Quick Answer: What’s the Best Way to Get Affordable NYC Movers?
The best way to get affordable NYC movers is to choose a reputable company that provides a written estimate, clear scope (move-only vs. full packing), building-ready logistics (COIs, elevator scheduling), and a crew size matched to your inventory. The most cost-effective “full service” moves often come from combining packing + moving + protection into one plan instead of paying separate vendors.
Typical NYC Moving Costs (Studio, 1BR, 2BR) — Move-Only vs. Full Service w/ Packing
Below are typical NYC market ranges for local moves. Real pricing changes based on stairs vs. elevator, distance, heavy items, packing level, and timing. These ranges are compiled from widely published NYC moving cost data and national packing cost ranges. (For example, NYC move ranges for studios/1BR/2BR are commonly reported in the hundreds to low-thousands depending on size and complexity, while packing services are often listed as a few hundred to a couple thousand depending on home size and materials.)
Apartment Size
Move-Only (Typical NYC Range)
Full Service w/ Packing (Typical NYC Range)
Studio
$400 – $1,200
$800 – $2,100
1 Bedroom
$600 – $1,500
$1,100 – $2,800
2 Bedroom
$900 – $2,000
$1,600 – $3,600
Where do these ranges come from? NYC-specific estimates commonly show studio/1BR moves in the low hundreds to around $1,200+ and 2BR moves often around $800–$2,000+ depending on complexity, with hourly crew rates frequently published in the ~$140–$180+ range for two movers and a truck. Packing services are often cited as costing roughly a few hundred to a couple thousand depending on home size and materials. Use the ranges above as a budgeting guide—then get a written quote based on your exact inventory.
What’s Included in “Move-Only” vs. “Full Service w/ Packing”?
Move-Only (Typical)
Professional movers + truck
Loading & unloading
Basic furniture protection (padding/wrap varies by company)
Transport between addresses
Full Service w/ Packing (Typical)
Everything in Move-Only
Packing of kitchen, closets, breakables (partial or full)
Boxes & packing materials (if included in scope)
Disassembly/reassembly as needed
Better protection for fragile/high-value items
Tip: If you want “affordable full service,” the biggest lever is choosing partial packing (kitchen + fragile items + TVs/art) while you pack clothing and non-breakables yourself.
Why NYC Moves Get Expensive (And How to Keep Yours Affordable)
Walk-ups / stairs: More labor time and crew effort
Long carry: Distance from truck to elevator/apartment
Building rules: COIs, move windows, elevator bookings
Peak dates: End-of-month, weekends, summer demand
Heavy or fragile items: Pianos, large sectionals, art, glass
Packing level: Full packing costs more than partial packing
Divine helps keep costs controlled by planning the right crew size, timing, and protection level—so your move stays efficient and damage-free.

How much do movers cost in NYC for a studio, 1BR, or 2BR?
Typical NYC move-only ranges are often around $400–$1,200 for a studio, $600–$1,500 for a 1BR, and $900–$2,000 for a 2BR, depending on stairs/elevator, distance, and complexity. Adding packing and full-service support commonly pushes totals higher.
How much extra does packing cost in NYC?
Packing costs depend on how much you want packed and whether materials are included. Many published estimates cite packing services in the range of a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars based on home size and packing scope.
What’s the most affordable way to get “full service” movers?
Choose partial packing (kitchen + fragile items), schedule off-peak dates when possible, reduce volume before moving, and use a mover that provides a written estimate and efficient crew sizing.
Do NYC buildings require COIs for movers?
Many NYC co-ops, condos, and managed buildings require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and elevator reservations. A professional NYC moving company can coordinate this with management ahead of move day.
Can I combine moving with storage?
Yes. Many NYC clients use “move + storage + delivery” when they’re between leases, renovating, or waiting for a closing. Divine can pick up, store at 550 Barry Street, and redeliver when you’re ready.
