How Much to Tip Movers

Do you tip movers, and if so, how much? As a guideline, tip your transport company 15-20% of the total moving costs for large or long moves and 5-10% for small and long moves. For example, if your move costs $2,000, a $100 to $200 (5-10%) tip is reasonable for getting around town.

In addition, tips are generally paid in cash, and a good rule of thumb for moving companies is a minimum of $ per packer and/or shipper and a minimum of $ per driver/operator.

How much should I tip the moving company?

Transport companies don't automatically include tips in their prices, so tips are always good. As a guideline, tip your carrier 15-20% of the total moving costs for major moves and 5-10% for small crossings between cities.
