A few costs are easy to miss when comparing quotes. Many companies charge a travel fee or a block of transit time, often 30 to 60 minutes, to cover driving from their base to your address and back, so ask how that's calculated. Stairs, elevators, and heavy items like pianos or safes can add $150 to $400 or more. Rates tend to run higher from May through September and around the start or end of the month, so a midweek, mid-month date can help with pricing. Standard liability coverage is limited to about $0.60 per pound per item by law, so it's worth asking about full value protection for anything expensive. Being upfront about everything you're moving, basement and garage included, also helps avoid a bill that grows mid-move.

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 Washington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
