Shuttle Service

If a truck can’t park directly outside your home, due to narrow streets, steep driveways, or building restrictions, we can use a smaller vehicle to transport your belongings between your home and the larger truck.

When Is a Shuttle Service Needed?

1. Streets are too narrow or busy for a full-size moving truck.
2. Your home is on a steep hill or has a long, tight driveway.
3. There are parking restrictions, loading dock limitations, or permit issues.
4. Apartment buildings or condos restrict truck access or lack freight elevators.

Does It Cost Extra?

Yes, shuttle service is generally considered an accessorial charge (an additional service beyond standard moving costs). Fees may be based on:

1. The distance between your home and the main truck.
2. The number of trips required with the shuttle vehicle.
3. The volume or weight of your belongings.

It’s best to discuss shuttle service in advance during your moving estimate, so there are no surprises on moving day.

Pro Tip

Provide clear details about your home’s location (photos, parking availability, driveway slope, etc.) during your quote process. This helps the moving company assess whether a shuttle service is necessary, and include it in your estimate to avoid unexpected charges.
