How much you have, which decides the size of the crew and the hours 2. Stairs, elevators and long walks from the door to the truck 3. Distance between the two addresses 4. How ready you are when we arrive ## How to spend less Have everything boxed and taped before we get there. Clear the hallways. Book the elevator. Get rid of what you don’t want before moving day, because it’s silly to pay anyone to carry it. If you’ve got a lot to clear out, we can haul it on the same trip. Customer comment > Jeremy was on time and worked extremely fast to keep my costs down. Best movers I ever had. Tracy C., on Google ## Compared with other companies For a benchmark, a Kelowna mover’s published 2024 guide put two movers and a truck at about $139 to $150 an hour, and local moves at roughly $650 to $980 for a one-bedroom and $1,100 to $1,950 for two or three bedrooms. It’s a fair guide to the Okanagan, though rates change, so get your own quote. When you compare quotes, ask what’s included. Is there a minimum? Is travel time billed? What happens if the job takes longer? We’ll answer all of those before you book, and you should expect the same from anybody. ## Straight answers ### How much does it cost to hire movers in Penticton? It depends on the hours.
