Moving Companies in Montpelier, VT
Local movers in Montpelier typically charge $150–$200 per hour for a 2-to-3 person crew with a truck. If you just need labor to load or unload a rental truck or POD, hourly rates drop to about $80–$100 per worker.
What a Move Typically Costs
- Small apartment, labor-only: $350–$800
- Small apartment, full service: $900+
- Larger multi-room home: $1,500–$6,700+
Almost every local company enforces a 2-to-3 hour minimum charge, even for a short job, and moving between May and September or right at the start or end of a month can add a 20–30% premium on top of standard rates.
Local Factors That Affect Price
Montpelier's mud season can leave rural or unpaved driveways impassable for a full-size truck, sometimes requiring a smaller shuttle vehicle at extra cost. Older homes with narrow staircases and low clearance can also slow a job down, and if the crew has to carry items a long distance from where they can legally park, expect an added access or carry fee. Get an in-home or video walkthrough and a binding, not-to-exceed estimate rather than a phone guess, so the price cannot rise on moving day.

Montpelier refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.49 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.47), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $82,810 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Vermont report $66,443. 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 Washington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 53% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
