Most local moves in Edmonton with The Squad Movers cost between $350 and $1,000. A one-bedroom apartment usually lands at the low end; a full family home at the high end. Below is exactly what affects your price, and how to keep it down without hiring a crew you’ll regret.

Hourly vs. Flat-Rate Movers in Edmonton
We charge by the hour for local moves, with a 3-hour minimum. Hourly pricing is usually the cheapest option for smaller, well-prepared moves, because you only pay for the time the job actually takes.
We also offer flat-rate moves. You get one fixed price up front, so the total doesn’t change if the move takes longer than expected. Many people prefer this for larger homes. Ask for a flat-rate quote when you contact us.
What Makes a Move Cost More (or Less)
- Size of the move: more rooms and furniture means more time.
- Crew size: most local moves use a 2–3 person crew; bigger homes may need more.
- Distance: local Edmonton moves are priced differently from moves to Calgary or Fort McMurray.
- Extras: packing and unpacking and heavy specialty items add time. Furniture assembly is included at no extra charge.
- Time of year: summer and month-end are the busiest times in Edmonton.
How to Keep Your Moving Cost Down
- Book early, especially for summer or the end of the month.
- Pack boxes yourself before the crew arrives.
- Take apart beds and small furniture ahead of time, or ask us to do it for you.
- Get rid of things you don’t need before moving day.
- Reserve your building’s elevator and a parking spot close to the door.
Why the Cheapest Quote Isn’t Always the Cheapest Move
A very low quote from an unproven mover can cost more once damage, delays, or surprise fees are added. Before you book any Edmonton moving company, check that they have real Google reviews and explain their pricing in writing. The Squad Movers has 105+ five-star Google reviews (4.9 average).
