The Cost of Moving Services in Cleveland, OH

What you’ll pay for local moving services in Cleveland depends on the day, season, how much you’re moving, and the type of service you choose.

  • Full-service movers cost more since they bring a truck and handle the labor and driving, but the convenience and peace of mind you’ll get from letting a moving team handle things from start to finish is invaluable.
  • Labor-only movers are a more budget-friendly option, helping with just loading or unloading your truck or moving pod while you take care of the transportation.

See the table below for more information on moving costs.

The Cost of a Local Full-Service Move in Cleveland

The cost of full-service movers depends on a few key factors:

  • Higher cost, more convenience: Full-service movers handle labor, truck rental, and driving—ideal if you’d rather not drive a box truck. Expect to pay around $880.46 for a typical move.
  • Timing: Moving on a Thursday or in May can save you money. Moves during peak times, such as summer months and weekends, are much more expensive.

They even helped fix our wobbly dinning room table (Thank you!) We had heavy difficult furniture to move and in some tight spaces, but they finessed everything in its proper place.

Very contentious about handling our stuff while moving. Some things got broke in transit, not by Them Movers. They hauled it to the curb for us. Once they got the layout they were placing items in the proper rooms with little direction. We had half our stuff stored in a room above the garage. They carried it without issue. Will use them again if we move.

Pro tip: Book ahead as far as possible to get the best rates!

Tip 1: Plan for Unpredictable Lake-Effect Weather

Plan for unpredictable lake-effect snow, especially if you're moving in the fall, winter, or early spring. Don't pack snow removal tools away—you might need them during your move. Keep an eye on sudden weather changes that could leave roads unsafe to drive on. Download the Cleveland weather app to stay updated on conditions for moving day.

Bonus tip: Avoid driving your moving truck during early morning or late night hours to avoid dangerous fog conditions in the spring and fall.

Tip 2: Check for Sports Games and Major Events

Cleveland is a popular location for large festivals, professional sporting events, and other activities. Before you move, check Cleveland-area news channels, such as the following events calendars:

This will ensure your moving day doesn't coincide with a traffic-inducing event!

Bonus tip: Consider checking for Cleveland Browns, Guardians, or Cavaliers home games on your planned moving day, especially if your route takes you near relevant stadiums or arenas.

Tip 3: Get Parking Permits for Your Moving Truck

In certain areas of the city, including Little Italy, Hessler, West 81st, East 118th, and Newton Avenue, you may need a parking permit for your regular vehicle. You might also need a temporary permit for a moving truck if you'll block streets, bike paths, or sidewalks when loading or unloading.

Bonus tip: Download the OHGO app to check real-time traffic on your moving route and plan your driving and parking ahead of time.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Cleveland

If you live in or are moving to an area requiring a residential parking permit, you’ll have to get a short-term parking permit for your moving team in advance. Customers using portable storage containers, like PODS, for their move will also need to get a permit from the Director of Building and Housing in Cleveland.

When moving in Cleveland during rush hour, avoid major highways, like I-90, I-71, I-271, and the Ohio Turnpike.

The average move in Cleveland costs $413, according to hundreds of bookings made through HireAHelper. This price can be impacted by the moving services booked, the size of your home, the number of stairs you have, any extra-heavy items you possess, and a variety of other factors. Use our moving cost calculator to get an accurate estimate.

Most Cleveland moves require a 17-foot truck, but this will ultimately depend on how many belongings you have and the size of your home. Also, while most moving truck size estimators will list the number of rooms as the deciding factor, keep in mind that a three-bedroom home with only two people will have fewer belongings to move than a three-bedroom home with two parents and two children.

Renting a moving truck can range from an average of $138 to $252, depending on the truck's size, the length of time you need it, and the truck rental company. Moving truck rentals for long-distance moves are much more expensive, averaging $775 to $1,137.
