Moving Costs Near Kirkwood
How much do local movers charge?
Crews in this part of New Castle County average about $150 an hour for two movers and a truck. A full local move typically lands between $500 and $1,500, depending on how much you own.
What about moving out of state?
Long-distance jobs are priced by weight and distance instead of by the hour, and can run from $2,000 up to $7,300 or more. Renting your own container or truck and hiring loading labor only can bring that down to $160 to $800.
What tricks should I watch for?
- Travel fee: many crews bill for drive time to and from their warehouse, often adding an hour or two before work even starts
- Binding estimate: get one in writing, since a non-binding quote can legally rise once the job starts
- Thin coverage: standard liability pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 50-pound TV worth $1,000 nets just $30 if it breaks
- Timing: weekends, month-end dates and summer bookings typically cost more than a mid-week, mid-month move

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 New Castle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
