LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
What to know about moving in Downtown
Downtown Lexington is the historic core, with loft and condo conversions in early-1900s buildings around Main Street, the Distillery District, and Jefferson Street. Streets are narrow and often one-way, parking is metered or in garages, and many of the older buildings have a single service elevator. Reserve a loading window and confirm elevator access with the building before move day. Transylvania University and the University of Kentucky are both minutes away.
Peak season
May, August, September
Weekend slots fill 2–3 weeks out during peak months. Book early.
Crew recruited from University of Kentucky, Transylvania University, university-affiliated, background-checked, accountable.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked about Downtown moves
How much does it cost to move in Downtown?
Every move is priced by the hour. The rate is locked before we start, with no stair fees, fuel surcharges, or hidden add-ons. Two movers run $112 per hour, and most moves run $200–$350 total for a 2-person crew over 2 to 3 hours. Larger homes that need a third mover or more hours run higher, with the rate locked before we start. Truck rental is separate if you need one. If we finish early, you pay less.
Do I need to provide a truck?
We're labor-only movers. You rent the truck from U-Haul, Penske, or Budget. We handle all the loading, unloading, and heavy lifting. We'll tell you the exact size to get and can book it for you if you want.
What's the Show-Up Guarantee?
We're confident enough in our show rate to put $50 behind every booking. We've completed 314+ moves in the Lexington area. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, let us know and we'll knock $50 off your final bill.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Undergrads is a fully licensed and insured moving company in every market we serve, including Downtown. Every move includes $1,000 in damage protection. If you're moving into a high-rise or building that requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI), contact us. We handle COI requests before move day.
What neighborhoods in Downtown do you serve?
We serve all areas of Downtown including Downtown, Distillery District, Jefferson Street, Short Street, and more. If you're anywhere in the Downtown metro area, we can likely help. Call (859) 407-4897 if you're unsure.
