Local crews in Naperville bill at roughly $100–$155 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 Naperville, the controlling number is weight + mileage, not hourly. A 2-bedroom household out of the metro lands around $2,800–$6,700 on a full-service van line, and 30–45% less via portable container.
Crews working Downtown, Cress Creek, Hobson Greene 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.
