Understanding Factors That Affect Your Moving Costs

Since every move is unique, there are mitigating factors that can increase or reduce the cost of your estimate. Here are some key questions to ask yourself and your moving company that will affect the cost of your move.

When are you moving?

Nearly 75% of all moves happen during the summer so if you are moving during that time, you can expect your costs to be higher due to demand.

How large is your move?

Stands to reason that the size of your house would impact the cost of your move, right? Moving a 1-bedroom apartment is much cheaper than a 3-bedroom house so if you want to keep costs down, reduce the amount of rooms your movers are servicing.

What are your extra moving needs?

If you don’t have time to pack or need to utilize a storage unit, services for these needs are available, but will also drive up the cost of your total move.
