Apartment Moving in Athens

Student high-rises, eastside complexes, and last-minute lease moves done on the clock.

Apartment moves around Athens come with their own headaches: a downtown high-rise that only lets you reserve the freight elevator for a two-hour block, an eastside complex with a loading zone three buildings over, or a lease that ends Friday whether you are ready or not. Faster Moving Services moves quick on purpose, which is exactly what a tight loading window needs.

Our two-mover crew and truck is $119/hr with blankets, dollies, and tools on board; a three-mover crew at $168/hr is the call when you have a hard elevator deadline. A 1-bedroom typically runs $520–$820, a studio $320–$500. Loading- or unloading-only help is $119/hr with no equipment minimum if you just need muscle for the heavy stuff.

We Work Around Elevator and Dock Rules

For the student high-rises near campus and the bigger complexes off Lexington Rd and Atlanta Hwy, we plan around your reserved elevator slot and the building’s move-in policy so the crew hits the dock ready to go, not standing around burning your block.

Game-day weekends jam downtown traffic — we time pickups so a Saturday crowd does not eat your move.

What Athens Folks Tell Us

Megan R.

“Our elevator reservation at the high-rise off Clayton was only good for a two-hour block and I was honestly panicking. Wade's crew showed up early, had the dollies staged before our slot even started, and cleared my daughter's whole studio out with time to spare. The flat written quote matched the bill to the dollar.”

“Five Points charm comes with these tight 1920s staircases and our old sofa fought us the whole way. The two uniformed guys figured the angle out in about a minute and didn't put a single scuff on the wall. Called in the morning, had a real quote by lunch.”

Ashley P.

★★★★★

“The company I originally booked just never showed up and stopped answering. I found Faster Moving Services, Wade picked up himself, and they had a 3-mover crew at my Eastside place that same afternoon. Genuinely saved my closing date.”

Service Questions

Can you finish before my elevator reservation runs out?
That is the plan. We ask about your reserved freight-elevator block upfront and size the crew — often three movers at $168/hr — so the job fits the window. The crew shows up staged and ready to load, not setting up on your clock.
Do you move student apartments near UGA?
Constantly. We handle the downtown high-rises and the complexes off Lexington Rd, Atlanta Hwy, and Gaines School Rd, and we know how their loading docks and move-in rules work. We are an independent company with no University of Georgia affiliation.
My lease ends in two days — can you still help?
Very likely. We keep same-day and next-day slots open for last-minute moves. Call (888) 711-4778 with your address and elevator details and we will check what crews are free.
What does an apartment move cost?
A studio usually runs $320–$500 and a 1-bedroom $520–$820, or pay the $119/hr two-mover rate. Loading-only help is also $119/hr with no equipment minimum. We will quote you fast once we know the building.
