Almost every company holds to a two- or three-hour minimum, so even a fast one-bedroom job bills for the full block. Many also tack on a one-time travel fee to cover the drive from their dispatch point to your address and back — ask how it's calculated before you book. Basic coverage is capped at $0.60 per pound, so ask about upgraded protection for anything valuable.
Across Missouri, total local moves run roughly $440 to $4,183 depending on home size and distance. Going the DIY route instead costs $30 to $3,500 for a rental truck, plus $45 to $80 an hour if you hire loading help alone.

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 St. Louis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 18% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
