Boston Flat Rate Movers

At Poseidon Moving and Storage, all local moves in Boston are based on a clear, straightforward flat hourly rate. We bill in 15-minute increments, so you’re only paying for the actual time used—not rounded-up hours. A 3-hour minimum applies for smaller moves that take less time to complete, such as apartment or student relocations.

Unlike many other Boston moving companies, we do not charge extra for fuel, trucks, or equipment. These costs are fully covered by us and are never added to your final invoice. That means no hidden fees, ever.

Below is a detailed breakdown of our flat hourly rates based on move size, season, and number of movers. Whether you’re moving within Boston, Brookline, Somerville, or beyond, you can rely on transparent pricing and professional service.

When we say you’ll know exactly how much you’re paying, we mean it. While our flat rate includes everything you need for a successful move, we also offer a few additional services that some customers might need. These services do come with extra fees, but they’re affordable, straightforward, and totally optional.

Moving Permits: If your address requires a parking permit for the moving truck, just let us know ahead of time. We’ll take care of the whole process—picking up the permit from Boston City Hall and posting it at your location—so you don’t have to worry about it.

Last-Minute Moving: Need help right away or outside normal hours? No problem. Our movers are available for after-hours or emergency moves, and we’re happy to work around your schedule day or night.

Holding Fee: If we need to keep your items on the truck overnight (for example, if your new place isn’t ready until the next morning), we charge a $200 holding fee per truck, per night. This helps cover secure overnight storage while your belongings stay loaded and protected.

Haul Away Services: Need to get rid of old furniture, boxes, or junk while you’re moving? We offer junk removal services during your move. Just ask for a quick quote and we’ll let you know the cost based on what needs to go.

Hoisting Services: Got a couch or large item that won’t fit through the stairs or door? No problem. We offer hoisting services when needed just give us a heads-up before move day so our team can arrive prepared with the right equipment.

Moving Insurance: Every move includes basic liability coverage at 60 cents per pound per item. If you’re looking for extra peace of mind, we also offer additional full-value protection. Just ask your account manager for details, and we’ll walk you through the options that best fit your move.
Need to provide proof of coverage to your building? COIs (Certificates of Insurance) are available upon request—just let us know and we’ll handle it.
