Moving quotes

Moving Services

Every move is different, and so is every price. Pick your kind of move, see what it costs, and know your rights before you book.

Helpful guides

Know your estimate type.

With a non-binding estimate, a mover can't make you pay more than 110% at delivery.

Default protection is tiny.

It pays 60 cents a pound. A $1,000 TV could get you $6. Ask about full value protection.

Stairs and long walks add cost.

Tell the mover about them up front.

Check the USDOT number.

Movers who cross state lines must have one. Look it up on FMCSA's website.

Get it in writing, after they see your stuff.

Phone estimates without a look are a red flag.

Never pay a big deposit.

A demand for cash or a large deposit is a classic scam sign.

You have 9 months to file a damage claim.

For interstate moves, the mover must acknowledge it within 30 days.

Tipping is optional.

Common guidance is about $4 to $15 per mover per hour.

    Tell us what you need

    Pick a topic and enter your ZIP code. That's it. We don't ask for your name, email or phone number.

    Learn what it costs

    See real price ranges from sources we name. Learn what makes the price go up or down, and the questions to ask.

  3. 3

    Compare your options

    See providers side by side. You pick who, if anyone, to contact. We don't pick for you.

  4. 4

    Visit when you're ready

    Go to the provider's site when you want to. You decide what to share with them.

AssistQuote may earn money when you use certain links or do business with a participating provider. This may affect which providers you see and where they appear. Providers set their own prices and terms. Compare your options before you decide.
