What Movers Charge in Covington
A 2-mover crew with a truck runs $100 to $175 an hour and suits a smaller apartment or a one-to-two-bedroom home. A 3-mover crew runs $150 to $250 an hour and speeds up larger 3 to 4-bedroom jobs.
Fees and Traps to Watch For
- An unusually low hourly quote can mean a slower crew or hidden add-on fees at the end. Ask whether that number already covers truck and gas costs or whether those come separately.
- Georgia law caps standard valuation coverage at $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV worth $1,000 that gets dropped nets only $18 unless you buy full value protection.
- The hourly clock typically runs continuously from arrival at your old address until the last item is unloaded at the new one, including drive time between the two, so have everything boxed and ready before the crew arrives.
- Reserve a clear parking spot or elevator ahead of time. If the truck has to park far from the door, that extra carrying time adds to your bill.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Newton County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 33% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
