The quick answer

Most local moves in the Omaha metro land between $500 and $1,800. A two-mover crew with a truck starts at $141/hr at Budget Movers, billed to the nearest quarter hour. The final number depends on how much you're moving, how easy the access is at both homes, how well the home is prepped when the crew arrives, and whether you book a weekday or a weekend. There is no single "average price" for Omaha.

Real hourly rates below are Budget Movers' currently published rates as of September 25, 2026. Market averages are drawn from Omaha moving guides indexed at publication time. Always confirm rates in a written estimate before you book — with any mover.

The pricing formula, in plain English

(Hourly Rate × Hours on Clock) + Travel Time = Your Bill

Time is rounded up to the nearest quarter hour. Travel time covers the round trip from our terminal at 116th & I Street. There are no hidden surcharges — the clock starts when we arrive and stops when the last box is off the truck.
