Moving Companies in Hampshire, IL
Hourly vs Flat Pricing
Planning a move in or around Hampshire comes down to a few choices: hourly or flat pricing, two movers or three, and whether your new place sits on a rural Kane County road. Here is how those decisions shape your budget.
For local jobs, two movers with a truck typically run $181 to $347 per hour, averaging about $264. If you rent your own truck or container and only need loading help, expect $41 to $80 per mover each hour, or a flat job fee of $320 to $630.
Local Move Cost by Home Size
| Home Size | Typical Local Cost | Full-Service Range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-Bedroom | $560–$1,100 | up to $3,600 |
| 2–3 Bedrooms | $1,075–$1,950 | $4,400–$5,200 |
| 4–5+ Bedrooms | $2,165–$3,350+ | varies by volume |
Crew Size and Access
Hourly local moves keep the clock running during travel between addresses; ask how that time is billed before booking.
Two movers may be enough for standard furniture, but heavy pieces such as pianos, dense dressers, or large sectionals can add serious time. Itemize those pieces upfront so the company sends a three-person crew if needed.
Some Hampshire properties have tight driveways, gravel roads, or subdivision streets blocked by construction vehicles. If a semi cannot fit, request a smaller 26-foot box truck to avoid long-carry fees.
Tipping
Standard tipping is $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the crew.
Licensing
Verify the company holds active Illinois Commerce Commission licensing and cargo insurance before signing.

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.
