The Main Pricing Factors
The biggest factors are van size, number of movers, loading time, travel distance, parking, stairs, lift access and whether packing is included.
A clear quote should explain what is included and what could change the final price.

For fixed pricing, movers need enough detail to understand the real size and access requirements of the job.

Be honest about stairs, heavy items, parking distance and extra boxes. If the list changes, update the moving team before the day.
