Ask for a Binding Estimate or Binding Not-To-Exceed in writing; a non-binding estimate can still rise on moving day.
Peak timing can push hourly rates 20% to 40% higher, especially at month-end, on weekends, and from May through September. Mid-week and mid-month dates are usually cheaper.

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 Lake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
