Most moving companies in NJ, ours included, price local work by the hour rather than by weight. What you pay comes down to how many movers the job needs, how long they are on the clock, and how hard the two ends are to work in.
| Crew | Hourly rate | Typically right for |
|---|---|---|
| 3 movers | $190 per hour | A one- or two-bedroom home |
| 4 movers | $225 per hour | Three bedrooms and up, or anywhere stairs will slow the job down |
No weekend surcharge, no fuel surcharge, no stair fee added at the end.
Want a real number for your move rather than a range? Tell us the size of the home and the date, and we will confirm the crew and the hours it should take.
New Jersey moves require planning and local knowledge. Our movers are trained to handle:
We plan ahead so your move stays efficient and on schedule.
Residential work is the bulk of what our New Jersey movers do, and the phrase covers a lot of ground — a studio in New Brunswick and a five-bedroom in Summit are both residential moves. Here is what a move of each size takes.
These are planning ranges for a crew of that size on a home of that size, not a quote. New Jersey's rules entitle you to a written, itemized estimate after we walk the home or run a video survey.
From walk-ups to luxury high-rises, our movers are equipped for the realities of moving in New Jersey.
We regularly move clients in apartment communities and condo buildings throughout New Jersey. Our team follows building rules, protects common areas, and keeps your move organized and efficient.
Stairs, tight turns, and multiple floors are common in NJ homes. Our movers are experienced in safely moving furniture and heavy items through multi-level spaces.
Whether you’re moving into or out of a single-family home, we handle driveway access, garage loading, and full-house moves with care and attention to detail.
Not every move is a full house. We offer flexible solutions for studios, apartments, and partial moves throughout New Jersey.
New Jersey runs about 170 miles from its northern border to Cape May, so a move that never leaves the state can still be a long day on the road.
Downsizing a parent, or moving into a 55+ community or assisted living? Our senior movers in New Jersey run those moves at a slower pace with one coordinator from estimate to delivery.
Coming into New Jersey from out of state? We cover the Boston to New Jersey route in detail — what the Boston moving truck permit actually costs, what your New Jersey building will ask for on delivery day, and how a long-distance price is set.
New Jersey regulates household-goods movers through the Division of Consumer Affairs under N.J.A.C. 13:44D. Three rules are worth knowing before you hire anyone.
Expedite Moving is headquartered in Rahway, New Jersey, and our local movers serve communities across the northern and central part of the state. As a fully licensed New Jersey moving company (NJ Division of Consumer Affairs Reg. #39PC00116900), we handle local moves throughout these counties and cities — plus many towns in between.
If you are looking for local movers in NJ or movers in Central NJ, Rahway sits in the middle of that map — Union, Middlesex and Essex are short runs from our yard, and Bergen, Hudson, Monmouth, Morris and Somerset are regular New Jersey local moving territory.
For the towns where we move most often, we publish a detailed local page: what a typical move there costs, street and parking rules that affect the truck, building types, and what to plan for. More guides are added regularly.
Westfield is the biggest-ticket town we work in across Union County — the houses are roughly twice the size of the national average and the moves run to match. See what a Westfield move actually involves.

Expedite Moving bills local New Jersey moves hourly by crew size: $190 an hour for a three-mover crew and $225 for four. With a four-hour minimum that includes travel time, a small local move starts at roughly $800.
The hourly rate covers the crew, truck, blankets, shrink-wrap, floor protection, and disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture. What legitimately adds cost is packing materials, long carries where the truck cannot park close, and specialty items. Those are itemized on the written estimate, not added on moving day.
Tipping is customary but never required, and it is never added to your bill. Most customers who tip do so at the end of the day based on how hard and how carefully the crew worked. If a crew falls short, we would rather you call us than adjust a tip.
Yes. New Jersey requires household-goods movers to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs, which regulates them under N.J.A.C. 13:44D. Expedite Moving, Inc. is registered under #39PC00116900. Ask any mover for their registration number before you book.
Under N.J.A.C. 13:44D-4.6(a) a New Jersey mover cannot limit liability to less than $1.00 per pound per article. That is a floor, not full replacement value, so a 10-pound laptop is covered at $10 under basic valuation. Ask about full-value protection if that gap matters.
Yes. Under N.J.A.C. 13:44D-4.7, every licensed New Jersey public mover must keep a certificate of insurance on file with the Division of Consumer Affairs covering its trucks, the goods it carries and anything it stores. The regulation sets minimums: cargo liability at $1.00 per pound per article with at least $25,000 per accident, bodily-injury and property-damage liability of $25,000 per person, $100,000 per accident and $10,000 for damage to other people’s property, plus workers’ compensation for the crew. Any mover should be able to send you a current certificate on request. Ours is available when you book, and we issue a building COI for co-ops, condos and managed buildings that require one.
Three checks. First, confirm the registration: the Division of Consumer Affairs’ Regulated Business Section (973-504-6442) can tell you whether a mover is licensed and whether complaints have been filed. Every legitimate household-goods mover in New Jersey has a registration number; ours is 39PC00116900. Second, run the USDOT number through the FMCSA SAFER system to confirm the carrier is active; ours is 2491702. Third, read reviews where the mover cannot edit them — the Google Business Profile for the branch that will actually serve you, and the BBB. Reddit threads on New Jersey movers are useful for spotting repeated complaints, but treat a recommendation there as a lead to verify, not a verdict. Then ask for the certificate of insurance and the written estimate before you commit.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most local moves. Month-end weekends and late June through August fill first, so book those further out. We take short-notice work when a crew is free, and we answer seven days a week, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
It starts with a walk-through — a video call or an in-person survey — so the estimate is built on what is actually moving. New Jersey requires the mover to give you a completed written estimate at least 24 hours before the move (N.J.A.C. 13:44D-4.2(a)), showing the crew size, the rate and the expected hours. On move day the crew arrives with the truck, blankets, shrink-wrap and floor protection, takes apart standard furniture, loads, drives, unloads and rebuilds it at the new address. Local moves are billed by the hour — $190 for three movers, $225 for four — with a four-hour minimum that includes travel time. If anything is damaged, you file a written claim; the mover’s liability is at least $1.00 per pound per article unless you chose full-value protection.
Expedite Moving is headquartered in Rahway and our movers serve northern and central New Jersey, including Union, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Bergen, Monmouth, Morris and Somerset counties. If you do not see your town, ask when you request a quote and we will confirm coverage.
Yes, as routine work rather than an exception. Garden-style apartments, third-floor walk-ups and Hudson County high-rises each get a crew sized for the access. Where a building needs a certificate of insurance or a reserved elevator window, we handle it and issue the COI free.
Yes. We pack whole houses, and we also pack a single kitchen or a few boxes of fragiles. There is no minimum. Packing is quoted separately from the move so you can see what the labor and the materials each cost.
We handle long-distance household moves within New Jersey and the surrounding region, priced around drive time rather than as a standard local job. New Jersey is about 170 miles end to end, so an in-state move can easily be a long one. Tell us both addresses and we will confirm what we can take on.
