Moving Companies in Burnsville, MN
Burnsville movers price local jobs hourly, plus a separate fee for anything outside standard labor and driving.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck (hourly) | $150–$200/hr |
| Per-mover rate | $30–$50/hr |
| Total local move | $400–$1,800+ |
| Long-distance (100+ mi) | $2,000–$5,000+ |
Two numbers worth remembering beyond the rate card: basic liability coverage is set by Minnesota law at $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound TV worth $500 is only covered for $12 if it's damaged. Most companies also charge a separate flat travel fee on top of the hourly rate to cover driving from their warehouse to your home and back; ask for that figure before you book, not after.
A non-binding estimate is only a guess; insist on a binding or not-to-exceed quote so the final number can't legally climb past what you agreed to.
Rates also climb between May and September, and around the end or start of the month when leases turn over. If your dates are flexible, a mid-week, mid-month booking is the simplest way to bring the hourly rate itself down before any of these fees even come into play.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Dakota County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
