Geneva has a few local quirks that can raise the bill. Most crews in the Fox Valley area start the clock when they leave their dispatch lot and stop when they return, so a company based 45 minutes outside Geneva will charge for that commute. Historic downtown streets and tight neighborhoods can also be hard for a 26-foot truck, making temporary parking permits or HOA approval worth checking before moving day. Peak pricing hits between May and September and at month-end or month-start; a mid-month Tuesday or Wednesday can improve availability and rates.
Standard mover liability in Illinois can be as little as 60 cents per pound per article, so checking Full Value Protection or your own homeowner’s/renter’s insurance may be worth it for high-value items. Keep a first-day box with toilet paper, screwdrivers, phone chargers, trash bags, and snacks so paid time isn’t spent digging through boxes.

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 Kane County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 21% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
