The Cost of Moving Services in Nashville, TN

Moving costs in Nashville vary based on how much stuff you have — and the level of help you want moving it. Labor-only movers help load or unload items, literally doing the heavy lifting, while you rent and operate the moving truck or storage container yourself.

Full-service movers also provide the truck and a driver, adding a bit more to the price tag — but they offer convenience and peace of mind.

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in Nashville

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers who select our labor-only moving service use the help to load or unload their PODS container.

In Nashville, labor-only movers typically charge $81.24 per hour. Generally, the more boxes or furniture pieces you have, the longer it takes to load or unload it all, and the more those hours (and dollars) stack up.

Want to save a few bucks? Schedule your move on Sunday, the most affordable day of the week to move in Nashville. Or plan your move in April, when demand and rates tend to dip.

The movers came - even in the pouring rain - to complete our job. We provided them a covered patio so our items and the movers didn't get wet. Regardless, they were on time and very quick. They helped us work through admin issues as well.

Real Advice from Nashville Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Nashville. (They’re really nice!)

"Alot of constant construction so map out your route accordingly."

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Nashville

Tip 1: Plan Ahead for Narrow Streets and Hills

Did you think navigating older Nashville streets in a car was an adventure? Try squeezing a moving truck into neighborhoods like Germantown or Sylvan Park. Consider full-service movers so you can rely on experienced professionals and avoid logistics like parking permits and city regulations.

Bonus tip: Moving into hilly areas like Bellevue? Steep driveways can leave a gap between the truck and the ground — a portable ramp helps make loading and unloading easier.

Tip 2: Consider Whether Events and Concerts Might Impact Your Move

If you're moving anywhere near Broadway, Music Row, or one of Nashville's event or sports arenas, consider how a major event could turn your moving truck into part of the pre-show traffic jam. Check venue schedules so you can choose a moving day when Morgan Wallen or Taylor Swift fandoms are less likely to dominate the roadways.

Bonus tip: Most major events take place in the afternoon or evening, so time your move early in the morning if your schedule aligns with a major concert or game.

Tip 3: Find Out if You Need a Permit

If your loading or unloading activities mean blocking a sidewalk or part of a street, you may need a permit from the Nashville Department of Transportation. The good news? A one-day loading or unloading permit is just $15 — way cheaper than the $45 fine you might face without one.

Bonus tip: When loading or unloading in high-density areas, such as The Gulch, be a good neighbor and avoid blocking paths and streets during morning or afternoon commute rush.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Nashville

You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Nashville.

The average move cost in Nashville is $486, but your final price depends on the circumstances of your move. The size of your home, the number of rooms, and any extra services you choose can all affect the cost.

Nashville can experience unsafe winter weather like sleet and freezing rain, making moving a bit more hazardous and increasing the risk of slipping and falling. Moving in spring is likely the ideal time, as the weather is typically nice. The cheapest month to move is April.

The recommended tip amount for movers is anywhere from 15-20% of the total moving cost. Keep in mind, that if your move involves heavy furniture or specialty items, you may consider tipping more to compensate them for the extra effort.

Moving companies that provide full-service moving are required to have licenses and insurance. For labor-only companies, licenses aren’t required, but many still choose to have them. Each HireAHelper company will list their license and insurance information on their profile.

It is possible that your move could cost more if you have a lot of stairs in your home, as that adds effort and time. Be upfront about the number of stories in your home and your needs so that you can get the most accurate quote for your move and help your movers be prepared.
