What a move with Hitco Moving & Storage should cost

Local moves in Hilo: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Hilo: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$55 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $845.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $405 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $625 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $845 |

| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,275 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,715 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Hawaii: hand movers there earn a median $21.21 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$55 per mover per hour.

Before you book Hitco Moving & Storage
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC512899
Hitco Moving & Storage can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC512899. 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 Hilo references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Hitco Moving & Storage's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Hilo you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
Hitco Moving & Storage files 6 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Hilo at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $25,682 – $34,242. A surveyed, written estimate from Hitco Moving & Storage far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
