Hi Shyrl,

All sorts of moving companies will give that to you over the phone or via an inventory, but that's not a good way to get an estimate. The only way to get a true estimate is to have the moving company come into your home and see exactly what you need moved. You should have at least 3 companies do this so you get an idea of the going rate.

If you just want an idea of how you'll pay, this moving calculator will give you an estimate based on what several moving companies charge. It's just an estimate, but it's a start if you don't want to give our personal information. Go directly to the Full Service Mover Costs tab if you don't want to estimate your move weight.

If you're making a short distance move, it will be charged by the hour. Just call a few firms in your area and ask them their rate. This moving calculator doesn't do short-distance or small moves, because there are too many variables involved.
