How Much Does It Cost to Move?

A moving quote depends on several factors, including the size of your move, distance, and the services you choose. At Bayshore Moving and Storage, we offer guaranteed pricing and estimates to help you plan your budget with confidence. Whether you’re planning a local or long-distance move, we offer accurate quotes that are clear and straightforward with no hidden fees.


Understanding Moving Costs

The cost to move varies based on multiple factors, including:

  • Distance – The farther you move, the higher the cost tends to be.
  • Total volume and weight of items – A larger home usually means more effort and space required.
  • Packing Services – Hiring professionals to pack ensures safe transport of your belongings but is an extra cost.
  • Specialty Moving – Moving valuable or difficult-to-move pieces like antiques, pianos, or large furniture increases the cost due to special handling.
  • Storage Solutions – Storing your belongings before or after a move adds another layer of cost.
