The company also offers several related services, such as packing, unpacking and storage solutions. Star Van Lines will even haul away your old furniture and other junk — whether you’re moving or not.

Star Van Lines does both residential and commercial moves and will do them either locally or long-distance. While you can’t get an exact quote online, its website does feature a moving cost calculator and portal to request a quote via a phone call.

Star Van Lines costs

Star Van Lines estimates that the minimum cost for a move is about $350. However, costs vary based on several factors, including move distance, move size, time of the year and any add-on services. The $350 estimate is for a studio or one-bedroom home requiring just a few hours to move locally. For comparison, the company estimates a 2,500-mile move of a four-bedroom home will range from $3,200 to $5,200.

Keep in mind these numbers are very rough estimates and don’t take into account specific furniture or belongings you might need to move. Moving costs can vary widely, so it’s best to get a direct quote from the company.

Star Van Lines provides an online moving cost calculator and quote option to estimate costs. You select the major items that you expect to have to move, such as appliances and furniture, as well as your starting location and destination. The tool will then give you a ballpark figure for what your move will cost. Note that this is an estimate only and subject to change.

    Moving can be stressful, especially when coordinating everything as a single parent, but Star Van Lines helped make the process much easier. While there was a small hiccup at the start — they couldn’t arrive on the originally scheduled day — they came the very next morning and handled everything smoothly from that point on.

    My son and I had most things packed, except for some larger furniture like a king-sized bed. The movers were friendly, professional, and worked efficiently to load everything and organize it perfectly in our storage unit. They didn’t just move boxes — they paid attention to detail and made sure everything was secure and easy to access. I appreciated their attitude so much that I tipped them for their great service.

    What really impressed me was how responsive Star Van Lines was from the beginning. They were the first company to call me back — within 20 minutes — and they explained everything clearly. As a businessman, I understand pricing and value, and while the cost felt a bit high at first, the quality of service made it worth it. The estimate was based on an itemized list I provided, and there were no unexpected surprises. The crew showed up on time, communicated well, and treated the job with care and professionalism. This was a local move, and having reliable help — especially when you can’t rely on friends like in the old days — made all the difference. I’d definitely recommend Star Van Lines to anyone looking for a smooth, respectful, and efficient moving experience.

      When I had to plan my move from Bradenton, Florida to Las Vegas, Nevada, I read so many different reviews from so many different companies and was absolutely terrified! When I came across the reviews for Star Van Lines. I reached out and contacted them after receiving a call and text from Justin **. The moment I spoke with Justin, I felt so much at ease. He was so straightforward and honest and transparent in pricing and I felt very confident that I had made the right choice. I was not pressured. I was not rushed. I was sent a proposal and allowed the time to review it and make my decision if I wanted to give a down payment or not. Justin did not disappoint. My items were picked up on the schedule day at the scheduled time and they arrived well before my expectations as a matter of fact, they arrived before I did, but I had a storage unit set up and my brother was there.

      I would love to give a great big shout out to the actual mover. Who did my move, Serhii **! He transported my life’s belongings from Florida to Nevada. He kept in touch with me, gave me his personal cell phone and all went amazingly perfect. I did not have any up charges. I did not have any extras. My items were not held hostage as you read in so many reviews from so many different companies. I highly recommend Star Van Lines for your next life’s journey.

      Star Van Lines was responsive and has excellent customer service. Initially, we encountered a hiccup when they couldn't arrive on the scheduled day. Still, once they came the following day, everything went smoothly. My son and I had most of our belongings ready for transport, except for a few heavy items like the king-sized bed. The movers were incredibly helpful, efficiently organizing everything in the storage unit. They were friendly and very professional, and I even tipped them for their great service.

      The decision to go with Star Van Lines was reinforced by a positive interaction I had initially; they were the first to respond among the companies I reached out to, providing a callback in 20 minutes. Although I later felt that the cost was somewhat high, the quality of service justified it. I’m a businessman and understand market dynamics, so their attentiveness and thorough explanation of the process were appreciated.

      Regarding how the estimate was achieved, I provided a list of items to move, and they quoted me based on that inventory. Ultimately, the whole experience left my family and me very satisfied. The crew was courteous, punctual, and effectively communicated all details of the move. This was a local move and their reliability was invaluable since I no longer could call in friends for heavy lifting like the old days. I’m happy to recommend Star Van Lines to others seeking efficient and friendly moving services.

