Hansens Moving and Storage can help you prepare financially for any move. From our free moving cost calculator to our useful money-saving tips, here’s everything you need to know about calculating moving costs for your next relocation.
How Much Do Movers Cost?
The cost of hiring professional movers depends on the size of your move, the number of movers required, and travel distance. For local moves, our pricing is simple and transparent.
We charge $180 per hour for two men and a truck and $240 per hour for three men and a truck. All jobs have a 4-hour minimum, and a 10% fuel charge is applied to the total cost.
Local Move Cost
A local move typically involves relocating within the same city or nearby area. Pricing depends mainly on the size of your home and how many hours the job takes to complete.
With our hourly rate structure, most local moves fall within the following ranges:
| Home Size | Estimated Cost Range |
| Studio–1 Bedroom | $720 – $1,440 |
| 2–3 Bedroom | $1,080 – $2,160 |
| 4–5 Bedroom | $1,440 – $3,000+ |
These estimates are based on average move times and may vary depending on access, stairs, packing needs, and distance between locations.
Hourly Moving Rates
We offer straightforward hourly pricing with no hidden fees.
| Service | Rate |
| 2 Men + Truck | $180 per hour |
| 3 Men + Truck | $240 per hour |
| Minimum Charge | 4 hours |
| Fuel Charge | 10 % of total bill |
For example, a 2-man crew for the minimum 4 hours would start at $720 plus fuel charge, before any additional time or services.
Long-Distance Move Cost
Long-distance moves vary based on mileage, home size, weight of belongings, and travel requirements. Because every move is different, pricing is calculated individually using distance and shipment size.
Estimated long-distance ranges typically include fuel, labor, and transportation costs.
| Distance | Studio–1 Bedroom | 2–3 Bedroom | 4–5 Bedroom |
| 250 Miles | $1,300 – $2,800 | $2,800 – $5,000 | $4,800 – $7,000 |
| 1,000+ Miles | $2,000 – $4,000 | $4,000 – $7,500 | $7,000 – $12,000 |
| 2,500+ Miles | $3,000 – $6,000 | $6,000 – $11,000 | $10,000 – $16,000+ |
How to Calculate Moving Costs
To get an accurate estimate, consider the size of your home, the number of movers required, travel distance, and any additional services such as packing or storage.
Our moving cost estimate is based on:
- Hourly rate of movers and truck
- Minimum 4-hour booking
- Distance between locations
- 10% fuel charge
- Additional services if required
For the most accurate pricing, we recommend requesting a personalized quote based on your specific moving details.
