We move homes and offices, help businesses manage employee relocations, and provide portable and long-term storage solutions.
When planning a move, one of the first questions people ask is: How much will it cost? The answer varies depending on a few important factors, but we’re here to break it down clearly.
On average, here’s what you can expect to pay:
| Home Size | Estimated Cost (Local Move) |
|---|---|
| Studio/1-Bedroom | $400 – $750 |
| 2-Bedroom | $600 – $950 |
| 3-Bedroom | $850 – $1,200+ |
These prices typically include a 2- to 3-person moving crew, a moving truck, and 2–4 hours of labor. The average hourly rate in Memphis ranges from $100 to $150 per hour.
The final cost depends on several key factors:
Larger homes = more items to pack and carry = more time and labor.
Even for local moves, traveling from East Memphis to Collierville takes longer than staying in Midtown.
A small apartment might only need 2 movers.
Larger moves might require 3–4 movers.
Full-service packing adds convenience but increases the cost.
DIY packing can save money if done properly.
Long staircases, tight hallways, or no elevators can add time (and cost).
Moves requiring shuttle vans or multiple trips may incur extra fees.
Summer and weekends are more expensive due to higher demand.
Booking mid-week or during off-season months (Oct–Mar) often saves money.
A standard local moving quote typically includes:
Moving truck & equipment
Professional movers
Basic liability coverage
Loading and unloading
Disassembly/reassembly of basic furniture
Add-on costs may include:
Full packing or unpacking
Specialty item handling (pianos, safes)
Extra stops or storage
Here are practical tips to reduce costs:
Declutter before moving – Less to move = lower cost
Pack yourself – Especially non-breakables like clothes or books
Move mid-week or mid-month – Lower demand = better rates
Book early – Lock in prices before demand surges
Ask for fixed-rate quotes – Avoid surprise charges
