What is the Average Cost of Moving?

Moving can be a stressful and expensive process, but it doesn't have to be. Knowing the average cost of moving can help you plan your budget and make sure you don't overspend. The average cost of a local move depends on the size of the move, the distance, and any additional services you may need. For international moves, the cost will depend on the size of the move, the distance, and any additional services you may require.

The average cost of a local move is typically between $1,250 and $2,000 for a two-person team doing a move of less than 100 miles. The exact date you schedule your move can also play an important role in reducing costs. When it comes to international moves, the moving company must conduct an in-person inspection or video survey of your belongings before giving you a quote. The cost of a local move can also vary depending on the number of rooms in your home.

Here is a table with the average cost of people moving for a local move based on the number of rooms in their home:

  • Studio/1-bedroom: $800-$1,000
  • 2-bedroom: $1,100-$1,400
  • 3-bedroom: $1,400-$2,000
  • 4-bedroom: $2,000-$2,500
You can reduce your average moving costs by packing your own belongings. This average is based on a moving weight of 10,000 pounds and does not include extras such as packing services. If you choose to pack your own belongings, make sure you have the time and skills needed to do so correctly. When it comes to international moves, the cost will depend on the size of the move, the distance, and any additional services you may require.

The cost of additional packing services will depend on how many hours your employees spend packing their household items. If you're considering renting a moving truck for your move, make sure you familiarize yourself with the average cost so that you can set your budget accordingly.
