    Collegiate Power Movers is fully licensed and insured in compliance with both Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) regulations.

    That means:

    • We meet all legal operating requirements

    • We carry proper insurance coverage to protect your belongings

    • We follow strict safety and transportation standards

    You’re not just hiring movers; you’re hiring a company that operates the right way.

  • Our pricing is based on factors like time, distance, and the size of your move. We focus on delivering value, not cutting corners, so you get a smooth, stress-free experience.

    Most moves are charged on an hourly basis, billed in 15-minute increments, so you only pay for the exact time we’re working.

    For larger, more complex, or long-distance moves, we may offer a flat-rate quote, so you know the full cost upfront.

    We always provide clear, upfront estimates and walk you through everything ahead of time, no surprises, no hidden fees.

  • We recommend a few simple steps to make your move as smooth and efficient as possible:

    • Labeling boxes clearly

    • Packing personal or high-value items separately

    • Packing as much as you can into boxes ahead of time

    • Clearing all walkways, hallways, and entrances for easy access

    • Disclosing any fragile or high-value items so we can take extra care

    • Letting us know about all items being moved ahead of time

    • Being ready for a quick walkthrough at the start

    We’ll also guide you through everything ahead of time so you feel fully prepared and confident going into your move.

  • Tipping is never required, but it is always appreciated.

    A typical guideline is around 20% of the total move cost, split among the crew. This is generally what we see as a standard tip amount, but we truly appreciate anything you’re willing to give.

    The best tip you can give us is referring us to friends and family or leaving a review—those go a long way and mean a lot to our team.
