Moving Companies in Missoula, MT
Missoula has a solid base of local, independently owned movers whose rates tend to run leaner than the big national franchise chains, so it is worth getting quotes from both types before deciding.
For a standard two-person crew and truck, hourly rates generally run $150 to $270 or more combined per hour, with larger crews or specialized equipment pushing closer to $265 an hour on the higher end. A small local move, like a single room or short across-town trip, typically bundles out to around $450 to $700 total. A full three- or four-bedroom local move runs $900 to $2,000 or more, depending mostly on how fast things pack up and how many stairs or heavy, awkward items like a piano or large appliance are involved.
Because rates vary this much by company, always confirm whether the number you are given is a binding estimate or just an hourly starting point, so you know what you are actually committing to before the truck shows up. With rates spanning that wide a range, lining up a couple of quotes from the movers below is the clearest way to see what your specific move will actually cost.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Missoula County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 50% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
