How we ranked the top Hot Springs 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 Hot Springs, SD.

Rating Methodology

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

Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 13 companies that offer moving services in the Hot Springs area.

From these 13 companies, we analyzed a total of 1,643 reviews dating all the way back to January 2011.

We also reviewed a total of 3 state and federal moving licenses from these 13 companies and 55 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~1,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 5,903 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 591 Hot Springs 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 Affordable Moving) vs older more established companies (like Elite Moving).

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Hot Springs

How much should you tip movers in Hot Springs, SD?

In Hot Springs, tipping your movers is a great way to show appreciation for their hard work, especially when navigating the rolling hills and local roads along Highway 18 or Highway 385. Most people tip between 10% and 20% of the total moving cost, or around $5 per mover per hour, depending on how strenuous the move is. After hauling boxes up steep driveways or maneuvering large furniture in historic neighborhoods, a sincere gesture like offering them some chilled iced tea is often appreciated.

Is it cheaper to make a DIY move in Hot Springs?

For those tackling a DIY move in or around Hot Springs—perhaps you’re moving along Mickelson Trail or setting up near the banks of Fall River—consider the extra costs for packing supplies and equipment. Renting a truck and navigating tight corners on Highway 385 can be challenging, and handling heavier pieces on your own may require more time than you expect. If you need to locate a vehicle for transport, check out this link for truck rental options in and around Hot Springs.

Should I hire labor-only movers?

If you only need help loading or unloading a rental truck in Hot Springs—whether you’re moving from a place near Evans Plunge or setting up a shop downtown—labor-only services can be a budget-friendly approach. You handle your own truck or container, and the pros from hourly movers in Hot Springs will take care of the heavy lifting. This type of move gives you flexibility while still making sure belongings are handled by experienced professionals.

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

Hot Springs sees plenty of unique items like vintage pianos, antique statues, and even hot tubs that need expert care. Whether you’re bringing a grand piano into a historic home on the edge of Wind Cave National Park or moving a pool table to your lakeside property, you can rely on piano moving experts and pool table moving companies in Hot Springs to handle delicate tasks. These specialized teams know the best techniques to protect your items, so you can settle in quickly and start enjoying the region’s beautiful surroundings.
