Hoboken movers
Reliable movers in Hoboken
Hoboken packs a lot into its mile square: brownstone floor-throughs on the tree-lined blocks near Hudson Street, fourth-floor walk-ups in Midtown and the Southwest, and elevator condos along the waterfront. We drive in from Brooklyn through the Holland Tunnel and are usually on your block in 40–60 minutes.
Most blocks are resident permit parking with cars on both sides, and the streets around Hoboken Terminal fill with PATH, train and ferry traffic at rush hour. We plan the stop before the truck leaves. Text (212) 555-0142 or start a chat and we'll answer in under a minute.
Quick answer
How much does a Hoboken move cost?
A Hoboken studio walk-up usually costs $495–$750, a 1-bedroom $650–$1,100 and a 2-bedroom $1,100–$1,900, at $165 an hour for two movers and a truck with a 3-hour minimum. Stairs are the big factor: most Hoboken apartments are walk-ups, and a fourth-floor floor-through takes longer than a waterfront elevator building. Tunnel tolls for New York moves are written into the quote. Send photos or a short video and we'll put the price in writing.

Why choose us
Why Hoboken picks Example crews
-
Walk-up specialists
Narrow Hoboken stairwells with tight turns at every landing are routine for us. We measure big pieces first and take legs and doors off when we need to.
-
A parking plan before the day
Parking is the hardest part of a Hoboken move. We check your block, your building's rules and the best arrival time so the crew isn't circling on the clock.
-
Small moves welcome
A lot of Hoboken moves are studios and 1-bedrooms. Our studio and man-with-a-van options keep small jobs at a fair price.
Real reviews
Trusted across Hoboken
The elevator in our building broke the morning of the move. The crew just carried everything down six flights, joked the whole way and never once made us feel bad about it.
We got a text at 7:40 saying the crew was ten minutes out, and they rang the bell at 7:52. Our 2-bedroom on the 4th floor was empty by noon, and they still rebuilt the bed frame at the new place before leaving.
They quoted 3 to 4 hours for my studio, it took 3½, and the bill was exactly 3½ hours at the rate they gave me. No stair fee, no fuel charge, no mystery materials line. I’ve moved four times in this city and that’s a first.

Job story2-Bedroom Walk-Up Move: Park Slope → Hoboken
Mia and her partner were leaving a 4th-floor walk-up in a Park Slope brownstone for a 2-bedroom on the 3rd floor of a Hoboken row house, a few blocks from the PATH. They booked three weeks ahead for the last Saturday in August, one of the busiest moving days of the year, and packed nearly everything themselves. We quoted 7 to 8 hours with 3 movers, plus the tolls, and planned the parking at the Hoboken end before the day.
Job storyUpright Piano Move: Harlem → Williamsburg
Ruth was moving her family’s upright piano, about 500 pounds and older than she is, from her mother’s Harlem brownstone to her own apartment on the 3rd floor of a Williamsburg walk-up. The pickup meant carrying it down a brownstone stoop; the drop-off was three flights up a narrow stair with one tight turn. Marcus, our crew lead for piano jobs, looked over a video of the Williamsburg stairwell before we quoted, and we agreed a fixed price for the job.
Job storyStudio Move: Upper West Side → Astoria
Noah messaged us late on a Monday night: his new Astoria lease had started and he needed to be out of his Upper West Side studio by the end of the week. We had a Thursday morning opening. The pickup was a 9th-floor studio in a doorman building with a service elevator; the drop-off was the 2nd floor of a two-family house in Astoria. We quoted 3 to 4 hours at $165 an hour, and it came in at 3½.

Yes, every block from Downtown near the terminal to Uptown and the Southwest. We usually reach Hoboken in 40–60 minutes from our Brooklyn base.
How long does a typical Hoboken move take?
A studio or 1-bedroom walk-up usually takes 3–5 hours. Moves to or from New York add the tunnel drive, which is built into the quote.
Where will the truck park?
Most blocks are resident permit parking, so we check your block's and your building's rules before the day and tell you if anything needs arranging. We also pick an arrival time when the curb is easiest.
Can you handle a fifth-floor walk-up?
Yes. Tell us the floor when you ask for a quote; it decides how many movers we send and keeps the price honest.
Is a move from New York to Hoboken an interstate move?
Yes. It crosses a state line, so we run it under our USDOT registration, with the same hourly rate and the toll written into the quote.
