Moving Companies in Ellisville, MO
Moving out of Ellisville comes with two different pricing systems depending on distance: St. Louis-area trips are typically charged by the hour, while relocations outside that radius get priced using shipment weight and mileage instead.
Local pricing
Expect an average hourly rate near $128 per mover, with most crews enforcing a two-hour minimum. A small studio move typically runs $380 to $950 and takes a two-person crew about 2.5 to 4.5 hours.
What can add to the bill
- Scheduling during the May-through-September peak, or right around the start or close of a month, typically adds 20% to 30% to the price. A mid-week, mid-month date usually costs less.
- Tight hallways, multiple flights of stairs, or a long walk from your door to the parked truck can trigger an access fee.
- Movers legally cannot transport plants, propane, aerosols or open containers of cleaning fluid, so plan to move those yourself.
Always confirm your mover carries an active MoDOT or FMCSA number before booking. Local options for this part of St. Louis County are listed below.

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.
