Overview
How local moving quotes work
Local moves are usually priced by the hour, based on the size of the crew, the truck, and how long the job takes. Because rates, minimums, and travel fees differ from company to company, getting a few quotes is the best way to find a fair price.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a local move?
Generally a move within the same metro area or state, often under about 50–100 miles. Movers usually charge by the hour for local moves instead of by weight and distance.
How far ahead should I book local movers?
Two to four weeks is ideal, and earlier for summer, weekends, or the end of the month. Last-minute moves are possible but options are more limited.
Do local movers need a license?
Requirements depend on the state. Many states license or register intrastate movers. Ask each company for its state license or USDOT number and confirm it's active.
Are the quotes binding?
Quotes come directly from the moving companies, and each company sets its own terms. Ask whether an estimate is binding or non-binding and get it in writing.
