All cities with moving cost data

47 U.S. cities across 24 states · data updated 2026

Local moves price on hourly truck-and-crew rate ($120–$220/hr for two movers plus a truck); long-distance interstate prices on weight or volume tariff governed by FMCSA rules. The biggest hidden cost driver is stair-flight count and walk-distance from truck to unit, which a phone-quote often misses. Bonded/insured carriers pay 15–25% more than under-the-table movers but indemnify against load loss and damage. Peak-season (May–Sep) and end-of-month rates run 25–40% above off-peak. State mover-licensing varies — CA, FL, and NY require a CPUC/DOT motor carrier permit for intrastate moves; some states have no licensing whatsoever. Each metro page below lists dominant carrier tier, peak-season premium percentage, and the licensing-context that separates bonded carriers from black-market movers.
