The Clock Keeps Running on Affordable Moving

and So Does the Uncertainty

The cheapest hourly rate is rarely the cheapest move. A low number per hour turns into a long day, and fees for stairs, fuel or materials show up on the final bill.

Wall clockThat's how a cheap quote becomes an expensive move.

Red Cat does it differently.

Our price is set before moving day and stays the same, so the low price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

The lowest hourly rate is rarely the lowest bill. Travel time, fuel, stairs and a long day all get added on. An affordable flat rate is one that is still affordable when the truck is empty.

Ways to Spend Less

How to keep your move cheap without cutting corners.

  • Pick your date

    A weekday in the middle of the month can cost far less than a Saturday at month's end.

  • Pack the boxes yourself

    We wrap the furniture and pack the fragile pieces; you handle the boxes.

  • Bring your own truck

    Rented a U-Haul? Book Moving Labor and pay only for the crew.

  • Clear out first

    Add junk removal, so you don't pay to move what you don't want.
