Real Advice from Queens Movers
"Best advice we can give is to find movers who will work you THROUGH your move. Not guys who are looking to be done with you. Moving in NYC has ALOT of variables. And it is a great resource to find a company like ours who will commit to helping you FINISH your move completely!"
- Just-IN Time Movers
"When driving in NYC, take expressways and not parkways. If you are driving a commercial truck then parkways are prohibited and can result in a ticket and fine. "
- Brotherly Movers LLC
"If you are moving into Manhattan or Brooklyn, please check with your building management on their guidelines. Some only want professional movers, others will allow you to move items yourself, and most require a Certificate Of Insurance (COI) to be produced by the mover."

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Queens
Tip 1: Avoid Citi Field When the Mets Play at Home
Baseball fans descend upon Citi Field for Mets games during the March-to-October season, causing major traffic congestion in Queens.
If you want to avoid sitting in traffic for hours, schedule your move for any day other than a game day.If it's unavoidable and the Mets are playing at home, steer clear of Downtown Flushing, Grand Central Parkway, Whitestone Expressway, and other routes around the stadium.
Tip 2: Find Short-Term Storage at Local Facilities
If there's a gap between moving out of your old home and into your new one, you may want to find a self-storage facility to temporarily store your belongings.
- Safeguard has seven facilities throughout Queens, including one in the south near JFK airport.
- CubeSmart also has several locations. Its facility on 42nd Avenue is handy if you're in North Queens.
Tip 3: Coordinate Your Move With Building Managers
If you're moving into or out of an apartment building, coordinate your move with the building manager to avoid delays on moving day. Make sure you know the answer to these important questions beforehand:
- Is there a loading dock or service entrance you can use?
- Do you need to reserve the elevator in advance?
- Should Masonite be used to protect the flooring?
- Are there any restrictions on the time you can move?
Why Book Your Queens Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Queens
Yes, sometimes thereâs an extra fee for stairs, depending on the moving company's policies. Some movers are happy to climb one, two, or even three flights, while others may charge extra for carrying belongings above the first floor. Check out this blog post for more details.
Yesâliving things (like plants and pets) and hazards like flammables should always be moved yourself, as movers typically wonât carry them. Also, consider personally carrying family heirlooms or items you cherish dearly. Moving insurance might cover breakages, but it can't replace sentimental items.
A typical Queens move costs around $518. However, costs vary depending on the size of your property and what moving service you choose. Use our Moving Cost Calculator to estimate how much youâll pay to move in Queens.
The morning rush begins at 7 am and lasts until 9 am. Although the afternoon rush hour runs from 3 pm to 7 pm, the busiest time on Queens roads is between 4 pm and 5 pm. It's best to avoid the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Long Island Expressway during peak times.
You're unlikely to need a permit to park a moving truck for loading and unloading unless your street has metered parking or is part of a residential permit zone. However, there are additional restrictions on parking commercial vehicles for long periods, so check the rules and apply for any required permits in advance to avoid fines.
