Where can I get affordable packing supplies in Reno, NV?

At Crown Packaging Corp. on Longley Lane, you’ll find competitively priced boxes and moving supplies. Another excellent option is the Ridgeview Mail Center on Mae Anne Avenue, which offers reasonably priced boxes, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts. For budget-friendly alternatives, look for free packing supplies and used boxes at local grocery and liquor stores, as well as social media giveaways on Facebook Marketplace and Nextdoor.

Which highways or roads should I avoid when driving a moving truck in Reno, NV, during peak hours?

AVOID Interstate 80 between the Spaghetti Bowl and Mt. Rose Junction, downtown Virginia Street, and Plumb Lane during Reno’s peak traffic hours, typically 7:00–8:30 am and 6:00–9:00 pm. These routes often back up quickly, especially when traffic is heavy. Steer clear during these windows to reduce brake wear and keep your moving truck rolling smoothly.

What is the cheapest day to hire movers in Reno, NV?

Hiring a team of movers on a Saturday offers reduced prices due to lower demand. Additionally, securing your booking at least 13 days in advance ensures you have plenty of time to find the best price on the dates you want.

How can movers protect belongings from heat damage during a summer move in Reno, NV?

Movers in Reno may use shaded areas or, in some cases, climate-controlled trucks to reduce exposure to extreme heat. Heat-sensitive items, such as electronics, are wrapped in breathable material, are loaded last to avoid excessive sun exposure, and unloaded first at your new home. You can help by opting for an early-morning move, which ensures cooler, more manageable temperatures.

Can I customize which rooms get packed?

Yes, if you opt to purchase packing services, many moving companies in Reno let you customize which rooms are packed first. This means you can get professional help with just big rooms that tend to have a lot of items, like the kitchen or living room. You can indicate how many rooms you want packed during MovingPlace’s booking process.

"Most cost estimates are based on limited data that doesn't account for timing, location, or move size. Ours are built on years of real moves — so what you see here is actually based on what people in Reno pay."

How we calculate these numbers

1

Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Reno has enough data (at least 10 moves of a given size), that local data is our baseline.

2

Fill gaps with regional context Where local data is thin, we expand to county, then state, then cities with comparable household income levels—so estimates stay market-relevant.

3

Normalize for consistency We apply weighted calculations across categories to prevent a single outlier from skewing what a typical move should cost.

Read the full methodology →

Keep in mind: many factors can affect the actual cost of your move—like the time of year, current demand, number of stairs, heavy items, and more. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific move is to use our simple, 3-step quote tool. You can compare pricing from multiple providers, customize your move, and ultimately book the mover that best fits your needs.

How to Save on Moving in Reno

In Reno, NV, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $436.17, compared to $1,087.90 for a local full-service move, so hiring labor-only movers could save you hundreds of dollars on your move, if you're willing to rent a truck or moving container.

Additionally, MovingPlace's algorithm matches you with the mover that offers the best value for your needs, and our Best Price Guarantee means that you can book with the confidence that you are getting the best deal.

Movers | Daniel Family Movers

We booked a 2 man crew to help load a truck to move out of state. They were polite and very fast- loading everything we needed in less than the 2 hours booked and we still had plenty of room in the truck to finish up. I received a call about 4 hours before the scheduled arrival time as the crew finished another job early, asking if we wanted to move up our time. We also received a text when they were en-route to our house to load. Excellent communication and quick response as I booked on Saturday for a Monday afternoon load.
