Bill the owner of Urban Flat Rates is a man of his word and very reliable. I called him just 2 days before Christmas for a large move-in job from Manhattan Mini Storage to a 4th floor walk-up. Bill quoted me a fair and decent rate that was affordable considering the size of the job, unlike other moving companies charging astronomical rates. His movers are great guys and did a wonderful job — nothing was broken or damaged. You can't go wrong!
Urban Flat Rate has been helping me and my friends move for the past 8 years in NYC! They are very professional, fast and most importantly trustworthy! They have helped me move my entire life almost every few years, and twice in situations when I was completely remote and out of the country! They are the best price on the market and the best to work with. Highly recommend!
Bill and Fernando were awesome! Super communicative and professional, arrived right on time and got my move done so quick on an unexpectedly snowy day in NYC. They were both friendly and helpful, not to mention they had the most competitive price of all the quotes I got. Love that they do all size jobs, I will for sure be calling them again next time I buy furniture off FB marketplace.
Bill and his team are our "go-to" movers for New York City and surrounding areas. They have moved commercial, residential, construction site materials, and storage units for us for nearly a decade.

Great rates, great guy, great team.

I have to say I have used professional movers before. Urban Flat Rate are the best I have used. Bill and his crew went beyond my expectations. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
By far the best moving experience I've had. They were quick to reply to all my emails, gave estimates to my constantly changing needs. Were on time, quick, friendly and didn't break anything. And they were about half the price of everyone else.
Always so friendly and efficient. Bill is very flexible and the guys are great. I've used them for all my moves in NYC and never looked back!
Bill and the movers are very helpful and kind. They used professional supplies to make sure things are packed up safely. Very reasonable price and there are no surprises when it comes to the final cost! Strongly recommend!

Super positive experience with Bill! Very professional movers, very fast and efficient, and at a fair, great price. Would highly recommend!
Urban Flat Rate Saved My Move — Even on Labor Day! I cannot thank Bill and his team enough for rescuing me from a moving nightmare. After a well-known mover doubled my fee mid-move and left boxes behind, Bill picked up on Sunday and arrived Monday with Leo, an expert packer, and gave a fair, transparent quote — no holiday surcharge. By 8:30 PM I was completely moved in. Bill and his crew were professional, fast, and incredibly accommodating.
