Bears Moving Co. is an Atlanta-based, fully licensed (GA HHG #9320) moving company built for the city's mix of pre-war walk-ups, modern lofts, and single-family neighborhoods. We move families and businesses in and out of Atlanta every day with honest hourly pricing and zero hidden fees.
Atlanta is in Fulton County. Headquartered in Atlanta — same-day availability city-wide. Drive time is inside our standard hourly rate — there is no Fulton County travel surcharge and no per-mile fuel fee.
Atlanta moves split cleanly into three logistics buckets, and the bucket determines the crew size and truck we send. In-town high-rises (Midtown, Downtown, parts of West Midtown) almost always require a reserved freight elevator window, a Certificate of Insurance naming the building 24+ hours in advance, and a pad/cardboard wrap on elevator interiors — we handle all of it as part of the booking.
Pre-war and bungalow neighborhoods like Inman Park, Grant Park, Virginia-Highland, and Old Fourth Ward come with narrow porches, original hardwoods, and street parking that disappears during weekday rush — we time-shift those moves to 9am or 1pm starts to dodge the worst of it.
Single-family neighborhoods on the south and west sides (West End, Adair Park, Capitol View) typically have driveway access but older trim and tight stairwells that need door-jamb pads. Our dispatcher pre-screens every Atlanta booking against the I-75/85 connector, the Downtown Connector, and current GDOT closures so the crew rolls with a working route, not a guess.
Most in-town Atlanta moves are billed at our standard transparent hourly rate with a 2-hour minimum. Studios and 1-bedrooms in Midtown and Old Fourth Ward typically finish in 2–4 hours with a 2-mover crew. 2-bedroom condos and bungalows in Inman Park or Virginia-Highland run 3–6 hours with a 2- or 3-mover crew depending on stairs. 3-bedroom homes on the south/west sides typically run 4–8 hours with a 3-mover crew.
Drive time between any two in-town Atlanta addresses is included — there is no separate travel-time line item, no fuel surcharge, and no per-stair or per-flight fee. The most common upsell trap with other Atlanta movers is a low advertised hourly rate that excludes the truck, fuel, or insurance — ours always includes them.
We move in and out of the high-rises along Peachtree Street and West Peachtree (Viewpoint, SkyHouse Midtown, 1010 Midtown, The Atlantic), the lofts off Krog Street and Edgewood, the bungalows around Grant Park and Inman Park, the Beltline-adjacent townhomes from Old Fourth Ward to Reynoldstown, and the larger homes in Ansley Park, Brookwood, and Atkins Park.
Our crews know which Midtown buildings have a 6am–8am loading window and which require weekend appointments only, where to stage on Krog Tunnel without a parking ticket, and which streets in Inman Park don't allow 26-foot trucks. We've moved offices in and out of Tech Square, Colony Square, and Ponce City Market, and we issue COIs for all of them.

Call us: (404) 514-4814 · Mon–Sat, 8am–6pm · Licensed GA HHG #9320 · BBB A+
Crews who know Atlanta's loading docks, COI requirements, and one-way streets — no day-of surprises.
Same-day or next-day availability for most local Atlanta moves under 4 bedrooms.
Specialty handling for Midtown high-rises, Inman Park bungalows, and Buckhead estates.
Most Atlanta jobs book 1–3 weeks out, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Fulton County fill first. We confirm crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing when you book, and we call the morning of the move with the crew's ETA. If a building or HOA in Atlanta needs a certificate of insurance, we issue it within 24 hours of getting the property manager's requirements.
Moving blankets, shrink wrap, straps, dollies, floor runners, and door-jamb protection come on the truck at no charge, along with bed disassembly and reassembly and TV dismount. Drive time to and from Atlanta is billed inside the hourly rate rather than added as a trip charge, and there are no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator fees.
Midtown (Ponce City Market lofts, Atlantic Station); Inman Park (Krog Street Market lofts, Inman Park Village); Old Fourth Ward (Ponce City Market, Historic Fourth Ward Park); Virginia-Highland (N. Highland Avenue shops, Virginia-Highland bungalows); Grant Park (Zoo Atlanta, Grant Park Farmers Market); West End (Lee + White development, West End MARTA). Our crews scope parking, dock access, and elevator reservations for each address before move day rather than improvising on arrival.
We handle both directions at the same hourly rate — Atlanta to intown Atlanta, Atlanta to the northern or southern suburbs, and long-distance origins within Georgia. Because we are a licensed Georgia household-goods carrier (GA HHG #9320, USDOT #3657392) and fully insured, we can also handle the paperwork buildings and property managers ask for.
Usually yes — most Midtown high-rises (Viewpoint, SkyHouse, 1010 Midtown, The Atlantic, etc.) require a reserved freight elevator window and a Certificate of Insurance 24–72 hours in advance. We handle the COI request and elevator booking ourselves; if your building has next-week availability, we almost always do too.
Yes — Old Fourth Ward, Reynoldstown, Inman Park, Cabbagetown, and the Edgewood/Krog Street corridor are among our most-frequent move zones. Our crews know where 26-foot trucks can stage without blocking the trail, which streets are one-way, and which buildings (Stove Works, Telephone Factory Lofts, etc.) need elevator reservations.
We pre-route every job around the Downtown Connector, GA-400, and I-285 based on day-of GDOT alerts, and we time-shift in-town starts to 9am or 1pm to dodge rush hour. Drive time stays inside our hourly rate, so a slow connector doesn't pad your bill the way a per-mile mover would.
Yes — GA HHG Mover #9320 covers all intrastate household-goods moves in Georgia, including the City of Atlanta. We're also BBB A+ accredited and carry full cargo and liability insurance on every move, with COIs available within 24 hours for any building that requires one.
