Annapolis has a few quirks on top of standard Maryland moving pricing that are worth knowing before you book.

  • Local hourly rates run $120 to $200+ for a two-to-three mover crew and a truck; labor-only help, if you already have a truck or container, runs closer to $75 to $100 per hour.
  • By home size: a one-bedroom runs $400 to $900, a two-bedroom averages around $1,400 (roughly $1,000 to $1,800), and a three-bedroom-plus can reach $1,800 to $3,500 or more.
  • Downtown, Eastport, and the historic district have narrow streets and strict parking rules - a truck blocking a road without a permit can be ticketed or towed, so flag this with your mover and your HOA ahead of time.
  • Expect a travel fee equal to roughly one to two hours of labor, covering the crew's drive from their base to your door and back.
  • Insist on a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing rather than a verbal quote, so the price legally cannot climb past that ceiling on moving day.

Use these ranges as a baseline, then check the movers listed below for current Annapolis-area quotes.

Tony and Duke made themselves available within 2 hours of my initial call. They made the process of moving my Mom’s furniture out of her memory care residence a breeze!

This has been the best expire we have ever had with a moving company. They were professional, on time, right at their estimate. They share all costs up front and at the end of the move. I would use them again without hesitation.

These movers are AMAZING. We moved my mom into assisted-living this week. Without Chessie I wouldn’t have survived; they made the process so much easier. They completely set up her apartment, taking Care to keep it as close to her original place as possible. When my mom walked in, she had tears in h...

Households arriving from another state report $90,581 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Maryland report $78,633. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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 Anne Arundel County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
