Great experience with these guys; I had a real tough move out of a top floor multi-family with narrow stairs. They took the couches down with pulleys from the rear porch, which was quite impressive and they handled the rest with care and efficiency. I really do hope that I never have to move again, but I wouldn’t hesitate to call these guys if I did. I definitely recommend them.

Parking Permits for Moving Trucks

If you’re looking for moving permits or parking permits for your upcoming move, you’ve come to right place. As a Boston-based moving company, we offer permit acquisition services in Boston, Brookline, and Somerville. However, we do not offer this service in Cambridge. That’s because the City of Cambridge will hang moving permits for you if you apply for them online.

When confirming your move via email, simply request that we acquire and post moving permits for you. The charge will be added to your final bill, so there’s no upfront cost. We charge $75 for a single permit location, $125 for two locations, and $150 for three or more locations. These charges pay for us to acquire and post the parking permits for you. They are in addition to the cost each city charges for the actual permits. Of course, the charges for the moving permits vary by city.
