What Affects Full-Service Moving Costs?

Several factors influence your final moving quote. Understanding these will help you budget accurately.

Distance

Longer mileage increases fuel and transport costs. Cross-country moves cost significantly more than local moves.

Shipment Weight

More items = higher transportation cost. Your inventory directly impacts pricing for long-distance moves.

Stairs or Elevator Access

Flights of stairs may increase labor time. Multiple flights or no elevator access can add 20-30% to labor costs.

Packing Services

Full packing service can add $300–$1,500 depending on home size and number of items to pack.

Season

Peak season (May–September) costs more. Moving mid-week or off-season can save 10-20% on labor.

Storage Needs

Short or long-term storage increases pricing. Temporary storage for a few days typically costs extra per day.
