The Indianapolis metropolitan area continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas of the state. In 2017, this Midwestern city added another 5,500 newcomers to its population of about 863,000. New construction in downtown and nearby Fountain Square and Lockerbie Square is attracting a lot of residents as are the suburbs, including Whitestown, Westfield and McCordsville. All three of those communities recently made the state’s list of fastest-growing communities.
Whether you’re moving to urban or suburban areas of Indianapolis or leaving Indy for a different state, it’s important to understand the factors that can impact moving prices.
One of the best ways to get a discount on professional moving services is to schedule it during non-peak periods, typically from mid-September through April in Indianapolis. However, keep in mind that the best discounts may not be worth a move during December through February when Indianapolis can get unpredictable snow and ice storms.
You also may be able to get a discount on moving fees if you schedule the move during a weekday instead of weekends, when demand is higher for professional moving services.
To get an idea of moving costs to another state, let’s assume that you’re moving to Miami or Denver (about 1,000 miles) from Indianapolis. These fees do not reflect extra services, such as packing or moving heavy items.
Unit | Approximate shipping weight | Basic moving costs |
---|---|---|
Studio apartment | 1,800-2,000 pounds | $1,500 |
1-bed apartment | 2,500-3,500 pounds | $1,800-$2,500 |
2-bed home | 5,000-6,000 pounds | $3,500-$4,200 |
When comparing prices of different movers, make sure you understand variations in pricing. One company may charge $100 an hour for two movers while another may charge $145 for three movers. The possibility of a quicker move with three movers can make the latter arrangement more cost effective.
It’s also important to ask about other fees, such as the additional cost of moving heavier items like a piano or armoire. Some moving companies may charge extra for moving items that must be transported from the basement or upper levels in the house or apartment building.
Since you’re trusting strangers to move your most valued belongings, it’s also important to make sure your movers are following relevant state and federal regulations for commercial transportation companies.
Indianapolis moving companies are regulated by the Indiana Department of Revenue while companies that move across states also are regulated by the federal government.
Finally, make sure the moving company you select has the appropriate worker's compensation insurance and proper licensing for all of their equipment.
