Office and commercial moves may require different staffing, equipment, handling, access or coordination than a standard residential move. Smaller office moves may qualify for standard rates, while larger or more complex commercial moves may use different hourly pricing. Pricing is confirmed before scheduling.
Published rates are for standard residential moves using standard moving equipment and normal move conditions. Larger or more complex moves, accelerated packing and moving schedules, expanded crews or multiple trucks, dedicated supervision, specialty equipment, difficult access, or additional handling and protection may require premium pricing. Any adjusted rate is confirmed before scheduling.
*Premium pricing is determined by the requirements of the move and is confirmed before scheduling.
The hourly clock begins when Frontier's movers arrive at the residence. It ends when the move is complete, the truck is unloaded, and Frontier's pads and equipment are back on the truck. Travel to your residence is handled through the one-time trip charge rather than secretly running the labor clock before arrival.
The trip charge covers the cost of getting the crew and equipment to the move and is based on the origin/destination area. It should never be buried inside confusing hourly math.
Competitive trip-charge territory is centered on Frontier's normal Phoenix metro service footprint. The exact charge is quoted from the move locations.
Locations outside Frontier's standard service footprint can carry a higher trip charge. For these moves, a guaranteed flat rate may be the better option.
Guaranteed QuoteThe hourly rate and one-time trip charge cover normal local moving service. Frontier does not add routine stair fees or a separate fuel percentage.
Quoted from the pickup and delivery locations. It covers getting the crew and equipment to and from the move and related travel costs.
Selected specialty items such as pianos, grandfather clocks, safes and certain oversized items may carry a separate handling surcharge. Any applicable charge should be disclosed before the move.
Hourly pricing works well for many straightforward local moves. A guaranteed flat-rate quote is useful when the inventory and moving conditions can be defined accurately and the customer wants the total price established in advance.
Your guaranteed price is based on the agreed inventory and move conditions, with clear access to the items being moved. Changes to the inventory, conditions or access may affect the price.
Guaranteed QuoteA few move-specific factors can affect the final hourly rate or add a disclosed handling charge. We keep those exceptions visible before the move so you know what applies.
The 26' truck carries a higher hourly rate than the 20' apartment/smaller-move truck.
Two movers is Frontier's normal crew. Additional movers may be requested or recommended for larger or more difficult moves, subject to availability. The calculator above shows current rates for 3- and 4-mover crews. For larger crews, ask Frontier for pricing.
Boxes, tape, paper, shrink wrap and other consumable packing materials are not silently baked into the hourly labor rate.
Unusual access or special handling needs should be disclosed before the move so Frontier can quote and staff the job correctly. Moves that require a shuttle may carry additional shuttle fees.
