Are there movers in Provo who specialize in student moves for universities like Brigham Young University?

Yes, Provo has movers who specialize in student moves. Through the MovingPlace platform, you can compare mover profiles and read through authentic customer reviews to identify moving companies that have experience with moving into dorms and near-campus apartments. This lets you pick local moving companies familiar with campus parking rules, loading and unloading zones, dorm hours, and elevator or stair access.

Where can I get affordable packing supplies in Provo?

You can find affordable packing supplies in Provo at Post Mart, a locally owned business that stocks moving boxes in over 40 sizes, along with bubble wrap, tape and tape guns, and mailing tubes. The city also has two franchise-owned The UPS Store locations that stock a variety of supplies. You may also find free moving boxes through online marketplaces such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

How far in advance do I need to book movers in Provo?

In Provo, most people book 5 days in advance. However, you should try to book as early as possible, especially during peak season, which is June. By following our moving timeline and booking well in advance through the MovingPlace platform, you have access to better pricing and availability from local moving companies. However, if you’re moving during the peak season, which is June in Provo, you might want to book a week or two further in advance.

Do I need to reserve an elevator if I'm moving into or out of a high-rise?

Yes, you likely need to reserve an elevator if your move involves a high-rise. This ensures that you have dedicated access to the elevator and can avoid conflicts with your new neighbors. The moving company won’t handle this task for you, so be sure to talk to the property manager in advance to prevent delays on moving day.

Is a packing service worth it?

Yes, a packing service is worth it, especially if you have a large home, a full schedule, or delicate items to pack. A packing service frees up your schedule and ensures everything is packed securely. Depending on your needs, you can choose to have your entire home packed, or you can select certain rooms at the time of booking.

"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 Provo pay."

How we calculate these numbers

1

Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Provo 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.

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 Provo

In Provo, UT, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $451.03, compared to $1,177.37 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.

Real Experiences From Verified Bookings

Absolute professionals. They were on time and knew their stuff. They worked fast made very efficient use of space and were able to get everything from a 4 bed 3 bath house into one 26’ trailer easily where other movers had quoted me two trailers. Saved me thousands of dollars. 10/10 highly recommend

Movers | Big Boy Movers - Utah

The Big Boy Movers crew were great! They arrived on time and quickly went to work. They unloaded a 16 foot pod and set items in their place within 2 hours as scheduled. They were very careful and made sure not to damage furniture and items and were careful not to damage place. The latter was tricky since they had to go up 2 flights of narrow staircases in the townhouse.

Movers | Timpanogos Moving Company

Big Boy Movers - Utah did an excellent job of helping pack our PODS. The two people on the job arrived a little early, were well-prepared for the move and worked hard throughout the morning. They took care with the furniture and boxes and somehow fit everything into the container. As a bonus, they finished early, as well. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing help with their move.

They were on time and let us know that if we needed them longer (which we did).that they would be available. I felt that they kept us informed and what needed to go in first & then on down the line. These 2 men worked non stop, it really was incredible they were cautious with everything & handled everything with care. Seriously these guys do a phenomenal job & are worth the money and hell yes I would definitely hire them .again

Movers | Affordable Moving LLC

I was so impressed! When I talked to them prior to my move they gave great recommendations and told me exactly what I would need. They worked hard the entire time they were there, were very conscientious of my walls and home when moving furniture out and wrapped everything so well. They loaded my pod like a puzzle. They fit so much in and really maximized the space. Every crack and corner was filled and nothing moved once the doors were closed. I was nervous to hire movers because of a bad experience in the past but they were incredible!!

Movers | New Concept Moving and Storage

The 2 young men we hired started out in a very conscientious manner. They handled our heavy furniture carefully as they removed it from the house. However, they hurried in their efforts to load the truck and several pieces of furniture ended up with a number of scratches. When it came time to unload the truck their first priority was unload the truck as quickly as possible. The great majority of boxes were clearly marked as to which room or area of the house they were to be placed. In most instances the movers simply stacked the boxes in the garage! They achieved their objective, which was to get the job completed as quickly as possible, but they lost the opportunity for 'big boy movers' to ever to another move for us. Keith A., Provo, UT

Movers | Big Boy Movers - Utah

They were late, but they called to let us know that they were stuck in traffic so that was all good. The movers were quick, effective, courteous, and careful with our things. They listened to our instructions and communicated with us well (we are deaf and used paper/pen as a communication tool and they were unfazed by this...which isn’t common for us!). All in all, wonderful workers, great service! We’ll hire them again when we’re ready to have our storage pod unloaded.

— Kathleen R.
