Local Moving Cost Estimates (Clarksville and Nearby)

or local moves (typically within 50–100 miles, intrastate), moving companies charge by the hour. ATC Moving offers competitive hourly rates ranging from $120 to $180 per hour for local moves. This hourly rate usually includes a professional crew and a moving truck. The total cost will depend on the number of hours and movers needed. (Most local moves also have a minimum charge, often 2 hours, and a small travel fee to cover getting the crew to your location and back.) On average, a local move in Tennessee might cost around $800 to $2,500 in total allied.com, but it can be less for small apartments or more for large homes. In fact, nationally the average local move costs about $1,250 for a 2–3 bedroom house moving.com. Below are some sample local moving estimates for the Clarksville area using our hourly rates:

Estimations include loading, transport within Clarksville or nearby, and unloading. They do not include packing services or materials. For example, if you’re moving a 3-bedroom house across town and it takes about 6 hours with a couple of movers, the cost might be roughly $900 (6 hours × $150/hr). If your move is smaller, say a one-bedroom apartment that only takes 3 hours, it could be under $500 total. Keep in mind there may be a one-time travel fee (often equivalent to one hour of work) added for local moves moving.com, which in our case would be about $120–$180 to cover truck travel time.

Pro Tip: To save money on local moves, try to avoid peak moving times. Weekends and end-of-month dates book up quickly and may have higher rates due to demand moving.com. If possible, schedule your move for a weekday in the middle of the month. Also, being fully packed and prepared when the movers arrive will ensure the job goes as quickly as possible, keeping your hourly costs down.

Long-Distance Moving Estimates (Mileage-Based Pricing)

Long-distance moves are typically priced based on distance (mileage) and the size of your shipment. If you’re moving from Clarksville to a far-off city or out of state, ATC Moving will calculate costs with a mileage-based rate (and factors like load size). Unlike local moves, where time is the main factor, long-distance moves include fuel, distance, and sometimes weight of your belongings in the pricing. For instance, moving from Clarksville to Memphis (~200 miles) will cost less than moving from Clarksville to Chicago or beyond. What might a long-distance move cost? Here are a few sample moving distance estimates for a typical mid-sized household:

These ranges include the truck, fuel, and basic labor for loading/unloading a 2–3 bedroom household. Heavier or larger moves (for example, a 4–5 bedroom house) will trend to the higher end or above these ranges – long-distance moves for big homes can even reach $8,000 to $10,000+ in some cases allied.com. (For context, a 1,000-mile move nationwide averages around $4,890 for a standard 2–3 bedroom load moving.com, but your price will vary based on your actual inventory and services).

Note: Our mileage-based quotes are designed to be straightforward. We’ll estimate the cost based on the distance to your new home and the amount of furniture and boxes you have. This quote will include fuel and travel time. Additional services (like packing or special handling) would be added on top. Every long-distance move gets a written estimate, so you know exactly what to expect. And as always, we recommend a personalized in-home or virtual assessment for the most accurate long-distance moving quote – there’s no substitute for a custom quote when planning a big move.

Packing Services and Supplies (Optional)

Packing up an entire house is time-consuming – that’s why we offer packing services to help our Clarksville customers prepare for moving day. You can opt to have our professional movers pack some or all of your belongings, which will add an extra cost but can be well worth it for the convenience and peace of mind. How are packing costs calculated? Generally, we charge packing services at an hourly rate (similar to moving labor) or sometimes a per-box rate for special fragile items or boxes packed. The exact pricing depends on the volume of items and level of service you need:

Hourly Packing Rates: Typically around $50–$80 per packer, per hour homeguide.com. At ATC, if you hire two packers for $60 each per hour, that’s about $120/hour for packing assistance. We bring the packing materials (boxes, tape, wrapping paper) and carefully box up your items. You might choose this option if you want us to handle all packing, or just certain rooms (like your kitchen or delicate items). For example, packing up a kitchen and living room might take ~5 hours for our team, costing roughly $600 (labor). According to industry data, packing a 2-bedroom home can cost around $280 on the low end to $1,000 or more for full packing services homeguide.com, depending on how much stuff you have and whether you need specialized crating for very fragile or valuable items.

