How moving costs are calculated
Local moves are almost always billed hourly — you pay for the crew and truck by the hour, so the price depends on how much you have and how easy it is to access. Long-distance and interstate moves are billed by weight and distance instead, usually with a binding or not-to-exceed estimate.
The biggest cost drivers are home size, distance, stairs or long carries, packing services, and the time of year — summer weekends are the most expensive. The single best way to control cost is to get binding written estimates from two or three reviewed movers and compare them.
