Best Movers in Minneapolis, MN (2026 Ranking) FAQs

Who is the best mover in Minneapolis, MN?
Mint Moving is our pick for Minneapolis. They match public Minnesota licenses and run owner estimates. Maps 5.0 from 416. USDOT 3515957, MnDOT 383876. Quote 5-Star for high-volume named crews, The Move Crew for Northeast, and Minnē for a published hourly menu.
Who else should I quote in Minneapolis?
Quote 5-Star for high-volume named crews (Maps 5.0 from 2,633 at Cambridge St) and still compare the written estimate. Quote The Move Crew for Northeast Broadway jobs. Quote Minnē for a published hourly: $85 per mover weekday, $95 weekends, Medium Job 2 Bedroom Home $1,806.75.
How does Moving Company HQ rank Minneapolis movers?
Licenses are a gate (active USDOT, MC if interstate is claimed, and MnDOT OFCVO Household Goods on the same legal name; Maps pin is that entity). We pick the order among licensed movers. Each card still shows the mean of five Maps bars: care, on-time, quote-matched, friendly, easy-to-reach. Companies cannot buy a rank.
Do I need a Minnesota household-goods permit to hire a local mover?
Intrastate household-goods work in Minnesota requires a Household Goods Mover Permit from MnDOT OFCVO (Minn. 221.121). A For Hire Property Carrier certificate is not that permit. Look up the legal name on OFCVO and re-check SAFER.
What is Minnesota cargo valuation on an in-state move?
Rules 7800.2100: unless the shipper releases the shipment to 60 cents per pound per article, the carrier's maximum liability is the lump-sum declared value or $1.25 times the shipment weight, whichever is greater. Cite the rule, not a FAQ insurance dollar.
Are Bloomington, Edina, or Plymouth separate city guides?
The Minnesota city guides here are Minneapolis, St. Paul, and St. Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, and Edina are not city pages. Louis, Missouri is not a Twin Cities spoke.
