While moving to Alabama from the other side of the country – for example, Washington, Idaho, or Maine – the chances of you preferring a moving company from your location are high. However, as our network is spread across the US, you can comfortably find a mover to Alabama from your current location on MoverJunction. This makes your job easier. The process is just the same as we mentioned for Alabama.

Alabama State is spread over 52,419 square miles and there’s no common price tag for moving here, instead, the moving cost is determined by your current location, the distance from there to your new destination in Alabama, the volume of household belongings you move, the season you move, and the type of moving service. Also, the moving company you hire will have its criteria to decide the moving cost.

You may move to Alabama from the neighboring states (Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, or Georgia) or the other side of the US (Washington, Oregon, Maine, or Idaho) and this will be reflected in the total moving cost.

Here’s an approximate moving cost from different states to Alabama

From State Studio/1 bedroom 2-3 bedroom 4+ bedroom
Alabama $1,600-$2,320 $2,230-$3,160 $2,970-$4,130

While you prepare a moving cost estimate to Alabama, the following factors need to be considered:

  • Size of the move:

    The volume of household stuff you prefer to move is crucial in determining the moving cost. The more household belongings you have, the costlier the moving will be.

  • Distance you need to move:

    For a moving company in Alabama, the distance between two locations – from where you move and to where you move – is vital in deciding the moving cost. The fuel charges, mode of transport, and a few other factors related to travel are considered by the mover.

  • Packing services:

    A moving company will help you pack the belongings on the moving day. However, it will add the cost for packing materials to the total moving cost.

  • Moving add-ons:

    When you avail an additional service like handling a special item or dissembling furniture and reassembling it, the mover will add the price to the total moving cost.

  • Storage:

    While moving to Alabama, in case the home is smaller and you need additional space to store your stuff, consider hiring a storage unit. And if the moving company is offering you one, you need to remember that the rental will reflect on the total moving cost.

  • Moving date:

    The date of moving is highly important in terms of the total moving budget. Summers are expensive as most people tend to pack their homes in this season. However, moving in winter is cheaper as the traffic is too low and the chances to get discounts are higher. Similarly, public holidays are also costlier to move to in the US.

  • Insurance:

    An additional insurance against the household stuff you move is a good decision but it will get added up to the total moving cost.

Any move within the state, often within a 100-mile radius is addressed as a local move, and movers in Alabama calculate the costs differently for such moves. Usually, local moves are charged on an hourly basis depending on how many laborers are required to complete the task.

In Alabama, the average cost to move within the state could roughly be around $50-$75 per mover per hour. Usually, a minimum of 2 workers would require hours to complete the task in addition to the 1 hour drive time. This means you’ll be paying for at least 3 hours for 2 movers. The lowest amount you can expect to pay in Alabama for a local move would be between $250 and $300 unless your move needs more hours or more people.

To get a clearer picture of moving cost within Alabama, consider the following:

No. of bedrooms No. of movers and hours Approximate cost
1 bedroom 2 movers and 3 hours $250-$500
2 bedroom 3 movers and 5 hours $300-$750
3 bedroom 4 movers and 7 hours $500-$1200
4 bedroom 5 movers and 9 hours $1,200-$4,000
However, you need to remember that these are just approximate costs and the real costs may vary based on different factors.

To know more about local moving costs, read the MoverJunction guide on local moving quotes.

Unlike moving outside Alabama, you don't require to completely rely upon a full-service moving company or a partial moving service company to move within the state. Though a professional moving company in Alabama is a good option, you can even consider moving without a professional assistance, but the household belongings need to be limited. This will save you hundreds of dollars.

Different ways to move somewhere inside Alabama

  • Hire a full-service or partial moving service company

    Local moving companies in Alabama deliver both full-service and partial moving services. The cost factor dissuades a few from full-moving service companies and they go for partial moving service companies which are cheaper.

    On MoverJunction, you will find licensed local movers in Alabama, delivering both full-service and partial-moving services and you can a hire mover of your preference.

  • Hire a truck and load it with your stuff

    The easiest and cheapest way to relocate the home in Alabama is to rent a truck, fill your belongings into it and drive to the new home. The only cost you need to bear is the truck rental, which may be somewhere around $30 to $47 per day plus the fuel cost.

  • Hire a portable container

    When hiring a mover or driving a truck is not in your plan, hire a portable moving container to fill your belongings as per convenience. The company will deliver the container to your new home in a few days. A portable container within 50 miles would cost you around $400 to $500.

  • Rent a tow behind cargo or utility trailer

    You can rent a utility trailer to fill it with your household belongings and tow it behind your vehicle. This is one of the best ways to move home in Alabama when you’ve got just limited belongings to pack.

  • Move the stuff in your car

    Squeeze all your belongings to the car and drive to the new home. It is extremely cheap but the items need to be limited to fit into the car. And if the stuff is slightly more than what your car can hold, call up your friend and take his help.

Unlike moving locally within Alabama, moving from or to another state is a little complicated.

While moving long-distance or cross-country, your moving options are greatly based on how far you’re moving and how much stuff you have.

To move long distance, the DIY option is not always the safe bet because the rental trucks cost a lot more when you’re renting them to drive cross country. Also, consider the gas price along with the drive time and all the hassles that come up while driving long distances.

Renting a truck and driving it to the next state will work but anything longer than that you might want to consider the following two options:

Full Service Moving:

Hire a full-service moving company in Alabama that’ll pack the belongings, load the truck, and unload it at the new home. Though it is a little expensive to hire a full-service mover, it is worthy for long-distance moving.

moving partial services

In case the full-service moving budget is too fat for your pocket, consider a company offering partial moving services. You’ll get help to load and unload the stuff and you can rent a truck and drive yourself. Similarly, you may look into the moving container options.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Of course, moving costs can be trimmed but that depends upon your skill to negotiate. As the first step, collect as many quotes as you can. Compare the quotes and learn what is missing each quote and ask the mover in Alabama to make tweaks in the quote. Cut down all unnecessary services and see how much it will change the moving cost

If nothing works out, show it the different quotes you have in hand and tell the company how each one is prepared to give you an offer. There is no doubt that the moving company will be ready to slash the cost.

Some other ways to bring down the moving cost include:

  • Sell off the unwanted items to move with less stuff
  • Get free packing boxes
  • Move during the offseason
  • Hire a moving company as early as possible
  • Cut down additional services that cost extra

However, a few home moving companies also deal with auto transport. To know more about auto moving, read the MoverJunction auto moving guide.

When you approach a moving company in Alabama, you need to consider:

  • Reputation
  • Insurance
  • The company’s policy
  • Experience
  • Cost of service
  • Cancellation policy
  • Referrals

Your need for a storage facility decides whether you should hire one. While moving to a smaller home, you might require extra space to stock your belongings and you can consider a moving company in Alabama that also offers a storage facility. However, the cost is based on the company as there’s no fixed price tag here. When you rent a storage unit along with the moving service maybe the company would offer a discount. Everything depends upon the mover or the storage unit company.

Usually, the household items reach the new home in 6-7 working days. When you ask the delivery date, a moving company in Alabama will consider multiple factors like the distance, climate conditions, and the route is taken. For local moving, the household items will reach the new home the same day or the next day. However, if the new home is in Vermont or Washington, or Idaho, you need to give a week or more.
