What Movers Charge in Union County
Local and long-distance moves here are priced very differently, so knowing which category you fall into keeps the estimate honest.
| Move Type | Rate | Typical Total |
|---|---|---|
| Local (under 50-100 mi) | $105 - $165 / hr | $1,000 - $1,800 for 2-3 bedrooms |
| Long-distance | Priced by weight and mileage | $2,700 - $6,400+ |
Basic carrier liability is minimal — around $0.60 per pound per item — so a dropped $1,000 television only pays out about $30 under the standard policy. Ask about full-value protection if you're moving anything worth more than that.
Walk every closet, garage and attic on video before accepting a quote, since undisclosed heavy items like a safe or piano often trigger on-site fee increases. A binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing protects you from those surprises, and cash tips of roughly $4 to $6 per mover per hour are standard practice on moving day.
This part of the state also sits along mountain routes that can turn rough with little warning outside of summer, so a move scheduled for late fall through early spring carries a higher chance of weather-related delays that stretch an hourly bill. Building in a buffer day when you can helps avoid rushing a crew through bad conditions.

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. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Union County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 70% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
