Before they book, Las Vegas households tend to ask us the same handful of things — what our Nevada license actually covers, how the flat rate gets built, what the deposit holds, and how crews are scheduled around the desert heat. Don’t see yours here? Send it through the quote form and someone in our own office will write back.
01 Good to know
Is PT Van Lines licensed to move households in Nevada?
Yes. Inside the state we operate on household-goods authority with the Nevada Transportation Authority (NTA), the agency that regulates Nevada movers, and any move that crosses a state line runs on federal USDOT and MC authority. Whatever documentation a Strip high-rise board or a Valley HOA wants on file, ask and our office will send it over.
Do you quote a flat rate or charge by the hour?
The usual route for a Vegas move is a flat rate that Ray prices up front and commits to writing, so the full number is settled before you book; locally, flat-rate moves open at $409 for a studio or one-bedroom. Prefer to pay hourly on a smaller local job? Two movers and a truck run $159 an hour, three movers and a truck run $219 an hour, and the one-hour minimum is waived. Whichever you pick, what's on the sheet is what you pay.
How much is the deposit, and is it extra?
Your date and crew are held with a $100 deposit, and it's no add-on — it comes straight off your final bill, which makes it simply the first slice of a number you were paying anyway. Only so many trucks roll each day, and through the busy summer the dawn slots empty first, so the deposit is what locks yours down.
How much insurance do you carry on my belongings?
Every shipment is covered up to a $1,000,000 cargo limit. The standard is released-value coverage at $0.60 per pound, and you can move up to full-value protection any time you want repair-or-replace coverage on higher-value pieces. Should a Panorama, Turnberry, or Veer tower require a certificate of insurance before move day, Dana issues it from our office in advance.
Can your crew pack for me, or do I pack myself?
Split it whichever way suits you. Hand the whole home to our movers for a full pack — boxes, paper, and wrap come with us, fragile pieces and all — or pack your everyday things yourself and leave us the breakables and the furniture. Desert conditions mean we go gently with candles, vinyl, electronics, and anything prone to warping in heat. Whatever the division of labor, packing rolls into your flat rate.
Do you store my things if my dates don't line up?
We do. A closing that slips or a lease that starts a few days late opens a gap, and short-term storage bridges it — your belongings sit padded, inventoried, and out of the heat in our care. Once your date is firm, the same crew pulls them back out and delivers, all on the same flat-rate approach.
Do you handle long-haul moves out of Las Vegas?
Yes, on our own USDOT and MC authority. Regular long hauls leave the Valley down I-15 to Los Angeles and north to Salt Lake City, over to Phoenix, San Diego, and Reno, and out as far as Denver, Seattle, Dallas, and Chicago. One truck and one crew cover the whole route, load to unload — your furniture is never handed to a second carrier somewhere on the road.
Are you a moving company?
Yes — PT Van Lines is a fully licensed and insured Las Vegas moving company, running our own trucks and uniformed crews on Nevada NTA and USDOT/MC authority. Despite the 'Van Lines' name, we're not a broker or an agent network; our own people load your home and our own people unload it.
How do you schedule around the summer heat?
From late spring through the monsoon, crews start at dawn so most of the loading is finished before the afternoon tops out at 105 to 115 degrees — that protects your belongings and the movers both. Late-summer dust and wind get watched too, with the truck sealed and the drive timed around them. In summer, book early: the early-morning slots fill before anything else.
