The first step in estimating your local or interstate moving costs is to consider if you’re going to use a professional moving agency or move your belongings yourself. Moving with a professional moving company may be more expensive on the surface than a DIY move. However, professional local or long distance movers typically offer moving services that go above and beyond simply renting a moving truck.

According to the American Moving and Storage Association, the average cost a homeowner has to pay for a local household move is $2,300, and the average cost of a long-distance move is $4,300 both based on a 7,500-pound average moving weight.

How are the moving estimates calculated?

The price from one state to another state move is dependent on several factors, including-

• Distance between origin and destination

• Weight of your belongings

• Move out and move-in dates (weekends, summer peak season, etc.)

• Additional services like packing and unpacking of the boxes

A full service moving company will assist you throughout the moving experience. Most Long Distance Movers Tucson AZ offers services beyond loading and unloading the truck. The amount of time, effort and stress you save may be worth the expense of adding these services.

While collecting estimates from moving companies for your upcoming move, take note of what is included with the price you receive. For example, a quote should include-

• Coordination of the entire move process by a personal move expert

• Loading, transport, and unloading of your boxes and furniture

• Placing furniture where you want at a new place

• Disassembly and reassembly of standard beds

• Moving appliances

• Full Value Protection

However, a full service moving services allow you to bundle additional services you need for your long-distance move. All full-service moves can be upgraded by the add-ons including Packing, Unpacking, Storage and Debris removal.

If you are moving a short distance, transportation costs may be less, because many short distance movers charge a minimum rate for each hour, which means that even if it takes only three-quarters of an hour to move, a mover will still charge you for the whole hour. Long-distance movers in Tucson who usually charge by the pound also have different rates for different distances.
