The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line. 

For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.

Plastic bins are excellent alternatives to moving boxes. They’re more durable than the traditional cardboard. Have any unused suitcases? Those can make for great storage solutions for your long-term needs. Avoid plastic bags or anything that doesn’t allow for breathability.

A DIY move is cheaper than paying movers. However, hiring professional movers can save you time and stress.

In almost all cases, paying for professional piano movers is worth the investment. Pianos weigh hundreds of pounds, making them very difficult to move, and they’re bulky, challenging to fit through doors and maneuver up or down stairs. Plus, they are expensive and potentially antique items, costing thousands of dollars. On average, professional piano movers cost around $400, which is much less than the price of a repair or replacement if you drop the piano or damage it in the moving process. Not to mention that moving pianos can be dangerous, and your safety is worth any price.
