“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 Short Pump pay.”

How we calculate these numbers
1
Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Short Pump 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 Short Pump

In Short Pump, VA, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $426.35, compared to $1,099.67 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.

The crew was very polite, super helpful, and worked quickly. They could not have been any nicer and offered a calm and professional demeanor that we really appreciated during a chaotic moving day. Due to impending severe weather, they reached out to flex the schedule to get us in a full day early. Amazing. Thank you so much!

Andre and Romelo (not sure if I am spelling his name correctly) were great. They arrived on time . Then they took the time to see what needed to be moved, and viewed the space where my furniture needed to be temporarily stored. They proceeded to get everything in the space with room to spare, I was amazed at how efficient they were. Both are extremely hard working, polite and respectful of my furniture. I would use this team again.

Movers | Rent The Help

I recently hired On the Go Moving LLC to unload my moving truck, and I could not be more impressed! Were they on time? Absolutely. Dante, the young man who communicated with me on moving day, even offered to arrive earlier than scheduled (though my own schedule couldn’t accommodate). Their punctuality and flexibility stood out immediately. Were they prepared? Yes. From the start, they came ready to work, organized, and clear about what needed to be done. Dante also shared helpful information about their company, which made me feel confident I was in good hands. Did they work hard? Without a doubt. They moved efficiently and handled everything with great energy. I never once felt like they were cutting corners. Were they respectful of property/goods? Extremely. They were careful with all of my items and ensured nothing was damaged in the process. Professionalism was top-notch. Would I use them again? 100% yes. In fact, I’d recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers in the area. A special thank-you to Wayne, who handled scheduling so smoothly, and to Dante, a hardworking 21-year-old young Black man with professionalism well beyond his years. I forget the other young man's name, but their teamwork and customer service made this part of my move stress-free. If you want movers who are punctual, hardworking, and professional, On the Go Moving LLC is the way to go!

— Bill R.

Movers | On the Go Moving LLC.

Due to tight space in the driveway, the POD was placed in a parking lot and it was a long walk to get the stuff into the town house that has three floors. The workers arrived on said time, though they did not carry any carts to bring the stuff from parking lot to the main gate, both guys worked very hard to move the stuff from POD to the 3 floors in the townhouse. Both were respectful and carried over the boxes and the heavy items to respective floors. Appreciate both of them very much and would use them again when needed.

— Hemant S.

Movers | On the Go Moving LLC.

After I made 2 calls, they arrived 7 minutes at the end of the hour window. They needed to get back to the previous job so were fast. Too fast. Stacked all the boxes in one room most upside down, left mattresses fallen over, and dropped the bedroom dresser, causing damage. Not super happy but they were better than the departure help so gave them 4 stars.

— Diane R.
