How much do we charge for moving to a storage facility?
If you need to move your belongings into a storage facility, you can either pick your own warehouse or you can use our facility.
When moving to a storage facility, you should expect to pick up the stuff from your old place, and then drive into the storage and unload it. Then, when you need to move out of the storage facility, we will load the truck, drive it to your new place and then unload your stuff. As you can imagine, prices for moving and storage will be at double the normal rate. Why? We have to load and unload your items twice, and on top of that, you have to pay for the storage. But if this is your only option, we can help you find the best solution. Born To Move always offers insurance protection, even for your items that are placed in storage.
Storage prices
A room or less will cost you $150 per month.
A one-bedroom apartment – $200 per month.
A two-bedroom apartment – $350 per month.
A three-bedroom house – $500 per month.
Please note that our customers have to pay these prices if they choose our company. Storage will be calculated in every case.
Insurance and damage
All moving companies in Chicago have to provide insurance for their customers. Born To Move is no exception. All of our customers will receive $.60 per pound of insurance that will include our services. It turns out that if something is completely damaged, you will only receive $.60 per pound for a broken item.

Commercial moving jobs comprise 99% of all moves. We have a loading dock that makes it easier for us to move any office or commercial furniture.
Most commercial movers in Chicago prefer to send a few trucks to the job site and a crew of 4 to 10 people. That’s why the rates for commercial moves are always higher than the rates for other types of moving. It is necessary to involve a large number of people in commercial moving. On the other hand, commercial moves should be done fast. With professional movers and the right equipment, this won’t be a problem.

Winter moving in Chicago
Winter is cold. Winter moving services in Chicago are cheap and less convenient for movers and household owners who decide to move in the winter. It’s critical to wear gloves and winter hats not to catch the flu. That aside, everything is the same as regular moving during the summertime. However, moving rates in Chicago and the surrounding areas are cheaper during the winter months. Winter rates in Chicago are the following: $110 per hour for two movers and $170 per hour for three movers. The fee includes a truck and all packing supplies needed to relocate your belongings.

If you are relocating out of state, you may pay by certified check. Born to Move does not accept personal checks.
Hourly movers in Chicago
Almost all moving companies in Chicago charge by the hour plus travel time. Some moving providers charge a flat rate, but this is not a common practice. In most cases, movers charge by the hour, and Born To Move is one of them. If you hire our movers, you’ll pay an hourly rate that is three hours minimum to move your stuff. This fact means for two guys, an hourly charge will be $40 per hour, and for three guys, it’s $190 per hour. Our skilled movers will do everything you need to relocate your belongings safely and quickly. They will spend no more than three hours to complete the assigned task. They will get down to work as soon as they come to your location and finish at the second location. On average, it will take us 30 minutes to one hour to get to your location, but if you’re moving out of Chicago, the hourly rate will be the same, but the charge will be different because it takes us longer to get back to our parking lot from your location. Born To Move wants you to understand what the cost of transportation is. It’s always the cost of getting into your place and then going back to our parking lot because we have to travel to do the job, and then we have to go back to our own parking lot. This is all covered by our hourly rates for our movers in Chicago. This is how we calculate the total charges, including travel time and labor for your move.
Last-minute movers
If you get an offer for a new job, or you’re facing eviction, or you just procrastinate regardless of the reason, we can offer you a short-notice move. Maybe your movers didn’t show up, and you need to move out immediately from your new place because you can’t wait for other movers to show up. Meet our professionals!
