Timing matters. Booking between May and August puts you in peak season, when local rates commonly carry a 20% to 30% premium and calendars fill up weeks ahead. Moving mid-month tends to bring the price down, and September through April is generally the cheaper, more available stretch.
Before you book, ask whether the quote already includes fuel surcharges, stair fees, long-carry charges for a truck that cannot park close to your door, and any surcharge for heavy items. Go room by room and check the garage before finalizing your inventory -- leaving items off the list is the most common reason a final bill runs higher than the estimate.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household.
