When you're planning a move, one of the biggest questions, aside from what to pack or which removal company to choose, is when to move. Believe it or not, the day you move can significantly affect the price and experience.
At Gago Movers, we’ve helped thousands of people move across London and beyond, and we know a thing or two about how timing affects your move. So, if you're looking to save money and reduce stress, here's what you need to know.
What’s the Cheapest Day to Move?
The cheapest days to move house are usually midweek, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays. These are the quietest days for most removal companies, which often means:
- Lower prices
- More flexible time slots
- Faster moving service
- Less traffic on the roads
By contrast, Fridays and weekends are the busiest (and often the most expensive) times to move. Many people choose these days because they don't want to take time off work, which creates high demand. Removal slots fill up quickly, and prices are usually higher.

Does the Time of Year Matter Too?
Yes. Seasonality plays a big role in moving costs. For example:
- Summer months (June–August) are very busy and more expensive.
- End of the month is also in high demand as tenancies change.
- The cheapest time to move is typically during the winter months or mid-month days.

Why Timing Can Help You Save
Choosing a cheaper day isn’t just about paying less. It can make the whole move easier. When moving on a quieter day:
- Your movers are likely to be less rushed.
- There’s more time to handle last-minute changes.
- You can avoid long waits due to high traffic or other bookings.
And if you're flexible with your schedule, you may even get a discounted rate, especially if you're moving during off-peak hours. Ask us about this when you book!
