How much do movers cost in Atlanta?
Every move is a little different, so here's a friendly look at what Atlanta movers cost. With Room & Road, a one-bedroom move typically runs about $870 to $1,030, and a three-bedroom home about $1,670 to $2,090. Have questions? We're always happy to talk it through.
Typical totals
What a move costs by home size.
These ranges come from the same formula we use for real quotes. They're based on an average amount of furniture, no long stairs, a short drive between homes, a weekday move and the travel hour.
| Home | Crew | Working hours | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 2 movers + truck | 4.5 to 5.5 | $870 to $1,030 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers + truck | 5.5 to 7 | $1,360 to $1,670 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 movers + truck | 7 to 9 | $1,670 to $2,090 |
| 4 bedrooms | 5 movers + truck | 8.5 to 11 | $2,940 to $3,710 |
Every total includes the travel hour. A lighter home can take less time or fewer movers, while extra stairs or a longer drive can add a little. Your free quote is built around your home and both addresses, so you'll know your number before moving day.

Planning tips
What shapes your total.
Your total reflects the time our crew spends on your move, so a little planning goes a long way. Here's what makes the biggest difference, and how to keep your move smooth.
- How much you're moving. A fuller home may need more time or a larger crew. Boxes packed and taped before we arrive help the day fly by.
- Stairs, elevators and the walk to the truck. We plan for these at both homes, so just mention them when you ask for a quote.
- The drive between homes. Your moving time includes driving your belongings from your old home to your new one.
- The day you choose. Weekday moves start at 2 hours, compared with 3 on weekends and holidays.
- Packing help. Rather not pack? We're happy to do it for you, starting at $129 an hour for two movers.
How we compare
Our rates next to other Atlanta movers.
In October 2026 we looked at eight Atlanta moving companies that publish hourly rates. For two movers and a truck, their rates ran from $145 to $219 an hour, with a middle rate of about $158. For three movers and a truck, rates ran from $185 to $249, with a middle rate of $205.
Our rates, $159 and $209, sit right in the middle, with the care and communication that make moving day feel easier. When you compare quotes, it helps to ask about minimum hours, travel time and truck fees, since some movers add a separate travel or truck fee of $99 to $200. With us, travel is simply one hour at your crew's rate, and it's already included in every total on this page.
