South County local moves run hot in Otay Ranch and EastLake new construction, where families upgrade within the master plan every 4-6 years.
How does hourly pricing actually work?
The hourly rate is set for the crew size you book. Time starts when the crew arrives at your origin and stops when they finish at your destination. Travel time between origin and destination is included. There's a 2-hour minimum and most movers round to the nearest 15 minutes after that. The not-to-exceed price on your estimate is a hard cap, even if the move runs long.
Do I need a 2-mover or 3-mover crew?
Studios and most 1-bedroom apartments work fine with 2 movers in a 16-foot truck. 2-bedroom homes and small 3-bedrooms are usually faster and cheaper with 3 movers because the hourly rate is higher but the total time drops by 30 to 40 percent. The movers we connect you with size the crew during the phone walk-through.
