What a Grants Pass local move truly costs
Most callers guess low on a Grants Pass move, usually because a competitor floated a tidy number for a house nobody had actually walked through. For a move that stays inside Josephine County, what you owe is the crew, the truck, and everything in between, written as one flat figure.

- 3-mover rate$189/hr, crew & truck

The driveway is what sets the number here
A historic G Street craftsman with a narrow original staircase, a rural acreage out past Murphy with a quarter-mile gravel lane, a Fruitdale garage packed to the rafters — all of it eats hours a plain valley-floor ranch never would. Renee builds those hours into the quote up front instead of pretending the gravel road doesn’t add time.
Local flat-rate ranges
Once we’ve walked the rooms and asked how far off pavement your driveway sits, the hourly math turns into one flat figure on paper. These ranges reflect a typical job around Grants Pass and Josephine County, from downtown to Merlin, Murphy, and Rogue River.
| Home size | Crew & truck | Typical flat rate |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom apartment | 2 movers, 1 truck | $500 – $780 |
| 2-bedroom home or condo | 2 – 3 movers, 1 truck | $780 – $1,280 |
| 3-bedroom house | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,280 – $2,180 |
| 4+ bedroom house | 3 – 4 movers, 1 – 2 trucks | $2,180 – $3,550 |
No hidden add-ons inside Josephine County
The flat rate is the whole number. There’s no separate fuel charge, no stair fee, and no gravel-driveway surcharge for a local move anywhere in the county.
| What people expect to be charged | What we charge |
|---|---|
| Fuel surcharge | $0, built into the rate |
| Stair or long-carry fee | $0 inside Josephine County |
| Gravel-driveway or rural-lane fee | $0, included |
Where the hours actually pile up
A handful of things swing the total, and each is already priced into the figure you sign, so move day never springs a fresh charge.
- The driveway. A quarter-mile gravel lane out past Wilderville takes longer to stage than a paved valley-floor driveway, and we plan the truck and crew size around it.
- The stairs. A historic G Street two-story with a narrow original staircase moves slower than a single-level ranch.
- The packing. A fully packed house loads fast; boxes still half-done on move morning burn hours nobody budgeted.
- The heavy pieces. A gun safe, a piano, or shop equipment from an outbuilding wants trained hands and the right rigging, quoted up front.
Crew and coverage, plain
Travis Meadows started Grants Pass Movers in 2013 with one flatbed, and it now runs four trucks, with Renee Castillo writing the quotes, Marcus Odell on dispatch, and Jesse Bramwell and Hector Salcido leading the crews.
