Student Movers in Tucson

Student moves are billed by the hour based on crew size, like any local move. A two mover crew at $120 to $150 per hour handles most dorm rooms and studio apartments, and a three mover crew at $160 to $200 per hour suits a shared apartment or a house. The truck, pads and equipment are included in the rate, and travel time and fuel are quoted for your job. Most campus area moves are short jobs. We confirm the figure in writing before you book.

As early as you can. Move in and move out weeks in August and May are the busiest periods of the year in this market, because thousands of leases turn over in the same few days. Crews, start times and lift slots in campus area buildings all run out. Four to six weeks ahead is sensible for those weeks, against two to four weeks for a normal local move. Mid week dates are easier to get than the weekend either side of move in.

Yes, and the building rules matter more than the volume does. University housing normally sets move out windows, restricts which entrance and lift you can use, and may require a crew to sign in. Lifts are shared with everyone else moving the same day. Tell us the hall and the floor when you book so the crew arrives with realistic expectations of the carry and the wait, and check with the housing office whether there is a time slot you need to reserve.

Storage between semesters is one of the most common student requests, and the practical questions are how long, how much and who holds it. Tell us the dates and the volume when you book so it is planned once rather than arranged twice. See our storage page, and ask when you call, because the right answer depends on how long the gap is and whether you need access during it.

Yes. A very common student job is a bed, a desk, a dresser and a few boxes, with everything else going in a car. Because the work is hourly, a small job is a short job. Say what the large items are when you book, particularly anything that needs disassembly or will not fit through a standard door assembled, so the crew brings the tools and allows the time.

Have everything boxed, sealed and labelled, strip the bed, and empty drawers of anything loose. Confirm the lift booking or move out slot with your building and check whether a certificate of insurance is required, which many managed apartment buildings near campus do require. Reserve a parking space close to the entrance. Keep your laptop, passport, medication and anything irreplaceable with you rather than on the truck.

Many of them do. Managed buildings in the campus area, along Speedway and through Sam Hughes and Rincon Heights commonly require a certificate of insurance naming the building owner and management company before a moving crew is allowed to work, and some also want specific wording. Ask your building manager what they need and pass it to us with a few days’ notice. Without it, buildings will turn a crew away at the door, and that is a wasted booking in the busiest week of the year.

Yes, and it is more common than you would think around campus. A move within one complex or across the street is usually a short hourly job, though it is rarely as quick as people expect, because two carries and a lift shared with other residents take longer than the distance suggests. It is still billed by the hour with travel time and fuel quoted for the job, and we confirm it in writing beforehand like any other move.
