Your choice for local moving labor
More than Just Moving
UniMovers consists of locally owned moving companies working to uplift the community while utilizing university and college movers. We provide labor-only moving to the local areas that we service.
We know that full-service moving companies are expensive. Really expensive. By using our labor-only moving services our customers save, on average, 40-60% when compared to traditional full-service moving companies. All you need to do is provide/rent the truck or storage container, and book with us to do the labor.

Supporting Local Students
All of our workers are local university and college students or recent graduates earning money to support themselves while pursuing a degree or paying off their students loans. In addition, a portion of every move goes to our scholarship fund!
Simple payment
To make paying easy, we are a card-only moving company. We charge at a flat rate and if applicable, a travel fee. We also guarantee no added fees for stairs, pianos, or “day-of” bookings.
Reliable & Insured
Every mover goes through an initial screening and on-boarding process. Our UniMovers really care about our clients. In the rare case where something happens, we are insured.
