Moving Companies in Villanova, PA
What drives a Villanova moving quote
For moves under 100 miles, you pay by the hour for crew and truck; longer moves shift to weight and distance. Common local hourly rates are $110–$160 for two movers plus a truck and $180–$240 for three to four movers, the size often needed in larger Villanova homes. Philadelphia-area reports show $159/hr for a two-mover truck crew and $239/hr for four movers. Labor-only help, useful if you already have a truck or rented container, averages about $84/hr, with Villanova jobs typically landing between $360.42 and $672.01.
Across Pennsylvania, moves generally cost between $476 and $4,224, and the average labor rate is about $128/hr.

How to stay at the low end
- Get a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing; a non-binding estimate can legally rise 10% or more at delivery.
- Parking can add a long-carry fee or shuttle truck on narrow Villanova streets or condo driveways—resolve access before moving day.
- Peak demand pushes hourly rates up 20%–50% at month-end, on weekends, and from May through September. A mid-week, mid-month date helps.
- Free basic carrier liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound $1,000 TV would settle at $12. Ask about Full Value Protection or check your own policy.
- Hazardous materials, propane, paint, bleach, and sometimes potted plants cannot legally go on the truck; move them yourself.
- Tipping is customary at $4–$6 per mover per hour, or 15%–20% of the total bill split among the crew.

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 Delaware County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 17% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
