FlatRate Moving
Our Story
When FlatRate Moving was founded in 1991, we strived to change the way people move. In the process, we wanted to innovate the moving industry. We established the all-included flat rate pricing model in NYC and shifted the way people relocated locally and worldwide. With 160+ agents stationed internationally and nine branches in London and major cities in the U.S., FlatRate is now a leading name in the business with a 5% moving claim rate — beating the industry’s average for 20 years.
Our vision
Providing high-quality service and all-inclusive guaranteed pricing, FlatRate has a visionary strategy when it comes to moving people forward. With our exclusive flat rate, there are never surprise costs, pricing scams or hidden fees — transparency is the essence of our service and our FlatRate formula has been trusted by more than 200,000 customers.

What do I do with my animals?
You want to make sure animals are in their cat/dog carrier prior to the movers arriving.
Animals are curious and can get underfoot. If your dog isn’t good around strangers please
have them tied up or in their carrier. The moving company cannot transport any live animal
no dogs, cats, fish or reptiles are allowed in the truck.
Do I need to be home during the move?
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly
