F.A.Q.

The cheapest option is usually renting a truck and doing the move yourself. However, this can be difficult for long trips, especially across state lines. If you're hiring movers, the most affordable service is a consolidated move—where your items share space on a truck with other customers. This reduces cost but may increase delivery time.

For a move out of Massachusetts, the cost depends on distance, volume, and services needed. On average, budget:

$1,200–$2,500 for small moves under 500 miles
$2,500–$5,000+ for medium moves (e.g., Boston to Chicago or Boston to Atlanta)
$5,000–$9,000+ for large cross-country moves (e.g., Boston to California)

Additional services like packing, storage, and insurance can raise the price. Get a quote based on your inventory and destination.

For a 100-mile move, expect to pay:

$1,000–$2,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment
$2,000–$3,500 for a 2- to 3-bedroom home

This includes truck, fuel, labor, and loading/unloading. Exact cost depends on the number of movers, stairs or elevators, and whether packing is included.

Tipping is not required, but it's a common practice. If your movers worked hard and completed the job safely, a standard tip is:

$20–$40 per mover for small jobs
$50–$100 per mover for full-day or long distance moves

Cash is preferred. You can also offer water, snacks, or lunch during a long job.
