How much does International Van Lines cost?
These prices are right on par with standard industry rates. When you consider the top-notch service that IVL provides (more on that later), it’s actually surprising that the company’s prices aren’t a little higher.

Getting your IVL estimate
Obtaining an accurate quote is one of the most difficult aspects of working with International Van Lines, as you have to provide a full inventory of what you’re moving, when, and where. You’ll also need to submit your full name, address, and phone number.
That said, IVL’s thorough online and over-the-phone quote process is far more accurate than instant quote generators used by other companies. You’ll fill out an entire inventory of how many beds, dressers, couches, tables, and even unusual items (like canoes) you’re moving so you can ballpark the price of your truckload.
What’s included in every International Van Lines move
- Basic furniture assembly and disassembly
- Loading and unloading
- Use of pads, blankets, ties, and straps for furniture protection
- Moving items up or down one flight of stairs
- All tolls, mileage, fuel, and taxes (unless otherwise listed)
- Liability protection ($0.60 per lb. per article, only up to $10,000)
Pricing on long-distance moves
International Van Lines has moving services worldwide
(All are way safer than hiring a stranger off Craigslist.)
Plus, International Van Lines has moving coordinators to help guide you through the global moving process: they can explain customs inspections, international transit times, and additional charges for cross-border moves.
These added charges will vary based on your move, but expect increased costs if you request door-to-port service, which requires you to pay port and terminal handling charges (THC) at the destination port.
