How we ranked the top Missoula movers

Why you should trust us

We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Missoula, MT.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Missoula:

Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 8 companies that offer moving services in the Missoula area.

From these 8 companies, we analyzed a total of 698 reviews dating all the way back to March 2009.

We also reviewed a total of 0 state and federal moving licenses from these 8 companies and 33 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~0 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 2,200 data points to compute individual company scores.

Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 310 Missoula moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.

Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer(like Big Sky Box Portable Storage) vs older more established companies (like Montana Movers).

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Missoula

How much should you tip movers in Missoula, MT?

At the end of your move in Missoula, it’s common to tip around 10%-20% of your total cost or about $5 per mover per hour. This gesture recognizes the hard work involved in hauling furniture through neighborhoods like the Rattlesnake or the Lewis and Clark district. As a final show of thanks, offering a refreshing huckleberry lemonade is a thoughtful local treat to keep everyone energized.

Is it cheaper to make a DIY move in Missoula?

A DIY move might seem budget-friendly, but extra costs like fuel, truck rental, and insurance can add up quickly, especially along I-90 or in winter conditions near Pattee Canyon. Driving a large rental truck through downtown Missoula can also be stressful if you’re unfamiliar with the area. For a better idea of available vehicles and rates, search for moving truck rental locations in Missoula before you decide.

Should I hire labor-only movers?

If you already have your own moving truck or portable container, labor-only moves can simplify the process. By hiring hourly movers in Missoula, you get trained professionals to handle loading and unloading without the cost of renting a truck you don’t need. This can be handy if you’re just moving items to a storage unit near Hellgate Canyon or shifting furniture between dorms at the University of Montana.

What if I need to move something special like a piano or pool table?

Some items, like pianos, pool tables, or gun safes, require specialized training and equipment. Local piano movers can safely transport your upright across steep driveways near Mount Sentinel, while pool table movers know how to disassemble and balance your table so it’s ready for the next game in your new place by the Clark Fork River. These experts protect your valuables from Montana’s unpredictable weather, ensuring everything arrives in top shape.
