Moving Companies in Minnetonka, MN
Local moves around Minnetonka and the western Twin Cities are billed by crew size and time rather than by weight, so knowing the going hourly rate is the fastest way to judge a quote.
| Crew / home size | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $100–$140/hr |
| 3 movers + truck | $150–$200/hr |
| 1-bedroom, total | $400–$800 |
| 3–4 bedroom, total | $1,000–$2,500+ |
Almost every company enforces a two-to-three-hour minimum, plus a one-time travel fee, often $50 to $150, or a flat hour of labor, to cover getting the truck to your home and back. A three-mover crew costs more per hour than a two-mover crew, but often works fast enough on a larger home to come out even or cheaper overall.
Larger homes with more furniture and boxes take longer regardless of crew size, so the true driver of your final bill is total volume, not just square footage. Walking a company through your rooms, closets, and garage before booking gives you a far more accurate number than a quote based on bedroom count alone.

Minnetonka 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.

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.
