What to Ask Before You Book in Vail
Local crews with two movers and a truck typically bill between $150 and $250+ per hour. A studio or one-bedroom move often runs 3 to 5 hours for an estimated $600–$1,250, while a two- to three-bedroom home can take 6 to 9 hours with a three-person crew and reach $1,200–$2,500+.
Hour minimums and billing blocks
Clarify whether the quote includes travel time from the crew’s starting point and a minimum billing block. If the job runs shorter than the minimum, do you still pay for the full minimum?
Hidden terrain and access fees
Many Vail driveways, underground garages, and condo roads cannot accommodate a standard 26-foot truck. Surcharges for mountain driving, long carries when the truck cannot park near the door, stairs or elevators, and heavy items such as hot tubs, safes, or pianos can appear on top of the hourly rate. Ask which fees apply to your address and whether a shuttle truck is needed.
HOA and parking rules
Some associations restrict commercial vehicle parking, require elevator reservations, or require floor protection. If the crew is turned away or ticketed, the clock may keep running. Confirm access reservations before you book.
Liability and valuation gaps
Basic valuation caps reimbursement at $0.60 per pound per item, which would mean $30 for a broken 50-pound TV. Ask about full-value protection for furniture and art, or whether a homeowner’s policy covers items in transit.

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 Eagle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 56% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