Per-Box / Fixed Packing Rates: In some cases, we can quote a price per box or a flat rate for packing a particular area. For instance, if you only need help packing fragile china and glassware, we might charge a set fee per dish pack box (including materials and labor). A rough example: $20 per packed dish box, which includes the box and cushioning materials. This option can be useful if you have a specific packing task in mind. We’ll happily discuss these options when you request your quote.

When using our moving cost calculator, don’t forget to factor in packing if you plan to use it. Packing services are optional – many customers save money by packing themselves, while others prefer to have our team handle it all. Even if you do your own packing, we can supply sturdy moving boxes and supplies (for purchase or sometimes included in full-service moves). Just let us know your needs, and we’ll make sure you have the right materials.

Storage Options (Short-Term & Long-Term)

Need to store your belongings for a while? Whether you’re waiting on a new home to be ready or have a gap between move-out and move-in, ATC Moving can help with secure storage. We offer clean, climate-controlled storage solutions in the Clarksville area. Storage fees are typically charged monthly and depend on how much space your items require. For example, a one-bedroom apartment’s contents might fit in a small storage vault for a few hundred dollars a month. Larger homes will need more space (and cost more). We’ll provide an estimate for storage along with your moving quote if you need this service.

Keep in mind that using storage will add load/unload labor (we have to move your items into storage and then out again when you’re ready for delivery) and the storage rental fee. If you think you might need storage, mention it when requesting your quote so we can include all costs in one plan. We strive to make these transitions smooth – your items will stay safely packed and secured until you’re ready for them.

Factors That Can Affect Your Moving Cost

Every move is different. Here are some key factors that influence the cost of your move:

Distance of the Move: As shown above, distance is a major cost driver. Local moves are billed hourly, while longer distances incur mileage, fuel, and travel time charges. The farther the move, generally the higher the cost (especially for interstate moves).

Size of Your Move (Weight/Volume): The more stuff you have, the more time, labor, and possibly larger truck space you’ll need. A studio apartment will cost less to move than a fully furnished four-bedroom house. For long-distance moves, the weight of your shipment is crucial – heavier shipments cost more. (Decluttering before moving can save you money!)

Time/Season: Movers are in highest demand during weekends, end-of-month, and summer peak moving seasonmoving.commoving.com. If you schedule your move during these times, rates might be higher or booking availability tighter. Conversely, moving on a weekday or during the off-season (late fall or winter) can sometimes result in lower quotes.

Additional Services: Packing services, as discussed, will add to your cost if you choose them. Storage, packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap), and specialty item handling (like pianos, pool tables, safes) also affect the price. We will outline any extra service fees clearly in your quote. For example, handling a bulky piano might have an extra fee due to the equipment and care needed.

Home Access and Conditions: The ease of access at pickup and drop-off can impact cost. Stairs, long carries (distance from door to truck), or lack of parking for the truck might increase labor time. If our crew needs to carry items a long way or use special equipment (like hoisting a couch over a balcony!), it can add to the cost. We assess these factors during the estimate to plan accordingly.

Insurance Coverage/Valuation: Basic mover’s liability coverage is typically included, but if you opt for full-value protection insurance, it will cost extra. This isn’t a huge portion of the cost, but it’s something to consider. We’ll explain your options so you can choose the level of coverage you’re comfortable with.

Date Flexibility: If you have flexibility with your moving date, let us know. Sometimes a quote can be adjusted if you’re able to move on a slightly different date that’s more open for us. We want to give you the best rate and a smooth experience.

By understanding these factors, you can better plan and even find ways to save on your move. Our moving calculator tool and team take all of this into account when creating a personalized moving estimate for you.
