Company information

Rates start at $149 per hour for two movers and a truck. These are not just any movers, either. They are professional, experienced teams and crew leaders. This is Boston Best Rate Movers' offer. These accredited professionals are licensed and insured and ready to help you move. With over two decades of experience under their belt, they can help you with a local or cross-country relocation. Their services are many, ranging from packing to storage solutions. You could even hire them to move one heavy item; it doesn't need to be an entire household. This crew wants to adapt to your needs rather than the other way around.
