The Real Cost Of Moving
Getting ripped off is the #1 fear people have when hiring movers. That’s the nightmare our smart pricing model is built to avoid. Our pricing is complete and protected, so you can plan your move with confidence, not crossed fingers.
You need to know how much your move is going to cost before you book it. Here are two example quotes for the same move. You tell us which one makes sense:
| Fee Category | Typical Competitor | Einstein Moving Company |
|---|---|---|
| Base hourly rate | $170/hr | $200/hr |
| Trip Fee | ❌ +$150 | ✅ $0 (within our free service area) |
| Fuel Surcharge | ❌ +$89 | ✅ $0 (within our free service area) |
| Credit Card Fee | ❌ +3.5% | ✅ $0 |
| Damage Coverage Upgrade | ❌ +$250 | ✅ $0 ($2000 worth of coverage included) |
| TV Boxes (x2) | ❌ +$70 | ✅ $0 (included) |
| Shrink Wrap & Tape | ❌ +$65 | ✅ $0 (included) |
| Booking Deposit | ❌ +$100 (upfront) | ✅ $0 |
| Actual hourly rate | (we don’t know) 🤷 | $200/hr |
A lot of movers advertise a low hourly rate… and then treat the rest like add-ons. That “lower rate” is often just the starting line. It’s like a hotel advertising $199 per night, then hitting you with a $75 resort fee at checkout!

💡 Moving Tip: Ask when they start their clock. Some movers charge ‘portal to portal’—meaning you pay from the moment they leave their warehouse until they return. That includes drive time, traffic, and yes, their morning gas station stop. With us, the clock doesn’t start until we’re at your door.

Coverage That Actually Covers You
Most moving companies use per-pound coverage, which has nothing to do with what your stuff is worth.
| Their Coverage $0.60/lb Default | Our Coverage $2,000 Included. Free. |
| ❌ Your $1,200 TV (50lbs) = $30 payout. | ✅ Based on actual value, not weight. |
| ❌ “Upgraded” coverage costs $75 - $380 extra. | ✅ No extra cost. No upgrade required. |
| ❌ Still per-pound at $3 - $6/lb | ✅ We fix, repair, or replace based on real value. |
| ❌ $250 - $1000 deductible | ✅ No deductible. |
| You pay more to get coverage that still doesn’t pay you back fairly. | If something breaks, you’re actually covered. Not handed a check for thirty bucks. |
That’s like insuring your wedding ring based on how heavy it is, not how much it costs. Our approach is built around the actual value of your belongings.
With 4.9 stars. 55+ awards. 100,000+ moves completed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You don’t earn numbers like those by nickel-and-diming people on moving day.

Moving Cost Nightmares You’ll Avoid By Booking With Us
Some movers charge “portal to portal” which means you pay from the moment they leave their warehouse, not when they arrive at your home. So you end up paying for their commute, while they sit in traffic, or when they grab a coffee.
With Einstein Moving Company: The clock starts when we pick up your first piece of furniture or box. Not a minute before. You only pay for the time we’re actually working (and you won’t believe how hard we work).
Other movers advertise a low hourly rate, then hit you with surprise charges at the end: fuel surcharges, stair fees, disassembly fees, payment processing fees, taxes not included in the quote—the list goes on.
With Einstein Moving Company: Everything is included in our hourly rate. No hidden fees. No surprises. The rate you see is the rate you pay.
Before you book with anyone else, check their reviews for comments about “misquoted moves” or “surprise charges.”
Nothing like finding out on moving day that they don’t accept your form of payment or charge you 5% to use a credit card.
With Einstein Moving Company: We accept all major credit cards (Texas: cards only; Florida: cards and cash). No extra fees for paying how you want to.
Some companies bake in “mandatory gratuity” into their invoice or make you feel obligated.
With Einstein Moving Company: Tips should be your choice, based on your experience. With us, tips aren’t included in your quote but are never required, never expected, but always appreciated. Zero pressure.
How Our Free Service Area Pricing Works
We service within a 10–15 mile radius of each branch location at no extra charge. If your move is outside this zone, a trip fee may apply—and we’ll disclose it upfront before you book. No surprises.
