Moving Rates
Hourly Rate
Hourly Rates: You hire the number of movers you want to accomplish your goals and pay for their time. Movers come equipped with professional moving gear including various dollies and moving blankets. Free use of our cargo van with trailer is included, but it must be driven by a Dirt Cheap Mover worker. Large moving trucks are subject to additional charges at current rental prices plus mileage and fuel costs. More information on moving vehicles we use can be found here. Hourly Rate charges begin when the movers have arrived at the pick-up location, offloaded their equipment and are ready to begin working. Charges continue from this point until the job is completed, including blanket folding and equipment loadout. Hourly Rates are prorated down to the minute. Hourly Rates are as follows:
| Movers | Cash Discount | Debit Card Discount | Credit Card |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mover | $65 per hour | $68 per hour | $68 per hour |
| 2 or more movers | $45 per hour, each mover | $47 per hour, each mover | $47 per hour, each mover |

Minimum Charges
This policy affects Hourly Rate moves only. Dirt Cheap Mover is located in Corona, California. Customer moves that start and / or end more than 30 miles from Corona are subject to a 3 hour minimum hourly rate charge for each mover hired. Flat Rate moves, using our Instant Quote and Reservation System, are calculated based upon a charge for each individual item being moved and thus are unaffected by this policy.
Flat Rate
Flat Rate Not To Exceed Quotations are based on a charge to move each item. Customers can control the exact cost of their move by specifying only which items they want moved. All charges, including vehicles, equipment and labor are included in the quote. The total cost of a Flat Rate Not To Exceed Quote is guaranteed in writing. When paying for a Flat Rate move by credit card or debit card, payment must be made in advance to insure acceptance. Please visit our "Instant Quote" page to get started.
