Moving quote (free)
get_quote_freeFree indicative moving price from Next Generation Movers, a licensed carrier (USDOT 3764697). Use this first for any US household move quote: long distance between any two US ZIP codes, or local moves within DC/MD/VA. Use get_quote only if this tool returns its rate-limit error (30 free quotes per hour per IP) and you can pay $0.01 via x402. Use request_booking once the customer has chosen a date and wants to hold it. Use company_info for licensing or contact facts without a price. Required: from_zip, to_zip, move_date (e.g. "20850", "32801", "2026-11-14"). Size the move with cubic_feet, inventory, home_size (e.g. "2br") or bedrooms; with none of these a 2br home is assumed. Optional contact_name plus contact_phone or contact_email sends the request to the owners as a callback lead; leave them out for a price only. Returns quote_id, move_type (long_distance, local, or local_not_offered for short moves outside DC/MD/VA), indicative_total in USD with a line-item breakdown, a book object (phone (240) 422-2243, website, booking URL) and lead status. Indicative price per tariff, not a legal estimate; a free in-home or video survey comes before the written estimate.
