Augusta's market has two unique constraints: Masters Tournament week (early April) and Fort Eisenhower PCS season. Here's what licensed Augusta movers charge in 2026 and how to time around both.
Augusta's moving market has two dominant calendar events. Masters Tournament week (early April) sells out every mover and storage facility within 50 miles — book by January if you must move that week. Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) PCS season (May–August) is the second peak with DOD-approved movers handling DPS-eligible moves.
GA PSC regulates intrastate; FMCSA covers interstate. Carrier supply outside Masters/PCS season is solid with reasonable prices.
Local Augusta 2-BR moves run $700–$1,200 for 6–8 hours. Masters week pricing is essentially unavailable (most movers booked by January). PCS-season civilian moves run 15–25% above standard.
Outbound interstate runs typical Southeast pricing. Use the moving cost calculator for a baseline.
| Move type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Studio local | $400–$750 |
| 1 BR local | $550–$950 |
| 2 BR local | $700–$1,200 |
| 3 BR local | $1,100–$2,000 |
| 2 BR Augusta → Atlanta | $1,600–$2,600 |
| 2 BR Augusta → Charlotte | $1,800–$2,800 |
GA PSC regulates intrastate.
FMCSA-regulated. Verify USDOT and confirm carrier vs broker. Fort Eisenhower PCS uses DPS.
Masters week (early April) is the absolute crunch — book 3+ months ahead or move a different week. Fort Eisenhower PCS (May–August) is the second peak. Off-peak months are November–February (excluding winter ice events).
Augusta has roughly 200,000 residents and ranks #116 among US cities by population. The metro pulls steady inbound traffic from neighboring states and feeds outbound moves to lower-cost markets in the same direction most years.
Practical note unique to Augusta: Masters Tournament week (early April) sells out every mover and storage facility within 50 miles; Fort Eisenhower PCS season tightens summer supply.
Local rates assume two movers and ground-floor access; high-rise or stair access typically adds 15–30%.
| Home size | Local move | Interstate move |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $270–$700 | $1,485–$3,840 |
| 1 Bedroom | $360–$840 | $2,025–$4,992 |
| 2 Bedroom | $540–$1,260 | $2,700–$6,400 |
| 3 Bedroom | $720–$1,680 | $3,915–$9,920 |
| 4+ Bedroom | $990–$2,240 | $5,265–$13,760 |

Local crews in Augusta bill at roughly $90–$140 per hour for two movers. Three-mover crews run about 35% more per hour but usually finish in two-thirds the time, so the total is similar on jobs over 4 hours.
For interstate moves out of Augusta, the controlling number is weight + mileage, not hourly. A 2-bedroom household out of the metro lands around $2,700–$6,400 on a full-service van line, and 30–45% less via portable container.
Crews working Summerville, Olde Town, West Lake and similar areas tend to know the parking and access rules. When you call for quotes, mention the specific neighborhood — it changes the truck size they'll send and whether they pre-pull a permit.
Walk-up apartments, narrow stairwells, and elevator buildings each price differently. For walk-ups above the second floor, expect $25–$100 per flight on top of the base. For elevator buildings, the cost is usually time spent waiting for a freight reservation, not a separate line item.
Peak season here is April–September. Weekend slots in those months book out 4–6 weeks ahead and run 20–30% above off-peak rates. If you can land a Tuesday or Wednesday in November–March, you'll get the same crew at a noticeably lower price and they'll arrive on time more reliably.
Month-end is universally the worst time across the calendar — leases turn over, demand spikes, and the most experienced crews are already booked. Mid-month moves catch a softer market.
