Should you feed and tip movers? One of the most common questions we face, and often one of the most difficult to answer, is whether to and how much to tip and feed the movers. The simplistic answer is that yes, you should tip and feed the movers, but only if you feel like it.
Is $100 a good tip for movers? No matter the size of your move, it’s a good idea to tip your movers. Tipping between $50 and $100 per crew member for a full-day, larger move is a good place to start. A $20 to $30 tip for each crew member is standard for smaller, local moves that take less time.
Is $20 enough to tip movers? In general, you should tip your movers $4-5 for each hour they helped you. So if your move only took 4 hours and you were impressed with the service, tipping 16-20 dollars to each mover is considered an appropriate amount to tip.
What does double drive time mean? Double drive time is the time it takes for getting to the point of origin to the point of destination, and then back. In other words, if you move one block away, you will be charged for that one block ride, twice. On the other hand, if you are moving from San Jose to Oakland, you’ll pay for that drive twice.
