Common questions

Moving in metro Atlanta — quick answers

How much does a local move in metro Atlanta cost?

LIOO Moving charges flat hourly rates: a two-mover crew and truck start at $160/hr, $200/hr for three movers, and $240/hr for four, with dollies, pads, and straps included and your quote in writing up front. A typical 1–2 bedroom move runs roughly $480–$1,200 and a 3–4 bedroom move roughly $1,200–$2,400, depending on access and distance — with no hidden fees.

Do Atlanta high-rise and apartment buildings require a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?

Most managed high-rise and mid-rise buildings in Midtown, Buckhead, Downtown, and the Perimeter require a COI naming the property before movers can use the freight elevator or loading dock — often 24 to 48 hours ahead. Our crews provide it for free.

Which areas around Atlanta does LIOO Moving serve?

We cover metro Atlanta across Fulton, Gwinnett, Forsyth, DeKalb, Fayette, Cobb, Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, and Henry counties — from Johns Creek and Roswell to Peachtree City, Lawrenceville, Cumming, and Douglasville.

When is the cheapest time to book a move in Atlanta?

Mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) and the middle of the month are quietest and easiest to book. The last weekend of the month and the deep-summer peak are busiest and priciest.
