To help you understand what you are getting into before you move here are the main parts that make up a moving companies moving rate.
Miles
The number of miles is a large part of a moving rate. If you are driving a rental moving truck then you will need to add the cost of gas to your overall cost, they will not charge it. If you are going with a moving company where they do the driving like a full service rental company or a container moving company then they are going to add the gas to your quote.
Time
Every day your things are moving you are going to have to pay for. That also means the days you have them store your belongings to. If you are driving than you won’t be paying for the labor because you are the labor. If they are driving then you will be paying extra for the labor

You are going to pay for any extras you get like boxes, people to pack and load, and extra rented equipment. These extras depend on what type of moving company you decide to go with.
Don’t be afraid to ask about any charge both on your quote before you move and your bill after.
