How much does a local move cost?

Most local moves are billed hourly per crew size, plus travel time and sometimes fuel. A bigger home, stairs, long carries from truck to door and a lot of heavy furniture all add hours.
Booking mid-month and mid-week is often cheaper than month-end weekends. Packing things yourself cuts the bill; ask about insurance and whether materials are extra.
