How Do I Choose the Right Local Moving Company?

Choosing the right local mover is key to a smooth, stress-free experience. Start by looking for a company with proven experience and a strong reputation—like Hilldrup, with over 120 years of expertise. A reliable mover should be licensed, insured, and affiliated with respected industry organizations such as FIDI, United Van Lines, or Mayflower Transit.

Check for positive customer reviews and references, which offer real insight into service quality. Make sure the company provides transparent, detailed estimates—no hidden fees or vague quotes. Financial stability is also important; established companies have the resources to handle any move with confidence.

Lastly, choose a mover that offers strong customer support, including a dedicated move coordinator who will guide you every step of the way. With Hilldrup, you can count on personalized, professional service designed to keep you—and your life—in motion.

What is considered a local move?

A local move typically refers to a relocation between two addresses within 30 miles or less of each other, often within the same city or metro area. An intrastate move, by contrast, is a move that remains within the same state but covers a greater distance—usually 51 miles or more. See our Long Distance section for moves to another state or across the country.  No matter how small your move may seem—whether in size or distance—it’s still important to request a quote. This ensures that the cost is fair, the proper truck and crew are assigned, and that your move is scheduled and handled efficiently from start to finish.

How much does a local move cost?

The cost of your local move depends on your belongings, including how much you need to move and the fragility of your items (in case anything needs specialized packaging and handling). If you add on other services, like packing and crating, that would be an additional cost. A virtual quote will help identify the overall cost of the move.

How long does a local move take?

A local move can take one to two days, depending on the size of your move. If packing your home takes less than 150 cartons and is less than 18,000 pounds, it will take one full day. If your belongings take between 151-300 cartons and are between 18,001 and 36,000 pounds, it will take two full days. Once your move is scheduled, your move counselor can provide a specific timeframe.
