Check Out What Customers Say About Bellhop Movers in Chicago
They were all fantastic, on time, efficient, and careful with my sister's belongings. I wasn't sure what to expect and was beyond satisfied with the work everyone did. I would recommend all of them again and should I need to move (hopefully not) I'll use this service. Carlos, Alex, Delvis, and Martin were great to work with. I highly recommend.

Book worry-free, thanks to our industry-leading cancellation policy
Life is complicated enough, so let’s keep things simple: You can cancel your move in Chicago free of charge up to 72 hours before your reservation date.
If you cancel within 72 hours of your reservation date, you will forfeit your previously collected 10% deposit and be charged a $200 late cancellation fee. We need to do this in order to make sure our movers are covered, and so we can help other customers.
Booking a last-minute move? If your move is booked under three days out, we'll only charge you the deposit and cancellation fee if we've assigned a team to you prior to your cancellation.
Easy enough, right?
