Moving Companies in York, PA
Take a few minutes to study the mover cards below before calling around; the licence status, insurance badge, and review count on each card can help you build a shortlist.
How to read each mover card
The licence status shows whether a mover holds the operating authority needed for local or long-distance work in York. An insurance badge is a prompt to ask about full-value protection, since the standard liability included by law is minimal at 60 cents per pound per item. Review count reflects how many past customers left feedback, so weigh it alongside the rating rather than relying on either by itself.
For a local move under 100 miles in York, total costs land between $472 and $3,497. Standard hourly labour rates in Pennsylvania usually run from $110 to $150 or more for a two-to-three-person crew with a truck, and per-crew-member quotes are also listed from $144 to $396. A studio or one-bedroom local move often runs $300 to $650, a two-bedroom $600 to $950, and a three-to-four-bedroom $1,300 to $2,350 or higher. Long-distance moves of 100 miles or more average $3,200 to $4,400 for a mid-sized home, driven mainly by weight and distance.
On hourly jobs, ask whether the clock starts when the crew leaves the depot and ends when it returns, not just the time at your door. If your street or building has tight access, confirm whether a shuttle fee could apply. Also ask for a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after a video walkthrough so the final bill cannot surprise you, and check whether your own insurance covers items in transit.

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 York County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