      I was shopping around and spoke to the salesperson from Star Van Lines. He was quite friendly and explained the entire process to me. The move went smoothly, and although I had to pay a bit extra due to underestimating the number of boxes, it was within an acceptable range.

      The salesperson informed me that the initial quote was just an estimate, which turned out to be accurate as the final cost was only about $100 more than expected. Their team was efficient in packing the items I hadn't packed myself and completed the task promptly. The same crew handled both the pickup and delivery, which added to the consistency and comfort of the experience. Despite a small expected transit time, they delivered well within the timeline.

      Overall, I would recommend Star Van Lines to friends and family. They met my expectations by providing good service and effective communication throughout the entire process. The financial aspect was fair; the rates were fluctuating, but with an early scheduling, they ensured everything went smoothly. I appreciated the call they made a day or two before the move for confirmation. It's not the cheapest service around, but it was reasonable, and I didn't find the price to be outrageous.

      I asked colleagues and friends and they recommended Star Van Lines. I called and used them for my local move of 45 miles and the experience with them was notably smooth. Interestingly, the person who provided the quote turned out to be the owner, who also took part in the actual move with a team of employees. This personal involvement made the process seamless as he was fully aware of what needed to be moved.

      In terms of pricing, their quote was consistent with other moving companies, but unlike others, they readily gave me a quote without insisting on a pre-visit, which saved time and avoided the inconvenience of having multiple people inspect my home. The quote was almost identical to the final cost, which was refreshing compared to the others who provided rough estimates that could vary substantially.

      The move itself was quick and efficient, with the team assisting in wrapping up some items without any additional charge, which I found to be a nice touch. They handled everything carefully, and I'm happy to report that nothing was damaged in the process.

      If a friend or family member asked for my opinion, I would confidently recommend Star Van Lines for their reliability and professional service. Overall, I had a great experience with them and wouldn't hesitate to give them a high rating.

      I was deceived. Spoke with Justin at Star Van Lines. Was told they were not a broker, that they pick up our move and same guys drive it to FL. Wrong! Star Van Lines did not pick up. Another company picked up and told me we exceeded the cubic square feet in the truck. What? I told them I had 100 boxes, a couple of bikes and some art work. I was never told about cubic feet. I don’t even know how to measure cubic feet. I paid Star Van Lines $2300 and then this other company charged me another $2500. What a scam!! It gets better. I finally get a text that our things are going to be delivered 9 days later. Just said 5 days max. The company making the delivery is Tiptop Van Lines and wants remaining payment on delivery. At least four boxes were leaking liquids because the boxes were handled/probably thrown around so often. Do not work with this company.

      The worse company to help you move. Hard to believe there are positive reviews on this site. This company does not communicate. They hold your furniture hostage until you pay the higher amount to move. They don't take credit. Everything had to be paid via wire money. Provided estimate for a move of $13, 000. Ended up $22,000. Do not, do not, use this company to move. No honesty. No integrity and will hustle you out of money!! A lot of missing items damaged items paid for insurance and no one's returning my calls!!!!

      I received an estimate from Fred for my move at approx. $3,300. Today the movers are here and refuse to take the items for the price estimated. They will only take it for $5,100 approx. Fred has been completely unresponsive to my calls and only sends a few unhelpful short texts. Avoid this company. Hopefully my items make it to their final destination. Absolutely ridiculous at how unresponsive he is.

      WORST MOVING COMPANY TO EVER EXIST. This company lacks professionalism and communication. I would not trust them with any move that is time sensitive. As requested, I gave them a down deposit, but the agent I booked with did not notify the movers of my appointment, so the day of my move the movers did not have me in their schedule. After calling 4 different numbers over 10 times, they finally told me hours after my appointment window already ended that they could not help me. Use any company, except this one.

      Do not use this company! Very unprofessional and unethical. Changed the date to arrive, the day of! When they finally arrived (36 hours later) they tried to DOUBLE the cost. Claimed we had more items than listed on contract which was not the case. They said we had a king bed but it was a full size bed. Also stated we had “way more boxes” than what was listed. The contract stated 16 medium boxes and we only had 15 (I even had them numbered). We argued with them for over a hour until they finally honored the contract. Contract included 30 days of storage. Furniture was to be delivered the week of July 14. I had to call them multiple times, asking for a delivery date. Would not give me a date. Finally got the number to the manager (?) Nick. After calling him multiple times over a 5 day period, we finally got a delivery date. Furniture was finally delivered August 14! Very shady and questionable organization!
