Move With People Who Care

When comparing moving quotes, the lowest hourly rate doesn’t always mean the best deal. Here are key questions to ask any moving company before booking:

• How many movers are included in the hourly rate? (Lower rates sometimes mean fewer movers.)
• What is the hourly minimum?
• After the minimum is met, how is time billed?
• Is there a travel fee, and how is it calculated?
• When does the clock start on move day?
• Are taxes and credit card fees included?
• Are there additional charges for stairs, heavy items, or packing materials?

At DID Movers, we believe clear answers upfront help you avoid surprises and make confident decisions.

The travel fee helps cover the time and costs required to get your moving crew and truck to and from your locations. This typically includes:

• Mileage
• Crew travel time
• Truck usage, fuel, and standard moving tools

The travel fee is discussed upfront as part of your quote and is based on distance. This ensures transparent pricing and avoids unexpected charges on moving day. It does not change, so rest assured you're not paying us if we're caught in traffic.

A standard hourly rate with DID Movers typically includes:

• A professional moving crew based on your selected crew size
• Loading and unloading
• Basic furniture disassembly and reassembly
• Furniture padding, shrink wrap, tape, and floor protection
• Standard moving equipment and tools

We focus on efficiency, care, and protection — not add-on charges.

No. DID Movers believes in clear, upfront pricing. All charges are explained during the quote process so you know exactly what to expect before moving day. Additional charges you'll never pay for using DID MOVERS:

Our hourly minimum is two hours. After the minimum is met, time is billed in 15-minute increments. This allows for fair, accurate billing based on the actual time needed for your move.

Your exact minimum and billing structure will be clearly explained when you receive your quote.

We accept the following forms of payment:

• Credit cards
• Debit cards
• Cash
• Zelle

Payment details are confirmed in advance to ensure a smooth and simple process on moving day.

Here are a few proven ways to help keep moving costs down:

• Be fully packed and labeled before movers arrive
• Reduce the number of items being moved by donating or selling unused items
• Disconnect electronics and disassemble items ahead of time if possible
• Schedule your move during off-peak days if you have flexibility
• Choose value and professionalism over the lowest bid to avoid delays or damage

Good preparation saves time — and time saves money.

DIY moves may seem cheaper upfront, but often come with hidden costs such as:

• Truck rental
• Fuel
• Packing supplies
• Food for helpers
• Risk of damage or injury
• Time and physical effort

Depending on distance and size, a local DIY move can still add up quickly once everything is considered.

A long-distance move is typically any move over several hundred miles and may be priced differently than local moves. These moves often factor in distance, logistics, and scheduling availability.

For accurate pricing, it’s best to request a personalized quote based on your specific route and needs.

The cost of moving locally depends on a number of factors, such as:

• DIY or hiring professional movers
• Distance from your current location to your new location
• Amount of household belongings and materials needed to pack/protect
• Truck rental costs
• Hidden costs like damages from a self-move, buying food, gas, and supplies

On average, a local DIY move ranges from $250–$500, while hiring professional movers typically ranges from $600–$2,000, depending on the size of the home and the amount of belongings.
