What changes if Im moving out of the area?
Long-distance moves drop the hourly model entirely. Pricing instead depends on the total weight of your belongings and the mileage to your destination, running anywhere from $900 to over $5,000.
Is there a cheaper option if I do some of the work myself?
Renting a truck yourself typically costs $59 to $129 for a local trip plus fuel. Pair that with hourly labor-only help to load and unload, and you skip paying for a full-service crews time while still getting the heavy lifting handled.
