How much does it cost to move to Michigan?

Michigan State is spread over 96,716 square miles and there’s no common price tag for moving here. Instead, the moving cost is determined by your current location, the distance from there to your new destination in Michigan, the volume of household belongings you move, the season you move, and the type of moving service. Your moving company will also have separate factors in deciding the cost.

While moving to Michigan from California, Vermont, Oregon, or Maine, you will need to spend more than moving here from Illinois, Kentucky, or Pennsylvania.

Here’s an approximate moving cost from different states to Michigan

From State Studio/1 bedroom 2-3 bedroom 4+ bedroom
Illinois $770-$1,250 $1,310-$1,990 $1,980-$2,870

You need to consider the following factors while making the moving estimate to Michigan:

  • Size of the move:

    The volume of household belongings you are moving to the new home is crucial in determining the moving cost. The more stuff you have, the costlier the moving will be.

  • Distance between your origin and destination:

    When a mover in Michigan determines the moving cost, it will consider the distance between two locations, the fuel charges, mode of transport, and a few other factors related to travel.

  • Packing services:

    When you want the mover to pack your belongings, it will bring in packing materials and will add its price to the total moving cost.

  • Moving add-ons:

    For every additional service like handling a special item or disassembling furniture and reassembling it, the mover will put a price tag, which will be included in the total moving cost.

  • Storage:

    After reaching Michigan, you may require additional space to store your belongings and can rent a storage unit from the moving company. However, the rental will reflect on the total moving cost.

  • Moving date:

    Most people prefer moving to Michigan in summer as the days are longer and sunny. As a result, there is less scope of you receiving an attractive discount or deal. However, in winter, you may receive better deals and discounts to move to Michigan. Hence, you need to plan to move to Michigan in winter if trimming down the moving budget is your goal. Similarly, public holidays are also costlier to move to in the US.

  • Insurance:

    You can take additional insurance against the household stuff you move but it will get added up to the total moving cost.

According to movers in Michigan, a move within the boundaries of the state or a 100-mile radius is a local move. And a local move cost is calculated on an hourly basis, which means the hours taken plus the number of workers you need to complete the task.

Usually, a moving company would employ a minimum of 2 laborers and 2 hours in addition to the 1 hour drive time to relocate home, which means you would need to pay for at least 3 hours for 2 movers.

And when you move the home locally in Michigan, you would require spending approximately about $50-$75 per mover per hour.

This means, to move home locally in Michigan, you would need to spend between $250 and $300 unless your move needs more hours or more people.

To get a clearer picture of moving cost within Michigan, consider the following:

No. of bedrooms No. of movers and hours Approximate cost
1 bedroom 2 movers and 3 hours $250-$500
2 bedroom 3 movers and 5 hours $300-$750
3 bedroom 4 movers and 7 hours $500-$1200
4 bedroom 5 movers and 9 hours $1,200-$4,000
Always remember that these are just approximate costs and the real costs may vary based on different factors.

Moving within Michigan is different from moving outside the state, especially long-distance or cross-country moving. When you’re moving long-distance, you may need to rely upon a professional moving company, considering the distance and volume of household belongings. However, to move within Michigan, you have got multiple moving options that are cheaper than full-service movers.

Different ways to move somewhere inside Michigan

  • Hire a full-service or partial moving service company

    When you hire a full-service moving company in Michigan, you are relieved from all pain related to moving, and the company will take the charge to pack your belongings, load the truck, unload it, and unpack the household items at the new home within 100 miles.

    A full-service mover is costlier and when you feel it will not fit into your budget, you can hire a partial moving service company that will help you load the truck and unload it at the new home.

  • Hire a truck and load it with your stuff

    You can get a truck on rent and fill your belongings into it to drive to the new home. It is extremely pocket-friendly as the total cost that you may need to shell out will be the truck rental, which will be something between $30 to $47 per day, and the fuel cost.

