If you’re planning a move in or around Sacramento, one of the first questions you probably have is: How much do movers cost? The short answer is—it depends. But don’t worry, we’ll break it down so you can plan your move with confidence.

• Local Moves: $100–$150 per hour for 2 movers and a truck
• Studio or 1-bedroom: $300–$600 total
• 2–3 bedroom home: $600–$1,200 total
• 4+ bedroom home: $1,200–$2,500+, depending on distance and complexity

• Distance: Local moves are usually hourly; long-distance moves are often flat-rate.
• Stairs or Elevators: More levels = more time.
• Heavy or Specialty Items: Items like pianos or safes may require additional labor.
• Packing Services: Adds convenience but increases cost.
• Timing: Weekends and end-of-month slots tend to cost more.

• Schedule mid-week or mid-month: Less demand, lower rates.
• Declutter before you pack: Fewer boxes = faster move.
• DIY your packing: Cuts down on total service time.
• Compare mover quotes: Don’t go with the first offer!
