Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about moving with Blue Dolly.
How much do movers cost in Minnesota?
In 2026 most local moves run $390 to $850 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $850 to $1,400 for a 2-bedroom and $1,400 to $2,400 for a 3-bedroom. Long distance moves out of Minnesota start around $1,800 for a studio or 1-bedroom. Moving cost depends on the size of the move, the distance and the services you need. Blue Dolly gives free, no-obligation quotes as one flat, all-inclusive figure: wrapping, floor protection and fuel are always included at no extra charge, and no hourly clock runs on the day.
How far in advance should I book movers?
Two to four weeks is ideal, especially for a month-end or summer move when demand peaks. That said, we keep capacity for last minute moves, so a shorter timeline can usually still be covered.
Do you move pianos, gun safes, or heavy items?
Yes. Those go under our specialty moving service, rigged and protected with the right equipment rather than muscled. We flag them at the quote so the right kit is on the truck.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Blue Dolly Moving & Storage operates under USDOT 3928585, MnDOT 384454 and MC 1521934, and we carry full cargo and liability coverage on every move.
What areas do you serve in Minnesota?
We cover the whole Twin Cities metro and its suburbs, from Minneapolis proper and St. Paul as well out to Lakeville and Woodbury in the east. If you are not sure whether you are in range, just ask.
Do you provide packing materials and boxes?
Yes. With our packing and unpacking service we bring all cartons and materials, and it is priced into the flat quote, so there is no last-minute run for tape and boxes.
