Holiday season 2026–27
Moving interstate over Christmas and New Year.
The days with no pickups, what the season does to your price, and how to get the date you want.
Does moving at Christmas cost more?
Not with Pea. There is no peak-season premium: a December or January weekday is priced exactly like one in October. Only three things move a date's price, all year round: a weekend pickup (+$150), a pickup inside 7 days on an exact date (+$200), and flexible dates, which take 5% off the linehaul.
Booking early pays too: a pickup 30+ days away, which today means Monday 14 December or later, can use code PEA10 for 10% off, up to $200.

Getting the date you want
- Quote now and accept early: space on each truck is first come, first served.
- Give us ±2 days or ±1 week if you can. It costs less, and ±1 week also gets the first space on the next truck going your way.
- Every lane page shows the next eight weeks of pickup dates, each priced, so you can see the cheapest days before you quote. See the cheapest days on every lane.
