Moving Services for Every Stage of Life
Downsizing and Senior Moves
More than 1 in 5 Surprise residents are 65 or older, and the city has several active adult communities. Residential moving is billed hourly at $184 to $204, and a downsizing move into a patio home often takes fewer movers than the house it leaves. We sort out the number during the walkthrough. Before move day, measure the rooms in the new place and decide which pieces fit, so the movers load only what is going with you. Items you are not keeping can go into storage while family members decide who takes them.
Moves Into New Construction
North Surprise is still building out, and a move into a brand-new home runs on your builder’s closing date. A local move across Surprise or the West Valley runs on the same hourly rate, with two movers and a truck at $204 per hour.
Out-of-State Moves From Surprise
Long distance moves leave on a truck dedicated to your belongings and drive straight to your new home. Our estimates for a typical household leaving the Phoenix area for Chicago run $20,659 to $24,791. Many winter residents in Arizona come from the Midwest and Canada, and a cross-country move back east runs on a dedicated truck too.
Packing and Short-Term Storage
Our movers can pack the whole house, or you can order boxes and supplies and pack what you are keeping. If your new home is not ready on closing day, storage bridges the gap.
Surprise Movers Cost: Hourly Rates
For a Surprise move we typically charge $184 to $204 per hour, set by the day and our availability. Two movers with one truck bill at $204 an hour on our regular rate.
| Movers and trucks | Regular hourly rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers and 1 truck | $204 |
| 3 movers and 1 truck | $277 |
| 4 movers and 2 trucks | $373 |
The hourly rate includes the truck, the movers, and their dollies, straps, and furniture blankets. Surprise sits about 45 minutes from downtown Phoenix, so moves between the two cities carry more drive time than a move inside town. Loop 303, Grand Avenue, and Bell Road carry most of the traffic in and out of town, and the route you take sets part of the bill. Weekend and summer dates carry premium rates.
