What to Know About Rabbit Moving & Storage
Rabbit Moving & Storage has built a loyal following in Brooklyn and Queens through honest pricing and reliable crew work. They're particularly well-suited for apartment moves in walk-up buildings, where their experienced teams navigate tight staircases efficiently. Pricing is competitive for the outer boroughs, though their hourly model means your final bill depends on how quickly the crew works — a variable that's hard to control. Their storage options exist but aren't their strongest offering. For straightforward local moves, Rabbit is a solid mid-tier choice. However, they lack the infrastructure for complex moves involving specialty items or long-distance logistics. The hourly billing model is their biggest weakness — customers report stress about the clock ticking during moves. Movd's flat-fee approach eliminates this anxiety entirely, giving you a locked-in price before the truck arrives. For Brooklyn and Queens renters who want predictability, Movd's flat-fee packages connect you with crews just as close and capable as Rabbit's, but with guaranteed pricing. Hiring any moving company directly means you vet the crew, negotiate the price, and pay them yourself on move day. Booking through Movd instead is a protected transaction: your price is approved up front from your full inventory, and your payment is held by Movd until after your move.

How Movd Protects Your Move
With Rabbit Moving & Storage — or any moving company you hire directly — you vet the crew, you negotiate the price, and you pay them yourself. With Movd, the transaction itself is protected:
You pay Movd — not a crew on your doorstep
Book with a $50 deposit. Your card is pre-authorized before the move, the balance is charged only after your move is complete, and Movd releases your mover's payout after the job is done. No cash handoffs, no doorstep renegotiation.
A price you approve before anyone lifts a box
Your quote is computed from your full inventory and building access up front, and every package includes a built-in volume buffer so small misses don't change your price — backed by the $2,500 Move Guarantee.
No negotiation, no sales pressure
Input-based and approval-based: enter your move, review the computed price, book it. No phone haggling, no bait-and-switch, no on-site renegotiation.
A vetted, accountable crew
Every Movd fleet partner is pre-vetted, DOT-licensed, and insured, and Movd handles the Certificate of Insurance paperwork with your building — someone stands behind the move besides the crew itself.

Why NYC Movers Choose a Protected Move
Real Movd customers on booking a price-approved, payment-protected move
"Moving a piano in NYC is no joke, but the crew handled it like pros. The flat price was clear before we booked, and there were no add-ons after the fact. Saved about 25% versus other quotes."
Emily L.
Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan • Piano move
"Fourth-floor brownstone walk-up and I was braced for a stair fee. Nope — stairs were already in the flat rate, and there was no overage on move day. Exactly what they quoted."
Marcus B.
Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn • Walk-up move
"Our flat rate was locked in up front and came in about 30% under our DIY estimate. Nothing was damaged, and the digital inventory tool kept us organized the whole way. Zero surprise fees on move day."

Upper West Side, Manhattan • Local move
