Savannah's market is shaped by Historic District truck-access restrictions and tourism-season congestion. Here's what licensed Savannah movers charge in 2026 and how to schedule around the spring tourist peak.
Savannah's market is small and seasonal. The Historic District has narrow lanes, protected oak canopies, and squares that limit truck access — most carriers cap truck size at 24 feet inside the historic core. Tourism peaks (March–May, October) tighten downtown loading-zone availability.
GA PSC regulates intrastate; FMCSA covers interstate. Strong I-95 corridor outbound capacity year-round.
Local Savannah 2-BR moves run $700–$1,200 for 6–8 hours. Historic District access can stretch the clock with smaller-truck loads or two-trip operations.
Outbound interstate runs typical Southeast pricing on I-95 corridor lanes. 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 Savannah → Atlanta | $1,800–$2,800 |
| 2 BR Savannah → Miami | $2,400–$3,800 |
GA PSC regulates intrastate. Historic District access constraints affect truck size.
FMCSA-regulated. Verify USDOT and confirm carrier vs broker.
May through September is peak. Tourism season (March–May) compresses downtown access. Cheapest months are November, January, February.
Savannah has roughly 148,000 residents and ranks #144 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 Savannah: Historic District homes have narrow lanes and protected oak trees that limit truck access; tourism peak (March–May) restricts downtown loading.
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 Savannah 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 Savannah, 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 Historic District, Ardsley Park, Starland 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.