  • Hire a portable container

    In Michigan, you can get a portable moving container on rent, which will be dropped at your doorstep a day before the moving day. Fill your household belongings into it as per the convenience and the mover will drop them at the new address in a few days. A portable container within 50 miles would cost you around $400 to $500 in Michigan.

  • Rent a tow behind cargo or utility trailer

    When the household belongings are very limited, you can move the home in a utility trailer towed behind your vehicle. This is a common way to locally move the home in Michigan.

  • Move the stuff in your car

    You can even squeeze your belongings into your car and drive to the new home. And if the volume is a little more than what can be fit inside your vehicle, take the help of a friend and his car.

While you are moving locally, you’ve got many DIY options but when it comes to interstate or long-distance moving and they are greatly based on how far you’re moving and how much stuff you have to move.

While moving long-distance from Michigan, driving a truck yourself is not a safe bet because rental trucks cost a lot more when you need to drive them through multiple states. Also, the fuel cost, the drive time, and all the headaches that come with driving long distances will make DIY a painful experience.

Maybe you can drive a truck to the next state, but to move anything longer, you need to consider the following two options:

Full Service Moving:

When you hire a full-service moving company in Michigan, the relocation will get a professional touch. From packing to unpacking, assembling and disassembling your furniture to driving the truck and loading and unloading all the items, the entire process becomes safe, easier, and faster. However, a drawback of a full-service moving company is the cost involved.

Partial Moving Services:

While a full-service moving company is expensive, a partial moving service company is affordable and at the same time brings in a professional touch to the moving process.

You can also consider portable moving containers.

When you move the home, the biggest concern is about the safety of your household belongings. And you ensure that a moving company gaining access to your belongings, which include both specialty items and precious items, is properly licensed and verified. Only a licensed moving company can move your belongings interstate. Also, the mover must be a reliable one with a clean track record.

Verify the moving company’s profile on the Better Business Bureau (BBB), whether it is accredited by the BBB. There are a few bad apples that frequently switch names to evade legal issues.

However, while hiring a moving mover in Michigan through MoverJunction, you can be confident about the services as our network only has genuine and licensed moving companies.

And in case you’re hiring a mover in Michigan outside us, you need to confirm:

  • The original name, address, and phone number
  • Company web address and email address
  • Point of contact information
  • License and registration details
  • BBB-license details
  • Proof of valid insurance

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Most people assume moving to be an easy job but the reality is different. Moving requires extreme patience and extra physical strength as you may need to handle heavy furniture, antique items, or glassware. As a professional moving company that has the experience in lifting both heavy and special items, it would be always beneficial to have a team at your side.

When you carry a heavy item, even a mild error can cause serious injury or a miscalculation can damage a piano or grandfather clock.

Instead, a professional mover will have the idea to get the job done in a short span, much efficiently.

There is no rule related to tipping. However, you can offer a tip as a gesture to workers for a satisfying service provided. When you hire a mover, it takes up the responsibility to safely deliver your household stuff at the new home, and like any service provider; the laborers expect recognition for a job well done. Offer beverages (water, sports drink, soda) and food (breakfast rolls, sandwiches, pizza, cookies), which will be a good gesture.

When you approach a moving company in Michigan, you need to consider:

  • Reputation
  • Insurance
  • The company’s policy
  • Experience
  • Cost of service
  • Cancellation policy
  • Referrals

When you doubt that the weight is not accurate, you can demand reweighing before it is unloaded. Legally, it cannot be extra charged but the final cost would be based on the reweighed weight. You also have the right to observe the weighing process and can also demand to observe the reweigh in writing.

 

Legally, you cannot move combustible or flammable materials. Hence, no mover will be ready to transport combustible materials including but not limited to, cleaning solvents, corrosives, fireworks or flares, gasoline, kerosene, motor fuel, lamp oil, oil-based paints, thinners, and varnishes, lighter fluid, fire extinguishers, nail polish remover, bleach, sterno, aerosol cans, propane containers and cylinders, matches, and old batteries.

Apart from that, every moving company in Michigan will have a policy related to the items that are moved. Please check with the company while discussing the moving quote.
