Because moving out for the first time and buying your forever home are two completely different journeys — and every move deserves its own Buddy.

That’s why we don’t list fixed pricing online. Instead, we offer customized moving quotes tailored specifically to your needs — for local residential moves, long-distance relocations, commercial office moves, and everything in between.

Whether you’re moving across town with a local residential move, relocating from the city to the suburbs, starting fresh with a long-distance relocation, expanding your business with a commercial office move, or simply need labor-only movers for a helping hand, Hoosier Buddy will deliver a clear, detailed, and personalized breakdown based on your situation — no hidden fees, no surprises, and no Buddy left behind.

Just honest, upfront pricing from your Buddy for Life.

HOW OUR PRICING WORKS

Here’s what goes into building your quote: 

Hourly Rates: 

Our moves are billed hourly for: 

  • Local Residential Moves 
  • Long-Distance Moves 
  • Commercial and Office Moves 
  • Labor-Only Moving Services 
  • Furniture Donation Moving Services 

Flat-Rate Services: 

For simple Furniture Delivery Moves, we offer competitive flat-rate pricing based on the distance and item details. 

Mileage Fee: 

The first 35 miles are free. After that, a mileage fee applies based on the distance of your move. 

Booking Fee (Non-Refundable Deposit):

This upfront fee secures your move date and time, and helps cover key operational costs like gas, equipment use, and wear and tear on our trucks — so your Buddy arrives ready, reliable, and on time.

PLEASE NOTE:
This deposit is strictly non-refundable. If you cancel your move at any time, your deposit will be retained.

Additional Charges & Rescheduling Policy 

  • Standard Moves: 

    You have up to one week (7 days) before your scheduled move to cancel or reschedule without penalty.

    If you cancel or reschedule more than 7 days out, your deposit is fully refundable or transferrable. 

  • Inconvenience Fee: 

    If unexpected complications arise—such as additional stops, items added that were not on your original inventory list, restricted access, long stair carries, or anything that slows down the job—a small fee may be applied to keep your move running smoothly.

We always recommend providing as much notice as possible to avoid fees and to help us serve you better. 

DISCOUNTS WE OFFER

Moving with Hoosier Buddy means saving, too! 

Here are the discounts we proudly offer:

10% off for seniors aged 60+

Simply let us know before your move if you qualify, and we’ll make sure it’s applied!

Same-Day Moves 

When You Need a Buddy—Today.

We understand that not everything in life goes according to plan. If you need to move the same day and we have availability, we’re on it. 

Same-day moves are billed at a premium hourly rate and require a deposit to book your crew. 

 

Heads up: From May through September, we’re in peak moving season. It’s best to schedule ahead—but if life throws you a curveball, give us a call. 

If we can help, we absolutely will.

Last-Minute Moving 

Because Life Doesn’t Always Give You a Heads-Up.

Whether your movers bailed, your plans changed, or you’re up against the clock—we’ve got your back. 

Our last-minute services are designed to help you get where you need to go without the stress or scramble. 

 We move fast without cutting corners. If you’re in a pinch, Hoosier Buddy will try to make it happen. That’s what Buddies are for. 

We get it—choosing a moving company is a big decision. You’re trusting someone with your memories, your milestones, and your next chapter. 

That’s why we built Hoosier Buddy around one simple idea: we’re here to be the Buddy you can count on—every step of the way. 

  • We’re Built on the Buddy Standard

    Whether it’s mom’s cherished piano, your kid’s first bicycle, or your grandmother’s hand-me-down table, we treat every piece of your life with the same care and respect we would show our own family — because moving isn’tjust about stuff, it’s about the memories you carry forward.

  • We Believe in Trust Through Transparency 

    At Hoosier Buddy, we believe trust isn’t built with words — it’s built with actions. 

    That’s why we keep every moving quote crystal-clear: no hidden fees, no confusing fine print, and no vague numbers. From the first phone call to the final box unloaded, you’ll always know exactly what to expect — and exactly what you’re paying for. 

     

    While most moving companies leave you guessing (and stressing), the only surprise you’ll find with Hoosier Buddy is how much more affordable we are compared to our competitors — while delivering friendlier service, better communication, and a moving experience you’ll actually want to recommend. 

     

    Because trust isn’t just a word to us — it’s the Buddy way. 

  • We Understand What You’re Going Through

    Moving is a major life moment — and sometimes, a stressful one. But not with us. 

    At Hoosier Buddy, we know moving isn’t just about boxes and trucks — it’s about carrying your life from one home to the next. 

    We’re not just muscle; we’re empathy in motion. We listen to your concerns. We lighten your load. We make sure you feel seen, heard, and genuinely taken care of — every step of the way.

  • We Deliver Exceptional Care, Every Time 

    Our movers show up with smiles, strong backs, and the best attitudes in the business. Friendly, helpful, and always professional — that’s the Buddy way.

  • We’re Local, Loyal, and Community-Driven 

    We’re proud of our Indiana roots and Chicagoland connections — but what matters most is the difference we make along the way. 

    Through our proud partnership with Move For Hunger, we collect non-perishable food donations during every move, helping stock local food pantries and fight hunger in our communities. 

    We also donate gently used furniture and household goods to local charities — helping families in need create new homes full of hope. 

     

    At Hoosier Buddy, moving isn’t just about getting from Point A to Point B — it’s about lifting others up along the way. Because that’s what real Buddies do.
