What Is a Moving Company Quote?
A moving company quote is a written offer for a household or business move. It connects the pickup and delivery locations with the work, price, and terms, so the customer can see what they are booking.
Use it when you know enough about the inventory, access, and requested services to make an offer. The price may cover a defined move or a stated block of crew time; explain which one you are offering.
How to Create a Moving Company Quote
Have the inventory, locations, and access details ready before you price the move. These steps take you from the customer details to a quote you can review and send.
- Moving Company: Add your business details, logo, and booking contact.
- Customer and Addresses: Add the customer, pickup, delivery, and access details.
- Quote and Move Dates: Add the quote number, issue date, move date, and valid-until date.
- Move Scope: Describe the move size, crew work, distance, and included handling.
- Main Price: Add the fixed, hourly, or volume-based moving charge.
- Extra Services and Terms: Price agreed extras as items. Add move instructions and payment timing in Terms and Conditions.
- Review and Send: Check the addresses, move date, scope, and total, then email the quote or download a PDF.
What to Include in a Moving Company Quote
The details below help you price the actual job. Include what affects the work and explain any assumptions you still need the customer to confirm.
Pickup, Delivery, and Access
Record both addresses and the move date. Stairs, elevator availability, parking distance, and restricted access times can change how long loading and unloading take.
Move Size and Scope
Name the inventory or room count used to price the move, including bulky items that need special handling. If your rate depends on weight or volume, state the quantity and unit.
Labor, Truck, and Time
State how many movers the hourly rate covers, when the clock starts and stops, and any minimum booking. Say whether the truck and travel time are included or charged separately.
Extra Services and Terms
Give agreed packing, storage, or special handling its own item row when it has a separate price. Keep unselected options outside the quoted total and explain any deposit or payment timing your business uses.
Use a Pricing Method That Matches the Move
An hourly rate needs a clear unit. A crew rate covers the whole named crew for one hour; a per-mover rate counts each person's hours. Two movers working four hours would be four crew-hours or eight mover-hours, depending on how you charge.
For a flat price, describe the inventory, route, and access that the price covers. If distance, weight, or volume determines the rate, show the quantity you used. When those details are still uncertain, an estimate can show the expected cost until you have enough information for a specific offer.
Keep optional packing, storage, and special handling outside the total until the customer chooses them. Once agreed, add them as priced item rows so the revised total reflects the work you will provide.
How to Fill In Moving Quote Line Items
Name the unit beside each service so the quantity is easy to follow. Describe work already included in the crew or truck rate there, and give separately priced supplies or services their own rows.
This fictional local move uses a four-hour booking for two movers, with the truck and 20 packing boxes charged separately. The customer packs the boxes before moving day. Prices are in US dollars; the 8% tax on all three items is illustrative. Use the rates and tax treatment that apply to your move.
| QTY | Description | Unit Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Two-mover crew — hours booked for loading and unloading | $150.00 | $600.00 |
| 1 | Moving truck and local transport — one trip, including fuel | $180.00 | $180.00 |
| 20 | Medium packing boxes — each, for customer packing | $3.00 | $60.00 |
| Subtotal | $840.00 | |
| Sales Tax (8% illustrative) | $67.20 | |
| Quote Total | $907.20 |
The $150.00 hourly rate covers both movers together, so the quantity is four, not eight. This offer is for the stated four-hour booking; explain how additional time will be agreed before it is used.
What to Include in Moving Quote Terms
Use Terms and Conditions to connect the price with the move arrangements. State the move date and addresses, the inventory and access you priced, when the offer expires, and when payment is due. Include only policies your business actually uses.
This sample belongs to the four-hour booking above. Replace the placeholders and adapt the scope to your own offer before sending.
Example: Terms and Conditions
- Valid until [date]. Move from [pickup address] to [delivery address] on [move date], with ground-floor access at both locations.
- The price covers four hours of loading and unloading by two movers, one local truck trip including fuel, and 20 medium packing boxes. The customer will pack the boxes before the move.
- The offer is based on the agreed inventory. Additional time, items, or services need a revised price for customer approval before the extra work begins. Payment is due when the booked work is complete.
Set the Move Scope Before Booking
Put the move you have discussed into a clear offer. Docelf calculates the total from your quantities and rates. Review the quote, then email it to the customer.
After You Send the Moving Quote
Check the document history to see whether the emailed quote was delivered and opened. The customer can accept or decline online, and Docelf updates the status and emails you when they respond.
If the inventory, access, locations, or date changes, review the affected charges and terms. Send the revised quote for the customer to accept before you carry out the changed work.
For the next move, reuse saved customer and service details, then check the new quantities and rates. Duplicating a quote creates a new draft with a new number; replace the previous move details before sending.
Moving Quote, Estimate, or Invoice?
Use the document that matches how definite the price is and where you are in the job.
Moving Quote
Use a quote when you are giving the customer a stated price for the move described in the document.
Moving Estimate
Use an estimate when the final charge may change as the actual move becomes clearer.
Invoice
Send an invoice when payment is due, showing the amount due and due date.

Moving Company Quote Template FAQs
-
What is a moving company quote?
A moving company quote is a written offer that shows the move you will handle, how you priced it, and the terms. Include any separately priced services and a valid-until date so the customer knows what they can accept.
-
What should I include in a moving quote?
Include your business and customer details, the pickup and delivery addresses, and the move date. Show the inventory or scope, crew and pricing basis, separately priced services, tax where applicable, and total. Use Terms and Conditions for access arrangements, offer validity, and payment timing.
-
How do I price a moving job?
Use the pricing method your business follows and name the unit next to the rate. For hourly work, say whether the rate covers the whole crew or each mover, and state any minimum booking. For a flat, distance-based, weight-based, or volume-based price, describe the scope or quantity used.
-
Should I include packing and storage separately?
Give agreed packing or storage its own item row when it has a separate price. Keep services the customer has not chosen outside the quoted total. If packing is included in a package, describe it there so it is not charged twice.
-
What access details should I put on the quote?
Include details that affect the work or price, such as stairs, elevator access, parking distance, long carries, and restricted pickup times. Explain the access conditions you used to price the move so the customer can correct anything that differs.
-
What is the difference between a moving quote and an estimate?
A quote sets out a specific offer for a defined move or booking. An estimate shows the expected cost when the inventory, time, or other details are still uncertain. In either document, explain the pricing basis and the scope the amount covers.
-
What should I do if the move changes?
Review the affected charges when the inventory, addresses, access, or date changes. Update the item rows and Terms and Conditions together, then send the revised quote for the customer to accept before the changed work begins.
-
Can I turn an accepted moving quote into an invoice?
Yes. Create an invoice from the quote when it is time to bill. Docelf copies the relevant customer, item, and price details. Check them against the agreed move and add the invoice due date before sending.
-
Can I email or download a moving quote?
Yes. Email the quote directly from Docelf or download a PDF. Your customer can view, download, and accept or decline an emailed quote without a Docelf account. Saving or editing the quote does not email it; you choose when to send.
