How the route estimate works
Moving Company HQ blends origin and destination cost ranges, then adjusts for route distance, drive time, and whether the move is local, regional, or intrastate long-distance.
The 2 bedroom benchmark assumes about 800 cubic feet, 5,600 pounds, 3 movers, and roughly 7 labor hours.
Treat the estimate as a planning range, not a binding quote. Packing, bulky items, storage, valuation coverage, stairs, elevators, and building rules can change the final price.
