Looking for flat rate movers who won’t break the bank? At Best Montgomery Movers, we offer transparent, all-inclusive flat rate moving packages designed to fit tight budgets without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment, a two-bedroom house, or even a small office, our flat rate pricing ensures you know exactly what you’ll pay—no surprises, no hidden fees, and no unexpected add‑ons.
A flat rate move means you pay one predetermined price for the entire relocation, regardless of how long it takes or the number of miles traveled (within our local service area). Unlike hourly billing—where labor hours, traffic delays, and extra stops can quickly inflate the cost—flat rate pricing gives you peace of mind and helps you stay on budget.
Single, Upfront Price: One comprehensive quote covers labor, truck, fuel, and standard supplies.
No Hidden Fees: Parking permits, mileage (within Montgomery city limits), and basic equipment are all included.
Simple Billing: You pay the agreed-upon flat rate when the move is complete—no hourly calculations or surprise charges.
Budget-Friendly: Our streamlined processes and experienced crews work efficiently, keeping your cost low.
Guaranteed Pricing Transparency
We provide a detailed written estimate after a free in‑home (or virtual) walkthrough, clearly listing every service and cost component.
There are no extra charges for traffic delays, stopoffs, or multi‑point pickups/drops within Montgomery.
Efficient, Experienced Crews
Our movers are trained to plan routes, load systematically, and use best practices for packing and protecting your belongings—all of which minimize time and reduce overhead.
Flat rate moves incentivize us to complete your move promptly, without cutting corners on care or safety.
High‑Quality Service at a Low Cost
Even with our budget‑friendly rate, we use moving blankets, straps, floor runners, and corner guards to safeguard floors, walls, and furniture.
All movers are background‑checked, uniformed, and fully trained in residential moving best practices.
No Surprises on Moving Day
With hourly billing, every minute adds dollars to your total. But with our flat rate, you know the number up front. Traffic jams, loading delays, or a few extra trips up the stairs won’t change your final bill (unless you request add‑ons).
Perfect for Local Moves
Our flat rate service applies to moves within a 20‑mile radius of Montgomery city center (including Prattville, Millbrook, Emerald Mountain, Blue Ridge, and Hayneville). Longer distances may require a different quote, but we’ll still be upfront about any extra charges.

Prepare for Moving Day
Clear pathways, disassemble any small DIY‑style furniture you can (IKEA‑type bookcases, TV stands), and label any fragile boxes you pack yourself. Our crew will handle the rest.
Enjoy a Stress‑Free Flat Rate Move
On move day, our uniformed team arrives punctually, completes the relocation per your custom plan, and ensures all items arrive damage‑free. You pay one flat rate at the end—no calculating time, no guessing totals.
Q: How do I know if a flat rate move is cheaper than hourly?
A: If your move is expected to take more than 3 hours with two or more movers (typical for most two‑bedroom homes), a flat rate is almost always more cost‑effective. We calculate the flat rate based on similar jobs’ average labor times, so you benefit if traffic, stair carries, or heavy items arise.
Q: What happens if my inventory changes after I get the quote?
A: We ask that you finalize major changes (adding a piano or extra bedroom) at least 48 hours before your move. If you add or remove large items within 24 hours of moving day, we may adjust your flat rate slightly—always with your approval beforehand.
Q: Are parking and elevator fees covered?
A: For most apartment complexes and gated communities within Montgomery city limits, standard parking and elevator access are covered under our flat rate. If a building requires special permits (e.g., a reserved loading dock time slot or oversized truck permit), those permit fees (typically $25–$50) are billed separately.
Q: What liability protection do I get with a flat rate move?
A: Basic valuation coverage (up to $0.60 per pound per article) is included at no extra cost. If you own high-value items—artwork, antiques, or electronic servers—you can purchase full-value protection at $2 per $100 of declared value.
Q: Can I add packing services on moving day?
A: Yes. If you decide last‑minute that you’d like our team to pack dishes, electronics, or other fragile items, we can provide our standard packing rate of $150 per room (minimum two rooms). Let your driver know when they arrive, and they’ll adjust your invoice accordingly.
Q: How far in advance should I book a flat rate move?
A: Flat rate moves are popular, especially during spring and summer. We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and crew. For off‑peak seasons (late fall and winter), 1–2 weeks’ notice may suffice.
“We booked the two‑bedroom flat rate package, and it was such a relief knowing exactly what we’d pay. The crew arrived on time, handled my grandmother’s antiques with care, and got us moved under budget. No hidden fees—exactly what I wanted.”
— Sarah K., Millbrook

“I thought a flat rate would be risky, but they stuck to the quote even though city traffic made loading take longer than expected. It was so nice to not worry about the clock.”
— Jessica T., Downtown Prattville
