How it’s priced

Your price = crew size × time × hourly rate + truck fee

Every estimate is built from the same four inputs. Nothing hidden — you see each one on your quote before booking.

01

Crew size (from your scan)

Our AI counts the volume of items in your home in cubic feet, then matches you to the right crew — 2 movers for a studio, up to 6+ for a large house. Bigger crew moves faster, so fewer hours on the clock; smaller crew is cheaper per hour but takes longer. We pick the balance that costs you least in total.

02

Time on the job (from your scanned volume)

Based on the volume our AI measures from your scan, we estimate a time range — something like 5–7 hours. Your coordinator confirms access details (stairs, elevator, parking) before move day, and on move day you pay for the actual time worked, no more.

03

Hourly rate (crew size + day of week)

One hourly rate covers the entire crew and truck. The rate is set by two things: how many movers you need, and what day you're moving. Weekends and month-end days (busiest for movers) run a bit higher; mid-week is the cheapest window.

04

Truck fee (one-time)

A single truck fee is added to the total to cover the truck itself. No fuel surcharges, no per-mile fees. What you see is what you get.

Moving 100+ miles? Long-distance moves are priced differently — by shipment volume and distance instead of hours. Your quote shows it the same transparent way: one price, full breakdown.

California law

How drive time is billed in California — and why we don’t add a “travel fee”

California requires movers to bill the drive between your old and new address as double the actual drive time, at your hourly rate. So instead of a made-up “travel fee”, we just show you the drive time on your quote — you’ll always know exactly what to expect.

Example: if it takes 30 minutes to drive between your two addresses, we bill 1 hour of drive time at your regular hourly rate. That’s it — no separate fee, no markup on top.

Every LA mover has to follow this law. The ones who also charge a “travel fee” on top are double-dipping.

Frequently asked questions

No — it's an hourly estimate. We estimate a time range from your scan (e.g. 5–7 hours). On move day you pay for the actual hours worked at the quoted rate. Most moves land inside the range; occasionally faster, occasionally longer if we discover more volume or the access is different than described. Your coordinator confirms everything before crew arrives.

Very accurate on standard household items — the AI identifies each item and measures its volume from your video. If something was missed, you can add it before booking, or the crew handles it on move day at the same hourly rate. Nothing is repriced behind your back.

If the delay is on our side (late crew, truck issue), we absorb the cost. If it's on your side (packing not done, adding items, access issues you didn't disclose), we bill the extra hours at the same quoted rate — no penalty markup.

A small deposit reserves your move date — your coordinator confirms the amount and details with you after booking. The remaining balance is due after the job is complete, once you've confirmed everything is done.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the busiest days for movers, and month-end (25th–5th) is the peak of the peak. Rates on those days run higher across all LA movers — that’s the industry pattern. If your date is flexible, Monday–Thursday is meaningfully cheaper.

They can — access conditions slow the crew down, so they add time, and in some cases a fee applies (it's always listed on your quote before you book, never a surprise on the invoice). Tell us about stairs, elevators, and parking upfront and your coordinator will factor them in.
