U-Move: Cracking the Code on Hourly Rates for Movers
Moving can be a whirlwind! Between packing boxes, labeling furniture, and goodbyes to neighbors, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. One of the biggest decisions you’ll face is hiring movers. But how much will it cost?
Fear not, Rocklin resident! This article will break down what most movers charge per hour, including some factors that can affect the price.
So, how much do movers typically charge?
Generally, local movers (movers within the same state) bill by the hour. The national average falls between $40 and $80 per hour per mover. But that’s just a starting point. Here’s why the final cost can vary:
- The size of your crew: A one-bedroom apartment might only need two movers, while a four-bedroom house might require a crew of four. More movers mean a higher hourly rate, but also a faster moving day!
- The distance you’re moving: Local movers are typically cheaper than long-distance movers, who charge based on weight and mileage.
- Tricky furniture: Pianos, pool tables, and extra-bulky items often require special handling, which may come with an extra hourly fee.
- Packing services: Some movers offer packing services at an additional cost.
