Every charge on a local move

What you pay for, and what costs extra

A local move inside DC, Maryland and Virginia is billed in two parts: the movers by the hour, and the truck for the drive to you and back to our lot. Everything else that can appear on your bill is in this table.

ChargePriceHow it works
Movers$150, $180 or $220 per hourFor 2, 3 or 4 movers. You pay for at least 2 hours, even when the move takes less.
Truck$150, $180 or $220 per hourThe truck costs the same per hour as your crew: $150 with 2 movers, $180 with 3, $220 with 4. Charged for travel: from our parking lot to your pickup address, and from your drop-off address back to the lot. Counted in 30-minute steps, 1-hour minimum.

Crossing a state line

Long-Distance and Interstate Pricing

The hourly rates and the truck fee above apply to moves that stay inside DC, Maryland and Virginia. Once your move crosses a state line the billing changes. We quote one flat rate for the whole job and agree it before you book, so the number on your confirmation is the number you pay.

We build that rate from what you are moving, how the crew gets in and out at both ends, and when you want to go. We go through your inventory with you item by item. Stairs, long carries from the truck and booked elevator slots all cost crew hours, so the access at both addresses matters as much as the volume. The date matters too, because summer is the busiest part of our year and midwinter is the quietest.

Crew time, the truck, fuel, mileage and road tolls all sit inside that one number. Nothing is added at delivery, and you are not billed for distance on top. Packing labor and materials are quoted on their own, and so is storage if your closing dates leave a gap.

How the Estimate Works

You get a flat rate in writing before you book, not an hourly estimate that grows on the day. It comes with the two cover levels federal law requires us to offer: Released Value at 60 cents per pound per item, included at no cost, or Full Value Protection for the declared value of your shipment.
