Local moves in Savannah: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Savannah: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $38–$48 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $455 – $747.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $227 – $363 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $303 – $555 |

Hourly rates are scaled to Georgia: hand movers there earn a median $18.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $38–$48 per mover per hour.

Before you book Fountain Moving & Storage Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC133282
Fountain Moving & Storage Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC133282. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Savannah references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Fountain Moving & Storage Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Savannah you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Fountain Moving & Storage Inc driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
4 of the 9 power units Fountain Moving & Storage Inc files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 29659, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $747
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Savannah at $455 – $747 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,776 – $5,034. A surveyed, written estimate from Fountain Moving & Storage Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
