Moving Companies in Georgetown, DE
Hourly rates in the Georgetown area average $145 to $207 or more per hour depending on crew size. Totals scale with home size: a studio runs $500 to $600, a one-bedroom runs $700 to $900, a two-bedroom runs $1,200 to $1,500, and a three-or-more bedroom home can run $2,500 up to $5,700 or more for a full day or multi-truck job. If you just need labor to load or unload a truck you already have, expect around $72 per hour per worker.
A quick checklist before you book:
- Movers legally can't transport certain items — propane tanks, aerosol cans, and some plants among them — so plan to move those yourself.
- Confirm whether stairs, a piano, or a safe are already factored into your quote, since these often trigger add-on charges if disclosed late.
- Ask about the travel fee or fuel surcharge covering the drive from the company's base to your address, so it's not a surprise on the final invoice.
- Be fully packed and ready before the crew arrives — the hourly clock runs regardless of whether you're still boxing things up.
- Keep a first-night box of medications, chargers, and essentials in your own car rather than on the truck.
Standard valuation coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a $1,000 TV weighing 20 pounds is worth just $12 if it breaks — worth knowing before moving day. Tipping is customary too, generally $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day job. The mover directory below is the next place to check for actual quotes.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Sussex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 49% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
