The Cost of Moving Services in Indianapolis, IN

On a budget? Our moving services include flexible options to fit a variety of financial needs. Full-service moving provides the most convenience, handling everything from loading to transportation — but it comes at a higher cost.

If you’ve already secured a truck or storage container and just need extra hands for loading and unloading, hourly labor-only movers are an affordable, budget-friendly option.

Check out the pricing table below to find the best moving option for your budget.

Real Advice from Indianapolis Movers

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

"Moving Downtown Indy can definitely be tricky with its heavy population and numerous one way streets. Almost all streets have room to safely park moving trucks and PODS(with proper permits). If ever needing a truck, the best places are U-Haul, they have numerous locations all over the city and give the best prices."

"It is best to book moving services outside of early morning and mid evening. Avoiding high traffic on I-70, I-65 & the 465 will significantly decrease the time to complete your move."

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Indianapolis

Tip 1: Plan Ahead for Parking

Parking in downtown Indianapolis can be a hassle — add a moving truck, and it gets even more complicated. To keep moving day smooth, check ahead to see if your new building requires notice, has designated loading zones, or needs a parking permit. If street parking is limited, explore nearby garages that allow oversized vehicles.

Bonus Tip: Are you renting your own truck? Ensure a seamless parking process by securing a permit through PermitPuller.

Tip 2: Avoid Peak Congestion Times

Nobody wants to deal with traffic while moving. Unfortunately, Indianapolis roads can get pretty congested during weekday rush hours, especially on the I-65 and I-70. The good news? You can avoid delays by steering clear of the roads between 7am and 9am or 4:30pm and 7pm, when traffic is heaviest. Plan alternate routes in advance — just in case you get stuck.

Bonus Tip: Stay ahead of the game with real-time traffic updates through local news outlets or the Indiana Department of Transportation's Traffic Conditions page.

Tip 3: Prepare for Seasonal Weather Challenges

Every local knows Indianapolis weather likes to keep you on your toes. Winters mean snow and ice, while summers turn up the heat and humidity. Keep an eye on the forecast so you’re ready for whatever moving day throws your way. Turn to the Department of Transportation's Condition Acquisition Reporting System (CARS) program to stay informed about weather-related restrictions, including closed roads.

Bonus Tip: Make sure you’re ready for seasonal surprises. Sprinkle salt on the driveway to avoid slips, and stay hydrated when that summer sun is blazing.
