F.A.Q

Every move is different, and so is the cost. Your final price depends on the services you need and the size and complexity of your move.
For example, a move where items are already packed and ready to go will typically cost less than a full-service move where our team handles the packing, boxing, and special care of your belongings. More time, labor, or equipment means more resources, and that’s what shapes pricing.
At VMI Moves U, two main factors determine the cost of your move:
1. Truck & Travel Fee
This fee covers:

• The moving truck
• Drive time and fuel
• Travel from our office to your pickup location
• Return travel from the final drop-off back to our office

It also includes all professional moving equipment we bring with us and take back the same day, such as:

• Moving blankets and pads
• Tie-down straps
• Dollies and carts

No surprise equipment charges; everything needed for a safe move is included.
2. Hourly Rate
Our hourly labor rate includes a 3-hour minimum. If your move takes longer, we prorate the time in 15–30 minute increments, depending on your location.

• The clock starts when the VMI crew begins work at the pickup location
• The clock stops once the job is complete at the drop-off location, and paperwork is signed

You only pay for the time worked.

Additional Services Available
To make your move easier, we offer a full range of optional services, including:

• Professional packing and unpacking
• Moving supplies and boxes
• Insurance coverage options
• White Glove moving services
• Furniture and electrical item removal or disposal
• Assembly and disassembly of furniture
• Furniture placement and room setup after move-in
• Item setup and final positioning

We tailor every move to your needs, nothing more, nothing less.

While estimates are carefully prepared, the final cost may change due to factors such as:

• Stairs or elevators
• Long walking distances
• Extra items added on moving day
• Changes in services or scope

We believe in clear communication, so our team will always keep you informed if anything changes.Honest Pricing. Stress-Free Moving.

That’s why we encourage you to speak with a VMI Moves U estimator before moving day. This allows us to understand your needs and provide the most accurate estimate possible.
