How Much Does It Cost to Move in Atlanta? A Straightforward Price Guide

The short answer

Most local moves in metro Atlanta are billed by the hour with a base price that covers the first block of time. At Compass Liberty Express, a 2-mover crew with a 16-ft truck starts at $300 for the first 2 hours, a 3-mover crew with a 26-ft truck starts at $900 for the first 3 hours, and a 4-mover crew starts at $1,000 for the first 4 hours. After the included hours, you pay only for the actual time on the job: $120, $150, or $175 per hour depending on crew size.

What the base price includes

• ✓The truck and insurance, plus fuel for the first 20 miles ($1 per additional mile)
• ✓All moving equipment: dollies, hand trucks, and straps
• ✓Furniture pads at no charge
• ✓Furniture disassembly and reassembly, free
• ✓A licensed and insured crew (U.S. DOT #2988642)

What can cost extra

We keep extras short and quoted up front: same-day rush booking is a flat $50, shrink wrap is extra, and mattress covers are available to purchase. Fuel is included for the first 20 miles from your starting location, then $1 per additional mile. Changes to the job itself carry flat, published fees — $25 per additional stop, $50 for a 3rd floor or above (stairs), and $25 for a building's insurance certificate — and we always tell you the number before we do the work.

How to keep your bill down

• ✓Be packed before the crew arrives — boxes taped and labeled
• ✓Reserve elevators and loading docks with your building ahead of time
• ✓Disassemble what you can yourself (though we do it free if you'd rather not)
• ✓Move on a weekday if your schedule allows — weekends book fastest
• ✓Tell us about stairs, long carries, and tight hallways when you book so we plan the right crew
