Residential Local Move
You have plans to move within the state? It doesn't matter if it's across the street, around the block or to the other end of the state, that's a local move for us.
With Compass Van Lines every move that starts and ends within the same state is a local move for us.
Every localmove is based on an hourly rate. That means that you pay only for the time thatour crew spent on the job. You pay no less and no more.Our hourly rate is charged according to the time actually spent to do your move.
Our experienced and trained team will do everything to make sure your moving experience with us will be the best you ever had, even if it's just across the street.
Need a "certificate of insurance"? We will be happy to provide it for you. Compass Van Lines is insured up to $1,000,000 which allows us to complete any move in any building in Florida. All of this is at no extra charge.
Here is a better way to understand the charges:
Price of local moves is determined, based on five elements: labor, trucks, materials, and travel time. Unlike many local movers, we maintain total transparency when it comes to pricing.
Labor - You pay an hourly rate for each member of your moving crew. This billing starts from the time they arrive at the job - and ends when they complete their work at your new address.
Trucks - You pay an hourly rate for each truck used for your move. Keep in mind, you will need a truck that has been specifically designed to move household goods, not to move freight, be it a local or long distance move.
Materials - You pay for the exact cost of boxes and other packing materials provided by the mover during the move. For more details and information on materials, we refer you to our Packing Materials section!
Travel Time - You pay a fee for the time it takes the mover to get from his facilities to the origin of the move, and back to his facilities after the move is finished. The charge usually equals one-half hour to one hour of the cost for labor and trucks.
