How much does it cost to move to Savannah?

Across 35 priced reviews, the median for a move into Savannah is $5,655. Moves that stay inside Georgia do not have enough priced reviews for a median. Treat the inbound median as a benchmark, then price your own inventory.

How much does it cost to move out of Savannah?

Across 17 priced reviews, the median for a move out of Savannah is $4,280. People leaving most often go to Jackson, TN; Atlanta, GA; Alton Bay, NH. A move that crosses the state line is interstate and falls under USDOT and FMCSA rules.

When should I book a Savannah move?

Reviews cluster in Jul, Aug, Apr and thin out in Mar, Feb, Jun. Those months mark when reviews were posted, usually a few weeks after the move. Ask for dates earlier if your move falls near the busy cluster.

What should I tell a mover before the quote?

Reviews do not name one access problem often enough, which is what no single access problem records. 30.2% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 3.36. State any stairs, long carry, or item you will not ship before the quote is locked.

Moving to Savannah

Across 35 priced reviews of those arrivals, the median is $5,655.

Origins and the inbound bill. People moving to Savannah most often come from Dabolt, KY; Denver, CO; Phoenix, AZ. Across 35 priced reviews of those arrivals, the median is $5,655. Moves that stay inside Georgia have too few priced reviews for a median, so this page does not quote one. A cost calculator is the place to test your own inventory against that inbound figure.

How Savannah prices sit. BEA price parity for the Savannah metro in 2024 is 95.2, with Georgia at 96.3 and the US set at 100. That is a modest gap under the national index, and it sits next to the move bill, not inside it. The truck price and the cost of living are different numbers. Read both before you decide if the move or stay math still works.

What reviewers paid, Savannah. A median needs 10 priced reviews. Reviews dated 2017 to 3 Nov 2026.

Moving out of Savannah

Reviews cluster in Jul, Aug, Apr and thin out in Mar, Feb, Jun.

Where outbound moves go. People leaving Savannah most often head for Jackson, TN; Atlanta, GA; Alton Bay, NH. Across 17 priced reviews, the median leaving cost is $4,280, below the inbound median on this page. A move that leaves Georgia is interstate, so federal rules from USDOT and FMCSA apply, while a move that stays in Georgia follows the state page. Check a carrier on the license lookup before you wire a deposit.

When reviews pile up. Reviews cluster in Jul, Aug, Apr and thin out in Mar, Feb, Jun. That timing is when reviews were posted, usually a few weeks after the move, so treat it as a lagging hint about demand, not a promise about truck availability. Book the busy window earlier than a quiet one, and read the line items before you sign. A short guide on how to read an estimate helps with that.

What makes a Savannah move harder

Reviews do not name one access problem often enough to rank, so no single access problem is the honest summary.

Access, or the lack of a pattern. Reviews do not name one access problem often enough to rank, so no single access problem is the honest summary. That does not mean stairs, long carries, or tight parking never happen. It means this file will not pretend a single obstacle dominates Savannah. Tell the mover about any stairs, elevator, shuttle, or long walk before the quote, or the number will move later.

Damage and the rating. 30.2% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 3.36. The rating is a mean, the move prices elsewhere on this page are medians, and the two should not be mixed. Before the quote, tell the mover about access, inventory, and any item you will not ship. Those three details move the price more than a city name does.

What a moving crew earns around Savannah

Half of the hand movers in the Savannah, GA area earn less than $18.39 an hour (US: $19.35); truck drivers, $28.33. An hourly quote for a crew pays two or three of them, plus the truck, fuel, insurance, and the company's margin, so the rate per mover is usually two to three times the wage. A rate near the wage itself means someone is not insured or not paid.

US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025: 53-7062 Laborers and freight, stock, and material movers, hand (7,810 jobs in the area); 53-3032 Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers. The occupation includes warehouse work, not only moving crews. BLS wage data
