Could you estimate moving expenses in this situation based on your previous experiences?
Question : Could you estimate moving expenses in this situation based on your previous experiences?
I’m looking for people who have had experience moving from one downtown city apartment to another. The person would be moving from one apartment downtown Chicago to another. The apartments are about 30 minutes apart, in different neighborhoods. If a moving company were hired, what could be expected as costs?
I realize this is vague but I’m looking for a rough estimate (for example, are we talking $ 500 or $ 1,000?) Thanks!

Moving companies charge by weight and distance. Get some estimates. They’re usually free.
On local moves the charge is usually based on time, from start time to end time. Most movers will charge what’s called travel time and even fuel surcharges, to cover their expenses to get to you and back. Price per hour will vary, depending on the company’s tariff, number of men that your move requires, packing services etc. Some companies will charge you extra for stairs or walking distance as well.
