Cheap Movers in Brooklyn
The cheapest quote often isn't the cheapest move. In NYC, the usual complaint is a low phone quote that grows on moving day. The best way to save is to compare written quotes on the same basis: hourly rate, minimum hours, crew size, travel charge and materials.
What changes the price of cheap movers?
- Hourly minimums. A low rate with a 4-hour minimum can cost more than a higher rate with a 2-hour minimum.
- Weekday and mid-month dates are usually cheaper than weekends and month-end
- Packing yourself cuts labor time
- Getting rid of things before the move reduces truck time

Cheap Movers FAQ
How do I avoid a bait-and-switch moving quote?
Get the quote in writing with the hourly rate, minimum, crew size and every fee. Check that the company quoting you is the company that shows up, with its own USDOT number.
