Which moving quote is really the cheapest?

Most moving calculators guess a price from your zip codes and home size, then ask for your phone number so movers can call you. This page does the job after that: you already have the quotes, and you want to know which one is really cheapest.

That is harder than it looks. One company quotes a low base price and adds packing, insurance and a stairs fee. Another quotes everything in one number. A truck rental looks cheapest until the fuel goes in. Put each quote in its parts and the page adds them the same way every time, so the prices finally line up.

The cheapest mover isn't always the best deal once you look at the reviews. Give each company a rating from 1 to 5 based on its reviews, and the page divides each all-in price by that rating to find the best value. A cheap company with poor reviews can turn out to be a worse deal than a slightly more expensive one with good reviews, and broken belongings or surprise charges on moving day can cost more than you saved.

Nothing here leaves this tab. There is no form, no account and no mover on the other end. Your quotes are saved in this browser's local storage so they are still there next time.

Questions this tool gets asked

What does all-in mean?
The base price plus packing, insurance or valuation, and extra fees such as stairs, a long carry or fuel. That is what the move really costs. Two quotes with the same base price can end up hundreds apart once those are added.
Why is the deposit not added on top?
Because the deposit is part of the price, paid early. It holds your date and comes off what you owe on moving day. The page shows the all-in cost and, separately, what is left to pay after the deposit.
How is best value worked out?
The all-in cost divided by the rating you give the company, from 1 to 5, using its reviews. The lowest price per star is the best value. A cheap company with poor reviews can lose to a slightly more expensive one with great reviews. A quote with no rating is not scored for best value, but it can still be the cheapest.
Do I have to give my phone number or email?
No. This page does not ask for anything about you and sends nothing to any mover. It compares the quotes you already have. Your quotes are saved in this browser's local storage so they are still there next time.
What if a quote has no base price?
It shows Need price and is left out of the comparison until you add one. Some movers quote packing or insurance before the main price; fill those in and add the base when it arrives.
Is the cheapest quote the one to take?
Not always. Check what each quote actually includes, whether the estimate is binding, and how the company is reviewed. This page makes the prices comparable; the choice is still yours.
