Hourly Rates Explained at Marcelo’s Movers:

Factors Influencing Moving Costs:

Distance of the Move:

• Long-distance moves typically incur higher costs due to increased fuel expenses and travel time.
• Movers may also charge additional fees for mileage, tolls, and overnight accommodations for interstate moves.
• Local moves within the same city or neighborhood generally have lower hourly rates but can still vary depending on the distance traveled.

2. Size and Complexity of the Job:
   • The size of your home and the amount of furniture and belongings you have directly impact the time and labor required for the move.
   • Larger homes with multiple rooms and heavy or bulky items may require more movers or specialized equipment, resulting in higher costs.
   • Factors such as stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, and tight corners can add complexity to the job and increase the time needed to complete the move.
     
3. Additional Services Required:
   • Movers may offer additional services such as packing, unpacking, furniture disassembly, and assembly.
   • These services can save you time and effort but may come at an extra cost.
   • Specialized items such as pianos, antiques, artwork, or fragile items may require extra care and incur additional charges for handling and transportation.
     
4. Time of Year:
   • Moving rates can fluctuate depending on the time of year and demand for moving services.
   • Peak seasons, such as summer months and weekends, often have higher rates due to increased demand.
   • Off-peak times, such as weekdays and winter months, may offer lower rates and more flexibility in scheduling.
     
5. Accessibility and Parking:
   • Limited parking, narrow streets, or difficult access to your home can affect the time and effort required for movers to load and unload your belongings.
   • If movers have to carry items long distances or use stairs or elevators, it can increase the labor costs and overall moving expenses.
