Student movers in New Orleans for the move most students really have: a studio or a shared apartment, a bed, a desk and a stack of boxes. We bring our own truck or load the rental you already booked, and the hourly rate is the same any day of the week.
What We Offer
Most student moves we run are not dorm moves. They are a lease ending on the last day of the month, a walk-up with no elevator, two roommates deciding who keeps the couch, and a budget that does not stretch to a full-house crew. This page is about those moves; campus move-in timing is covered on our college movers page.
A bed, a desk, a dresser, a TV and boxes is often a two-mover job on our truck. Tell us the floor and whether there is an elevator, and the ballpark reflects a small apartment rather than a house.
Two roommates leaving one apartment for two new places is simply one booking with two drop-off stops. List every address in the quote, and the two of you decide how to split the final price.
When one lease ends before the next begins, we take the load to a storage unit, through our storage partners or your own unit, and bring it back out to the new address when you have the keys.
Already reserved a rental truck or a POD? Book our crew to load or unload it. You do the driving; we do the stairs, stack the truck tight and strap the load so it rides well.
Keeping a Small Move Small
Rated 4.8 across 115 Google reviews and 200+ across all platforms. Read the reviews. Here is what is in the price on a campus move.
Loose things on shelves and in closets are the slowest part of any small move. Taped, labeled boxes stack fast on a hand truck. Mattress bags and wardrobe boxes come on our truck if you need them.
Bed frames, desks and flat-pack shelves can come apart the night before, with the screws in a labeled bag. Our crew can do it, but time spent with an Allen key is time on the clock.
Street parking on many Uptown and Mid-City blocks is tight. Ask your landlord about a driveway or loading spot, and tell us what is out front. A shorter walk from the door to the truck saves more time than anything else.
Why Choose AD Movers
We have been moving students, first-apartment renters and roommates around New Orleans since 2013.
How It Works
Tell us the floor, the stairs and both addresses. We price it, you pick the day, and the crew shows up with what a small move needs.
Enter where you live now, where you are going and what you own. The ballpark shows up in about 60 seconds without a phone call, and the final price is confirmed before move day.
Many New Orleans leases turn over at the end of the month, so those days fill first. A mid-month weekday is easier to schedule and costs the same as any other day.
A small crew loads the apartment, drives it on our truck or packs yours, and puts the bed, desk and boxes where you want them at the new place.
Your Moving Crew
Students tend to live up a flight of stairs: the upper half of an Uptown double, a third-floor unit in an older apartment building, a room over a shop. Our crews carry up and down stairs like those most days, with straps for the heavy pieces and runners on the landings.

Equipped for Every Move
A one-bedroom off Maple Street or a Mid-City studio does not need a 26-foot truck, and a big truck is hard to park on those blocks anyway. We bring the 20-foot, plus mattress bags, wardrobe boxes, and a hand truck narrow enough for an apartment stairwell.

Common Questions
Local student moves are priced by the hour on our own truck, so a studio with a few pieces costs less than a full apartment. Stairs, distance and how ready the boxes are set the time. The online tool shows a ballpark in about 60 seconds, the final price is confirmed before move day, and weekends cost the same.
Yes. AD Movers is licensed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission as LPSC license #8127, and full moves on our truck are insured. The movers are background-checked AD Movers employees who answer to the owner, so a small apartment move gets the same crew standards as a house. Verify with LPSC.
For a mid-month weekday, a few days to a week out is often enough, and same-day works when a crew is free. The last and first days of the month are when most leases turn over, so book those as soon as you sign the new lease. Questions? Call 504-237-0855.
Yes. That is our labor-only service: the crew loads or unloads the truck, trailer or POD you reserved, stacks it tight and straps it, and you handle the driving. It suits a student moving home to another city on a budget. Tell us the truck size and the stairs at each end when you book.
Yes. We run long-distance routes from New Orleans to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta and Chicago, plus other interstate moves, at a flat price. If the load is small, labor-only on a rental truck you drive yourself is the other option. Either way, start by putting both addresses in the quote.
Yes. Single-item pickups from a seller's house or a store are small jobs we take on our own truck. Send the item, its rough size, the seller's address and the stairs at both ends. Measure your own door first, because a couch that left the seller's house may not clear a narrow apartment entry.
Yes. One booking can include several pickup or drop-off stops, so two or three roommates leaving the same place can share the truck and the crew. Each extra stop adds drive time, so list every address up front. How you divide the final price between you is your call.

We show up inside the arrival window, carry everything up the stairs without dinging the stairwell, and charge the price we confirmed with you. Nothing is added without your OK. A move on a student budget should not end with a surprise on the bill.
