Where Burbank Moves Get Expensive
For a local move under 50 miles, most crews charge $150 to $200 per hour for two movers and one truck. That base rate is only part of the story; the gaps below are where quotes in Burbank tend to shift.
Travel Charges
Many companies add a flat travel-time charge of 1 to 2 hours for the round trip from the depot to your home and back. Ask whether the quote already includes that charge or whether it will be added on top of the loaded hourly rate.
Hour Minimums and Home Size
Local estimates tend to scale by bedroom count: a studio or one-bedroom runs $300 to $600, a two-bedroom $700 to $1,400, a three-bedroom $1,000 to $2,000, and a four-bedroom or larger $1,500 to $3,000 or more. Confirm the minimum hours in writing before booking, since a short job can still trigger a full minimum charge.
Stairs, Carries, and Liability
Tight stairwells, long walkways, or slow elevators can bring extra per-floor or distance surcharges. On the protection side, basic carrier liability is minimal at $0.60 per pound per item; a damaged TV could leave you with almost nothing. Ask about full value protection before signing.
Permits and Crew Costs
Burbank’s residential streets can make a 26-foot truck difficult to place, so call the City of Burbank clerk ahead of time about a temporary street-blocking notice or permit. For the crew, customary tips are $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day and $50 to $60 each for a full, heavy day. Verify the mover’s Illinois Commerce Commission registration to avoid a crew holding your items for extra cash.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
