Hire Movers in
Illinois

Nope—you stay in control. Unlike traditional aggregator sites, MovingPlace doesn’t sell your information or send it out to a bunch of movers. Instead, you get real pricing from licensed, vetted professionals on our platform—and you choose who to book. No spam, no pressure, just a better way to move.

Packing is not included by default in a local-full service move. Full-service movers will typically do basic furniture disassembly and protect your larger items when they move them into the truck, but won’t pack your items in boxes unless you choose “packing” as an additional service you would like to add to your move.

All movers (aka "Moving Service Providers") that offer full-service moving on the MovingPlace platform are fully licensed for full-service moves and carry commercial liability coverage. Every MovingPlace order also includes our Standard Repair Coverage, which protects your items at $0.60 per pound, up to $10,000.

You can purchase an optional coverage called “SmartProtection™”, which protects your items from accidental damage during loading or unloading, with three different tiers of coverage available.

Your card will be authorized (not charged) for the full amount 48 hours before your move. That means the payment is pending but hasn’t gone through yet. The charge is only completed once your move is finished. If you’re booking a last-minute move (like one scheduled for tomorrow) your card will be authorized right after booking.

Cancel at no charge up to 48 hours before your job start time. If you cancel after that within 24 hours of your move, your Moving Service Provider will charge for 2 hours at the rate you booked. Canceling within 1 hour before the job will result in your Moving Service Provider charging you the full price of the move
