Real Advice from Charlotte Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Charlotte. (They’re really nice!)

"If you are moving into or out of the Charlotte area between May and August, be sure to check the weather! We get an annual average of 43 inches of rain and it can definitely impact not only your drive, but your load/unload process as well. Be sure to make your truck reservations at least 2 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season, and note that some locations are not open on Sunday! Make sure to also plan your arrival/departure in regards to rush hour traffic. It can make a big difference!"

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Charlotte

Tip 1: Get Familiar with Regulations in Charlotte

Whether you’re moving into an uptown high-rise or a suburban home, knowing Charlotte’s moving regulations ahead of time can save you stress.

Before your moving day, find out if you need to reserve an elevator, where moving trucks can park, and if your HOA has any special rules. A quick check with your property manager or HOA website can help you avoid unexpected fines — or awkward first impressions with your new neighbors.

Bonus Tip: Check Charlotte's Right of Way Use Permits to see if you need permission to park your moving truck on the street.

Tip 2: Lighten Your Load Before the Big Move

Decluttering before your move across Charlotte saves you time and money in the long run — and with plenty of places to donate or recycle your once-loved items, it’s easier than ever. From Goodwill locations across the city to the Metrolina Recycling Center, Charlotte offers plenty of options to give your old items a new home.

Bonus Tip: Local charities like ReStore Habitat for Humanity will pick up larger items from your doorstep.

Tip 3: Avoid the NASCAR Traffic

Avoid moving around major NASCAR events, especially the Bank of America Roval 400 or Coca-Cola 600. Traffic near Charlotte Motor Speedway gets intense on race days. Tune in to local traffic updates or use your GPS to get real-time congestion alerts. If you can’t avoid moving during race weekend, consider hiring a full-service moving company to help navigate the traffic in your stead.

Bonus Tip: Plan your loading and unloading times early in the morning to beat race-day traffic, especially if your route takes you near the Speedway.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Charlotte

The average cost to move in Charlotte is $389. However, your final cost will depend on how many movers you need, how big your place is, the weight of your items, and factors like stairs, elevators, and the distance between parking and your residence.

When it comes to weather, the spring and fall months are very pleasant; when it comes to price, rates are best between October and April. The cheapest month to move is January. Be warned that moving logistics can be complicated by NASCAR events in May and October or hurricane season, which runs from June through November. For those looking to move during popular months like spring or summer, we recommend securing your movers well in advance.

Local moves in Charlotte can take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours, but that estimate depends on depending on how far the move is, how many belongings you have, whether you have extra heavy or delicate furniture, and weather complications. Typically, a studio or one-bedroom apartment takes 3-4 hours, while a three-bedroom home usually requires 6-7 hours. Moving time can also be affected by factors like elevator access, stairs, and distance from parking to your door.

Our HireAHelper full-service moving companies are fully licensed and insured, but licensing varies for labor-only help since it’s not required. When choosing a mover, you can review their insurance credentials right on their profile page for your peace of mind.

While moving costs can vary depending on several factors, stairs typically increase the cost as they require more time and labor. Be sure to mention any stairs or elevator access when getting quotes to receive the most accurate pricing. Don't worry, though—we'll still help you find the movers that fit your budget.
