Moving in Athens

What we plan for before the truck arrives.

Bungalows, Craftsman houses, larger historic homes and student rentals.

  1. 01

    Small lots in Bloomfield

    The county describes Bloomfield's small, densely built lots. That can mean a longer walk from the truck, so we plan where it parks.

  2. 02

    Tree-shaded Cobbham and two-story Boulevard homes

    Cobbham has tree-shaded streets and Boulevard has one- and two-story houses. Tell us about low branches, stairs and parking at your address.

  3. 03

    Street and right-of-way permits

    Ask Athens-Clarke County about permits before placing a moving container in the street or right-of-way.

Same rates as Atlanta. You pay one travel hour, the same as in Atlanta. Georgia’s moving tariff caps billable travel to your home at one hour, however far our crew drives to Athens.

2-hour minimum on weekdays, 3 hours on weekends and holidays, plus 1 travel hour. Time is billed in 15-minute steps. Hourly rates apply when your move is 50 miles or less. Our rates stay within Georgia's household-goods maximum rate tariff (DPS Tariff No. 7).

Example: two movers and a truck working 4 hours, plus the travel hour, is 5 × $159 = $795. Your own estimate uses your home size, stairs and how full it is.

Questions

Athens moving FAQ

When should I book an August move in Athens?

Yes. Labor-only help is $129/hr for two people and $179/hr for three, with the same minimums as a full move.

Do you move people out of Georgia?

No. We move homes within Georgia, so both your current address and your new one need to be in Georgia.

Timing your move

Pick the day that works for you.

  • UGA move-in, mid-August UGA's 2026 move-in volunteers worked August 14–15. Check UGA Housing's schedule before choosing a move date near campus.
  • Home football Saturdays UGA plays at home on November 14 and 28, 2026. Allow extra time for a move near campus on game days.
