I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived EARLY, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

If you're getting ready to move from DC to Cambridge, MA, WellKnown Moving Company is here to assist from beginning to end. Our teams work in both locations, and we offer flat-rate moving services, so your price won’t change unexpectedly.

We organize the move for you and make sure everything arrives safely and on time. We're FMCSA certified, which means we follow national safety rules, and we’ve earned good feedback from our customers.

A move from DC to Cambridge usually takes one or two days. If you’re relocating to Central Square, Harvard Square, or a nearby part of the city, our team will handle it with care. We also help people moving from Cambridge back to DC.

đź’ˇ Insurance Is Always Included. Basic insurance is part of every move we do. There’s no extra charge for this—it’s already included in the price.

Movers Who Know the Route and the Rules

We often travel the main highways like I-95, I-495, and I-90. We’re familiar with busy traffic areas and know how to plan around them. In Cambridge, we understand the city’s parking rules and how to handle moves in buildings that ask for a Certificate of Insurance. Whether you're moving into a house or an apartment, we know how to handle it. We work across DC, Cambridge, and nearby towns, so we can plan your move according to your schedule.

Experienced Teams and Fully Stocked Trucks

Each job is led by a foreman with at least three years of experience with long-distance moves. Our movers go through background checks and are trained in how to lift and pack things safely. We bring tools to help with larger or fragile items, and all our trucks are stocked with padding and straps to protect your belongings while they’re in transit.

We Plan the Move Around Your Situation

Before moving day, we’ll contact you to ask about how many items you're bringing, what you need packed, and whether storage is needed. Based on that, we’ll send the right crew and equipment. If you're only moving furniture or want to save money by sharing the truck with someone else, we can arrange that.

Clear Pricing from the Start

We give you the final price upfront. The cost stays the same, even if there are a few stairs or short stops along the way. The only time the price may increase is if you’re moving something very large or heavy like a piano or a safe. We ask for a deposit to hold your move date, but if you cancel at least two weeks in advance, we’ll refund it.

Before you arrive in Cambridge make sure to apply for a parking permit for your moving truck. Cambridge has specific rules, and having the permit ahead of time can help you avoid any issues or fines on moving day.

What to Expect in Cambridge, MA

Cambridge is a lively city with deep history, known for schools like Harvard and MIT. It mixes older homes and buildings with modern shops and green spaces. The area has plenty of parks, coffee shops, local stores, and places to enjoy music and art. Many people like to spend time around Harvard Square or walk along the Charles River. Parking can be tricky, but the public transportation system, including the Red Line and local buses, helps people get around easily.

If you want somewhere quieter, areas like North Cambridge and West Cambridge offer that. Neighboring towns like Arlington and Somerville give you more space while still keeping you close to the city and its universities.

No matter why you're moving—work, school, or a fresh start—Cambridge is a city with plenty to offer. WellKnown Moving Company is ready to help you move with care and keep the process simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Moving to Cambridge with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more! 

Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you. 

Sometimes. Renting a moving pod (like PODS or U-Pack) can cost less than hiring movers, especially for longer moves or if you’re okay with doing the loading and unloading. But if you need help packing, carrying heavy items, or don’t have much time, a moving company might be a better choice. It depends on how far you’re going, how much you’re moving, and how much help you need.

Tuesday or Wednesday. Midweek days in the middle of the month usually have the lowest rates. Try to avoid weekends, holidays, and the start or end of the month, since prices are often higher during those times.

Yes, if the work is done well. It’s common to tip $20–$40 per mover for a local move. For longer or harder jobs, the tip can be higher. You can also tip based on 5–10% of the total bill. If the movers are quick, careful, and polite, a tip is a good way to show you appreciate it.
