Pricing: How Much Does Moving Cost?

Haulify’s pricing model depends on various details about your move. We generate a fair and competitive price based on the following:

  • Services requested (packing, furniture assembly, handyman work, debris removal)
  • Distance (moving distance and any additional stops along the way, any stairs climbed, proximity/accessibility to truck)
  • Inventory (how many boxes are being moved/the total volume of the move)
  • Date and time of year (prices can fluctuate due to demand and availability)

Moving is a business with seasonal fluctuations and we experience the highest demand between April and September. Moreover, Mondays and Fridays are when we experience peak moving demand and tend to get booked up faster. We also tend to be busiest at the start and end of the month. Due to the increased demand, moving on peak days can be more expensive.

In general, a local move can cost you anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars, while the cost for a long-distance move starts at around a thousand dollars. However, these are just rough figures and may not reflect the total price of your move.
