Frequently Asked Questions

Accepted Answer

Lugg is available Monday–Saturday from 7 AM–10 PM and Sunday from 7 AM–9 PM. You can book on-demand and have movers at your door in as little as 30 minutes, or schedule for the hour of your choice up to 60 days in advance. Hours may vary by region.

Question 2

Does Lugg provide in-home, room-of-choice placement?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every Lugg includes in-home, room-of-choice placement. Your Luggers will bring your items inside and place them in the room you choose, including upstairs or downstairs, as long as there's safe access. There's no extra charge for this — it's included with every booking.
A few things to prepMeasure doorways, hallways, and stairwells in advance to make sure your items will fit throughClear a path to the room where you want each item placedHave a backup plan — if an item doesn't fit in the intended space, let your Luggers know where you'd like it placed instead

Question 3

How many items are included in the price of the Lugg?

Accepted Answer

There's no item limit. A Lugg includes as many items as can safely fit in the vehicle you book, whether that's a Pickup, Van, XL, or Box Truck. Your crew will load everything they can in a single trip.
If everything doesn't fit in one load, you can add an extra stop to your booking for a second trip, or book a separate Lugg. For help choosing the right vehicle size, check out What are the dimensions of Lugg trucks and vans?.

Question 4

What are the dimensions of Lugg trucks and vans?

Accepted Answer

Lugg has six vehicle options. Compare the dimensions below to what you're moving before you book — and when in doubt, size up.
Lite: 6 ft+ long × 4.5 ft wide1 Lugger + pickup truck. Tailgate can be left open for extra length. Items are secured with straps. Your Lugger will bring a tarp, but we recommend an enclosed vehicle for rain or snow.
Pickup: 6 ft+ long × 4.5 ft wide2 Luggers + pickup truck. Same details as the Lugg Lite.
Van: 8 ft+ long × 4 ft wide × 4.5 ft tall2 Luggers + van. Enclosed, so better for weather protection. King and California king mattresses will not fit.
XL: 10 ft+ long × 5.5 ft wide × 6.4 ft tall2 Luggers + XL enclosed van. Fits king and California king mattresses.
Box: 12-16 ft long × 6 ft wide × 7 ft tall2 Luggers + 12-16 ft box truck. Not all box trucks include a lift gate. If you need one, mention it in the 'What are you moving?' field when booking and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Box+: 18-24 ft long × 6 ft wide × 7 ft tall2 Luggers + 18–24 ft box truck. Our largest option — ideal for 3+ bedroom homes, commercial relocations, and any job that needs maximum cargo space. Not all box trucks include a lift gate. If you need one, mention it in the 'What are you moving?' field when booking and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Vehicle upgradesAt times, Lugg may provide a complimentary upgrade to a larger vehicle to ensure a timely arrival — for example, sending a Van instead of a Pickup. This is usually a good thing, but if you need the exact vehicle you booked (like a Pickup for a refrigerator that needs to stay upright), reach out to our support team through our contact page, or via live chat on lugg.com or in the Lugg app and we can lock in your vehicle for you.
Not sure which size to choose?It depends on what you're moving, how bulky the items are, and how many items you have. For a quick breakdown, check out our guide on How to choose the best truck for your Lugg move or watch this short video for visual examples.

Question 5

How much does a Lugg cost?

Accepted Answer

Lugg pricing depends on your vehicle type, labor time, mileage, and a variable booking fee. Mileage is calculated based on the distance between your stops, not the route your Luggers take. Traffic, detours, tolls, and ferries never affect your price. There's no minimum labor time, no hourly minimums, and no surge pricing — ever.Rates vary slightly by city. You'll always see an upfront estimate on lugg.com or in the app before you book.Standard Lugg pricingStandard Luggs are charged based on five things:Base fare — covers your crew arriving at the first pickup location. Varies by vehicle size.Per-mile rate — charged for the distance between each stop on your route.Per-minute labor — the time your Luggers spend loading and unloading at every stop. For more details, see How does labor time work?Long-distance fee: added when your stops add up to more than 30 miles. See the breakdown below.Variable booking fee — covers Lugg's operational and safety costs. It's included in the estimate you see before you book.There's no per-stop fee on standard Luggs. Adding a stop adds mileage and labor time, but no flat surcharge.Standard pricing exampleSay you're booking a Lugg Pickup to get a couch from a Facebook Marketplace seller and deliver to your apartment 5 miles away, with a second stop 3 miles away to pick up a dresser.Base fare (Lugg Pickup): $38.00Traveled mile (8 mi × $2.24): $17.92Labor fee (25 min × $1.62): $40.50Booking fee: varies by city, distance, and durationEstimated price: ~$96 + booking fee. If your move takes less time, you pay less.Long-distance feeIf your stops add up to more than 30 miles, your Lugg includes a long-distance fee on top of the per-mile rate. It applies to standard Luggs and partner store deliveries alike, and to every vehicle size. It's shown in your upfront estimate and itemized on your receipt.First 30 miles: no added feeMiles 31 to 50: $2.00 per mileMiles above 50: $2.50 per mileLugg adds up the distance across all of your stops, then rounds up once to the next whole mile. A 40-mile route adds $20. A 60-mile route adds $65: $40 for miles 31 to 50, plus $25 for miles 51 to 60.The fee covers the distance between your own stops only, not the drive your Luggers make to reach your first pickup. Normal discounts and promo codes still apply. Labor-only bookings, organization-owned bookings, and custom or negotiated rates are excluded. For more detail, see Is there a long-distance fee?Partner store pricingPartner store deliveries — like from Costco, HomeGoods, Living Spaces, and other retailers — use a fixed price set at booking. The price you see is the price you pay.Partner store pricing includes:Base fare — varies by vehicle size.Per-mile rate — covers the distance from the store to your delivery address.Long-distance fee: added when the route is more than 30 miles, on the same tiers as standard Luggs. It's part of the fixed price you see at booking.Variable booking fee — same as standard Luggs, included in the price you see at booking.There's no per-minute labor charge on partner store deliveries. If you need an additional stop, there's a per-stop fee that depends on the vehicle size.Partner store availability and pricing vary by store and location.No hidden fees, everThere are no extra fees for stairs, floors, or building access. The labor time on a standard Lugg covers everything your Luggers do on-site, whether that's a ground-floor pickup or a third-floor walkup apartment.

Question 6

Does Lugg offer labor only moves?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Lugg offers labor-only moves. If you need movers but don't need a truck, labor only is your option. Your Luggers come to one location and help with the heavy lifting on site — no driving, no second stop.
How to book a labor-only moveWhen you enter your first address in the Lugg app, you'll see a Labor Only tile pop up. Tap it and the app automatically sets your pickup and destination to the same address. From there, choose your crew size — select Lugg Pickup if you need two movers, or Lugg Lite if you just need a hand from one. Pick your time and book — same as any other Lugg.
If you don't see the Labor Only tile, or you're booking on the website, just enter the same address as both your pickup and destination — it works the same way.
When to book labor onlyRearranging furniture — moving a couch to a different room, swapping bedrooms, or reorganizing your living spaceMoving items within your property — shifting things between floors, from the garage to a spare room, or out to a backyard shedLoading or unloading a vehicle you're driving — packed your own rental truck or trailer and just need muscle at one endReceiving a large delivery — a new appliance or furniture piece showed up and you need help getting it inside and placedEvent setup or breakdown — setting up tables, staging furniture, or clearing out a spaceHow is labor only priced?Same as any standard Lugg — you're charged by the minute for the work your crew does on site. No mileage charges since there's only one stop. For a full breakdown, check out How does labor time work?.

How do I tip or rate my Luggers?
