Apartment move across town
1-bedroom move with a truck rental and no storage
A common local move where truck, labor, and packing supplies matter more than mileage.
Result: Even short moves add up once truck rental, loading help, and a basic contingency are included.
Two-bedroom relocation
120-mile rental-truck move with one month of storage
Useful for relocations where handoff timing forces a temporary storage bill into the plan.
Result: Mid-distance moves tend to feel affordable until storage and packing supply costs are layered in.
Full-service family move
480 miles, 3+ bedrooms, full packing
A larger household move where the service level and inventory volume dominate the estimate.
Result: For larger moves, the contingency reserve matters because even small change orders have noticeable dollar impact.
