Moving Companies in Minneapolis, MN
Local moves in Minneapolis run on the clock, not a flat quote.
A standard two-mover crew with a truck averages $80 to $120 per hour, and a heavier crew for a bigger home climbs to $150 to $200 or more per hour. Most local moves across the Twin Cities land between $300 and $3,500 total. Cross the metro edge into a long-distance move and pricing shifts to weight and mileage, typically $2,000 to $5,000 or more.
Two Minneapolis quirks change the math. Alleys and permit parking are tight, especially in older neighborhoods, and a truck ticketed or towed for blocking a snow route is your bill, not the mover's. Ask about a temporary parking permit before moving day. Most crews also charge a separate travel fee to cover driving from their warehouse to your door and back, so get that figure in writing.
Skip vague phone quotes. A reputable company will walk your home, in person or by video, and hand you a binding, not-to-exceed estimate, and should be able to show active Minnesota registration and cargo insurance before you sign anything.

Minneapolis refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $81,698 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Minnesota report $63,577. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Hennepin County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 13% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
