Add-ons to the hourly rate:
Heavy Lifting and Loading

If your building falls into this category, don’t worry — we will take care of acquiring the required paperwork and filing it on your behalf. Plus, we take extra care to protect the building and its common areas during your move.

Hourly Pricing vs. Flat Rate Pricing
1. Hourly Pricing Might Cost More
While hourly pricing may sound appealing at first, it’s important to keep in mind that this pricing structure can end up costing you more money in the long run.
2. Flat Rate Pricing - Know Everything Upfront
On the other hand, with flat rate pricing, you’re charged one price for the entire move, regardless of how long your move takes or what issues pop up. This means that you will know the total cost of your NYC local move up front, without having to worry about any unexpected charges.
3. Unforeseen Expenses
With hourly pricing, you’re charged for every single minute your moving company is working, which means you could end up paying for NYC traffic snags, elevator delays, and other unforeseen circumstances that are out of your control.
4. Flat Rate Pricing is More Advantageous
When it comes to NYC local moves, we believe flat rate pricing is the best way to ensure a fair price. When you decide on Empire Movers & Storage as your moving company, you can trust that you’re getting experienced professionals at a price that won’t break the bank.

Insurance | COI Process
Insurance | COI Process
- Not all NYC moving companies are created equal. When you’re entrusting your belongings to any company, it’s important to make sure they are insured in case of any damages. All New York licensed moving companies are required to have insurance in order to operate. This includes general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. We recommend that you ask to see a copy of your mover’s insurance certificate before hiring.
- In addition, most NYC apartment buildings require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) in order to move in or out. If your building falls into this category, don’t worry — When you book your NYC move with Empire Movers & Storage, we will take care of everything!
