The Clock Keeps Running on Last Minute Moving

and So Does the Uncertainty

When your move is a few days away, the movers who still have openings know you're short on options. An hourly rate on a rushed job leaves the rush for you to pay.

Wall clockShort notice shouldn't mean signing a blank check.

Red Cat does it differently.

Your price is set before we come, short notice or not, and that's what you pay.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

A last-minute booking usually means an hourly rate with a surcharge on top. Our flat rate is set the same way as a move booked a month out: from your inventory, before the day.
