The Cost of Moving Services in Fayetteville, NC

If you're moving in Fayetteville, one of your first decisions is the type of service you need. Moving help typically comes in two types: full-service and labor-only.

  • Full-service saves time and effort since movers handle loading, driving, and unloading. It’s a pricier option, but the convenience is unmatched.
  • Labor-only costs less, and movers will load and unload your belongings—but you’ll need to rent and drive the truck or arrange a container yourself.

Great communication! We ran into an issue with our POD having mold and the movers were kind enough to alert us to the issue and wait at the house while we called PODS. Due to the issue, they were not able load our stuff but they were able to get us back on the schedule on the 4th of July. Very impressed!

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

Tip 1: Apply for Parking Permits in Advance

Fayetteville enforces hourly parking fees downtown Monday through Friday, 9 am-7 pm. You may need a permit to operate or park a commercial vehicle in more congested areas. Contact the City of Fayetteville Traffic Services to plan your route around no-truck zones. Try to take care of this at least two weeks before your move so you have time to adjust if needed.

Bonus Tip: Check the city's Projects page for updates on street maintenance affecting traffic.

Tip 2: Lighten Your Load Pre-Move

Make the move easier on yourself by moving fewer things. Sell, donate, or discard items you don’t need at your new place. Several nonprofits in the area accept unwanted items, including:

Bonus Tip: Call (910) 433-1329 or use the FayFixIt app to schedule your one free annual trash pickup.

Tip 3: Keep an Eye on the Weather

Fayetteville gets year-round rain and has a chance of hurricanes in late summer. It also snows occasionally between December and February.

Try to stay ahead of these challenges by planning ahead and:

  • Avoid driving during extreme weather
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothes on hot days
  • Budget an extra day in case the weather turns bad
Bonus Tip: You can get the city's daily forecast via email with First Alert Weather.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Fayetteville

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

The cheapest way to move is to handle everything yourself—but it can be stressful managing packing, loading heavy items, renting and driving a moving truck, and coordinating all the logistics on your own. A less stressful option is choosing labor-only moving services. Labor-only rates are generally more affordable than full-service options, though you'll still need to do some tasks yourself. Namely, renting and driving a moving truck or arranging a moving pod.

For the lowest possible rates, book early, choose less busy days and times, and ask movers about available discounts.

You should book your move as early as you reasonably can—ideally about a month before your move date. The average lead time in Fayetteville is around 14, though this can vary based on your move details, location, and time of year. Booking further in advance may give you more flexibility with scheduling.

Moving companies on our platform typically include up to one free flight of stairs. Some service providers in Fayetteville charge an extra fee for more stairs, but they list the charge up front so you can see it before booking. Read the provider’s listing for details about their policies and what they charge for stairs.

Movers in Fayetteville work in all seasons, as long as conditions are safe. North Carolina does get tropical storms, including the occasional hurricane in late summer. In times like those, it’s usually better to reschedule for when the roads are safer, working outdoors is easier, and there’s less debris to deal with. Make sure you have a plan B just in case your move date needs to be changed on short notice because of the weather.

Some items can’t be safely moved, while others are better transported by you. Most movers won't handle hazardous materials, such as firearms, ammunition, gasoline, propane tanks, cleaning chemicals, or other flammable substances. They also typically won’t transport pets or extremely fragile items. Important personal items—such as passports, birth certificates, medications, jewelry, and family heirlooms—are also better transported personally for safety and peace of mind.
