Hourly pricing is the most commonly used pricing model. It’s simple, the company will provide you with an hourly rate and charge you based on the time it takes to complete your move. The more prepared you are, the less it will cost.
In your quote, movers will provide you with an estimated labor time, so they can precisely estimate the final cost.
Services considered in the labor time:
To cover travel time and fuel, movers may charge you for the time it takes them to drive to and from their office. Alternatively, they may charge a pre-established truck fee, which will be based on the distance to be driven and the size of the truck.
Certain services are included in the final price such as: basic insurance (release value protection), moving blankets, moving equipment and sometimes wardrobe boxes.
All moving companies have diverse fee-related policies. Generally, there is an added cost to your moving bill for packing and unloading specialty items. This is due to their fragility, which requires extra protection. It is also due to their weight, which requires more workers. Additionally, they may take up extra space in the truck which could end up requiring an additional truck.
The moving company may charge extra fees for heavy items like sports equipment and appliances. Extra fees may be charged for stairs above the second floor or overnight or storage fees if the move is not finished in one day. Also, fuel fees could apply, especially for longer distances.
There are two types of moving insurance protections: release value protection and full value protection.
Release value protection covers the damages happening in the moving truck and can cover $0.60 per pound of the damaged item. The cost is typically included in the price and there is no deductible.
Whereas, full value protection applies to damage done in the moving truck and in your home. This can cover anywhere between $5 to $10 per pound of the damaged item. Expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars for full value protection and know that there is a deductible and that it will vary.
The Highway Traffic Act obliges the City of Toronto to allow the parking of moving trucks on the street as long as they are loading or unloading. Yet, they must still comply with parking and traffic regulations on the street signs.
If you are parking a moving container, a temporary street occupation permit will be needed to keep the equipment on the road or boulevard.
