What to know about moving in Montgomery
The total cost of your Montgomery move will fluctuate depending on when you move, how far you’re going, how many belongings you have, and more. The type of moving services you choose will also be a big factor in the cost: full-service moving costs start at $1,200, storage containers are around $850, and moving truck rentals start at $120.1
If you’re moving during peak season (the summer or holidays), it’s smart to book a moving company at least eight weeks in advance.2 There’s never any harm in booking a mover well ahead of schedule, even if you’re moving during a low-demand time of year. However, if you’re in a pinch, you may be able to book a moving company just a few weeks (or days) in advance.
Based on the national average, you can expect to pay about $3 per mile for moving containers in Montgomery. This typically comes out to about $3,8703—but your costs will vary depending on factors like how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and the time of year when you plan to move.
