Yes. Cheap Moving NY is fully licensed and insured, and operates in compliance with both U.S. DOT and NYC DOT regulations.

Absolutely. We provide Certificates of Insurance (COIs) free of charge for as many locations as your building or property management requires.

A fixed-rate move is based on the inventory you provide, the logistics of the move, and your selected moving date. Once these details are reviewed, your moving consultant will provide a transparent, all-inclusive quote.
Your fixed rate will not change unless the details of your move change, such as adding items, changing locations, or rescheduling your move.
The biggest advantage of a fixed-rate move is knowing your total cost upfront and avoiding unexpected charges on moving day.

Fixed-rate quotes do not include:
Gratuity for the moving crew
Moving items that were not included in the original inventory
Packing materials and packing services (unless added to your move)
If you have any questions about your quote, your dedicated moving consultant will be happy to explain everything in detail.

Yes. Our movers carefully protect all non-boxed items, including TVs, mirrors, dressers, mattresses, lamps, and other furniture. We use thick moving blankets, stretch wrap, and protective cardboard to help prevent damage during transport. This protection is included in every move at no additional cost.

Yes. We disassemble and reassemble most standard furniture at no extra charge, including basic bed frames (non-storage beds), sofas, desks, and tables that require minimal assembly. More complex furniture may require additional labor and could be subject to a handling fee. Please let your moving consultant know about any specialty or oversized furniture when booking your move.

As required by the Department of Transportation, all moves include basic valuation coverage of $0.60 per pound per damaged item. If you would like additional protection, our moving consultants can recommend trusted third-party insurance providers that offer more comprehensive coverage.

For most dates, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance. If you're planning to move during peak periods, such as the beginning or end of the month, booking 3–4 weeks ahead can help secure availability and the best rates.
We can often accommodate next-day moves, and in some cases even same-day moves, depending on availability.

Yes. We operate seven days a week, including weekends and national holidays, so we're available whenever you need us.

While tipping is always optional, a common guideline is 15–20% of the total moving cost for exceptional service. Tips are typically divided equally among the crew members. You're welcome to tip any amount you feel is appropriate based on your experience.

A little preparation goes a long way. We recommend:
Providing a detailed inventory to your moving consultant.
Decluttering and donating, selling, or disposing of items you no longer need.
Emptying furniture and packing all belongings into sealed boxes (unless you've purchased packing services).

No. We do not expect customers to secure parking for our trucks. However, if you're able to reserve a nearby parking space, it can help the move go more quickly and efficiently.
