What a local move costs in Edmonton
The middle local move in Edmonton came to $745. Half cost less than that, and the middle half fell between $473 and $1,188.
That move billed 4.13 hours with a crew of 2, which is what the hourly rate above adds up to on a real day.
Read the smallest rows with their counts beside them. A middle taken over a few dozen jobs moves with the jobs, and we publish it as measured rather than smoothing it.
Figures from 605 local moves in Edmonton, updated September 1, 2026. Medians and quartiles of what we invoiced, tax in, never averages. A local move is one whose pickup and at least one drop-off are both in Edmonton.
| Home size | Middle move | Middle half fell between | Moves measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | Middle move $663 | Middle half fell between $469 to $936 | Moves measured 163 |

Overnight Last Minute Moves in Edmonton
Last minute moving at the end of the month does not have to mean “no options left.” Because our crews work around the clock in Edmonton, we can often fit in urgent moves outside normal hours, including night moves when the schedule is packed. That flexibility gives you a real chance to meet your move-out deadline, even when other companies are full. Call us to talk through the details, any limits from your building, and the times we still have open.
