Newton Parking Permits and Moving Truck Access
Newton requires a Temporary No Parking permit for any moving truck occupying a public street space, issued by the Newton Department of Public Works at least five business days in advance. Our team handles the full application: we submit the request, post No Parking signs 48 hours before your move, and verify the space is clear on moving day.
For condo buildings and gated communities, we coordinate elevator reservations, loading dock access, and any required Certificates of Insurance with property management. This is one of the most common sources of delay on a Newton move — one you will not need to worry about when you book with us.
What Does It Cost to Move in Newton?
- Studio or one-bedroom condo: typically 2–3 hours of crew time
- Two-bedroom condo or small house: 4–6 hours
- Three or four-bedroom single-family home: 6–10 hours
- Larger estate properties in Chestnut Hill or Waban: full day or two-day moves
Newton-specific factors that affect pricing include long driveway carries, narrow street access, multiple staircases in Victorian-era homes, and specialty items. We provide a detailed written estimate before moving day so you know exactly what to expect.
Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Newton
Do I need a parking permit for a move in Newton?
Yes, in most cases. Newton requires a Temporary No Parking permit for moving trucks occupying public street spaces. We handle the permit application as part of our standard service at no extra charge.
How far in advance should I book Newton movers?
For local Newton moves, book 2–3 weeks in advance. For long-distance moves, book 4–6 weeks ahead. During peak season (May–September), especially around the September 1 Boston lease cycle, earlier booking is essential.

Yes. Our crews are trained for specialty items with the right dollies, straps, protective materials, and insurance coverage. Mention these items during your quote so we can plan crew size accordingly.

Yes. Continental Moving carries comprehensive cargo insurance and general liability. We provide a COI for any condo or commercial building that requires one — most Newton condo associations do.
Do you offer storage for Newton moves?
We coordinate short-term and long-term storage through partner facilities — useful when there is a gap between move-out and move-in, or when downsizing requires temporary storage.
