The honest answer: with most moving companies, Monday through Thursday is cheapest because they charge a premium Friday through Sunday. They don't call it a "weekend surcharge" — they just list higher rates for "peak days." At AD Movers, we charge the same rate every single day. Monday or Saturday, it costs the same. We don't take advantage of people who have no choice but to move on weekends.
Why People Ask This Question
Most moving companies charge more on weekends — they just don't say it plainly. They use terms like "peak rates," "high-demand days," or "weekend availability fees." The cheapest day to hire a moving company with most providers is mid-week. Here's the breakdown — and why AD Movers is different.
Most moving companies offer their lowest rates mid-week. Demand is lower, so they price accordingly. If your schedule is flexible, this is how you save with most movers — but not everyone can take a weekday off work to move.
This is where the premium kicks in at most companies. Weekends are high-demand because most people work Monday–Friday. So movers charge 15–30% more — sometimes without clearly advertising it. You only find out when you get the quote.
The last and first few days of the month are the busiest regardless of the day of the week. Leases end, closings happen, and everyone moves at once. Book early if your move date falls in this window — availability fills fast.
At AD Movers, every day is the cheapest day. We charge the same, transparent rate whether you move on a Tuesday or a Sunday. No weekend surcharges. No peak pricing. The price you see is what you pay — period.
What Our Customers Say
These customers needed to move on a Saturday or Sunday — and were relieved to find out we don't penalize them for it.
"I called three moving companies and the first two both quoted me higher for a Saturday. AD Movers quoted me the exact same rate as a Wednesday. I couldn't believe it. They showed up, did a great job, and the final bill matched the quote exactly. No games, no surprise fees."
"I work Monday through Friday and literally had no choice but to move on a Saturday. Every other company I called charged a weekend fee. AD Movers didn't even mention a weekend rate — because there isn't one. Same price, same crew, same professionalism. Booking them again."
"Sunday move, no markup. The crew was fantastic — on time, careful with everything, done in under three hours. I've moved with companies that nickel-and-dime you on weekends. AD Movers just quoted me a fair price and stuck to it. Will absolutely use them again."

Yes — most do. Many companies list "peak rates" for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday that are 15–30% higher than their weekday rates. They justify it as supply and demand. At AD Movers, we don't believe in penalizing customers who have no choice but to move on a weekend. Our rate is the same every day.
End-of-month dates (roughly the 25th through the 5th) are the busiest time for all moving companies because most leases end then. While our rate doesn't change, availability does fill faster during this period. We recommend booking 7–10 days ahead for end-of-month moves to secure your slot.
No — never. Saturday and Sunday moves cost the same as any other day. We built our pricing to be fair to customers who work Monday through Friday and can only move on weekends. No surcharges, no premium rates, no surprises.
No hidden fees — that's our guarantee. We don't charge fuel surcharges, stair fees, long-carry fees, packing material markups, credit card processing fees, or taxes added at the end. The price in your quote is the price you pay. If anything changes during your move, we'll tell you before we do the work — not after.
With AD Movers, the best price is always available — any day, any time. Use our instant quote tool online to see your price in 60 seconds. For the best availability, book at least 5–7 days out.
