Understand what a flat-rate moving quote should include and what details must be written down before moving day.
Quick answer
A flat-rate moving quote should include labor, truck, travel, furniture protection, access details, timing, and written exclusions.

A proper flat-rate quote should state the inventory, addresses, crew size, truck, travel, stairs, elevators, parking, packing needs, heavy items, protection, and delivery timing.
The quote can change if inventory increases, access details were missing, packing is unfinished, elevators are unavailable, or specialty items were not disclosed.
Compare what is included, not just the total price. A lower quote may exclude stairs, fuel, protection, travel time, or delivery conditions.
