Affordable & Reliable Moving Labor in Savannah, Georgia
Savannah's historic district is one of the trickiest moving environments in the Southeast — cobblestone streets, live oaks, narrow driveways, and squares full of tourists. Hire movers who know the city inside out.
Moving in Savannah
Savannah moves split between the historic district downtown, the outlying areas of Pooler and Richmond Hill, and the growing SCAD student population. Downtown moves often require permits, tight parking coordination around the squares, and careful handling on brick and cobblestone streets. The suburbs and Wilmington Island are much easier logistically.

Parking, permits, and building access
- Contact the City of Savannah for temporary loading permits in the historic district — apply at least a week ahead
- Cobblestone streets make hand carries more common; add 15–20% to time estimates downtown
- Historic homes have narrow interior stairs; split box springs and bed frames are often necessary
- Pooler and Richmond Hill subdivisions may have HOA rules on truck parking and move times
- Wilmington and Whitemarsh Island moves may cross causeways; factor bridge traffic in summer
What a Savannah move costs
A downtown historic two-bedroom with stairs, three movers for five hours at $45/hr, is $675 in labor plus about $36 in fuel and the $49 booking fee — roughly $760. A Pooler four-bedroom suburban home with four movers for seven hours runs about $1,357 total. The same job through a full-service company often doubles those numbers.
