LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
What to know about moving in Richmond
Richmond is 25 minutes south of Lexington on I-75 and an Eastern Kentucky University town, so August and May are the busiest weeks and the apartment complexes along the Eastern Bypass and Lancaster Avenue run tight move-in windows. Downtown Richmond's Main Street blocks are narrow with on-street parking, a 20-foot truck fits where a 26 does not. The newer subdivisions off Duncannon Lane and Barnes Mill Road are straightforward driveway moves.
Peak season
May, June, July, August, September
Weekend slots fill 2–3 weeks out during peak months. Book early.
Crew recruited from Eastern Kentucky University, Berea College (nearby), university-affiliated, background-checked, accountable.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked about Richmond moves
How much does it cost to move in Richmond?
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 Richmond. 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 Richmond do you serve?
We serve all areas of Richmond including Downtown Richmond, EKU Campus Area, Eastern Bypass, Duncannon, and more. If you're anywhere in the Richmond metro area, we can likely help. Call (859) 407-4897 if you're unsure.
