Refer a friend.
They move for less.
Know someone with a move coming up? Send them our way. We'll take 10% off their local move or 5% off their long-distance move — and hand them a crew that's earned 2,500+ five-star reviews doing this for a living.
- 10% off local moves
- 5% off long-distance
- Takes about a minute
- A happier move for a friend
Make the introduction.
Tell us who's moving. We'll reach out, build their quote, and apply the referral discount automatically.
Referral sent — thank you!
We've got it. One of our moving consultants will reach out to your friend shortly, with their referral discount already applied to the quote.
The best gift for a friend who's moving.
Everybody knows moving is stressful — the boxes, the logistics, the parking, the quiet worry about whether the movers will actually show up. If someone you know is about to go through it, you can hand them something better: a crew that's done it tens of thousands of times, and a discount on top.
Here's how our referral program works: When you send someone our way, they get a real discount on their move with Otter — and you get the satisfaction of being the person who made the whole thing easier.
Your friend gets the full Otter treatment — guaranteed flat-rate pricing, careful crews, free Certificates of Insurance, and our 99.5% customer satisfaction record — just at a better price, because you sent them.
From intro to discount, in three easy steps.
No codes to remember, no paperwork to chase, nothing to claim later. You make the introduction, we take it from there, and your friend saves automatically.

Fill out the form — it takes about a minute
Enter your details and your friend's name, email, and phone number. That's really it. The more you can tell us about their move (the date, the neighborhoods, anything tricky), the smoother we can make their first call — but it's all optional.
One small ask: only refer people who are happy to hear from us. We'll reach out to say hello, so make sure your friend knows it's coming.
A real consultant reaches out — with the discount already built in
One of our moving consultants contacts your friend to understand exactly what their move looks like — the size, the access, the timing — and puts together a guaranteed flat-rate quote with the referral discount applied from the start: 10% off a local move, 5% off a long-distance move.
No call centers, no promo code to type, no rebate to file later — the lower number is simply the number they're quoted. The one rule: it applies to the standard flat-rate quote and can't be combined with other discounts or promotions.
They get the move that makes them glad you sent them
Careful, trained crews. Custom wrapping and padding. Furniture taken apart and put back together. On-time arrival and flat-rate pricing that doesn't move on the day. The kind of move that turns into a story they tell — and another friend they send your way.
That's the Otter way: small things, done right. Go ahead and refer an-otter friend.
You're sending them somewhere genuinely good.
A referral is your name on the line, so it should go somewhere worth it. Here's the track record your friend is being handed.
Your friend is in good hands.
Whatever their move looks like, this is what comes standard with Otter — no add-ons required.
Guaranteed flat-rate pricing
The quote is the price. No hidden fees, no day-of surprises, no "actually it'll cost more" phone calls.
Careful, trained crews
Custom wrapping and padding for mattresses, TVs, and furniture, plus floor, corner, and wall protection.
Disassembly & reassembly
Beds, sofas, desks, and tables taken apart and put back together — included in the basic quote.
Free Certificate of Insurance
Most NYC buildings require a COI before move-in. Otter provides one free, for as many addresses as needed.
Licensed & fully insured
Licensed by the US DOT and NYC DOT, held to BBB standards. USDOT #3900819 · MC #01436980.
Optional extras, if they want them
Full packing, plastic bin rental, and climate-controlled storage are available to add on — never required, never automatic.
Sent by a friend. Glad they did.
Most of our customers come from someone who'd moved with us before. Here's what a few of them had to say.
A coworker told me to mention her name when I moved from Astoria to Long Island City. The discount was a nice surprise, but the crew was the real story — wrapped everything, reassembled my bed, done in four hours. I've since sent two friends their way.
My sister moved with Otter last year and told me to use them for my move to Boston. The 5% off was welcome, but honestly the flat-rate quote that didn't budge a dollar on the day was the part that won me over. Painless from start to finish.
My best friend referred me the week I signed my lease. I was dreading the whole thing and instead it was the easiest part of the month. Watching the team carry my couch down four flights without a scratch, I just texted her: thank you for this.
Know someone moving? Send them our way.
It takes about a minute, it costs you nothing, and it saves a friend 10% on their move (5% long-distance). That's a pretty good return on a one-minute favor.
"My neighbor referred us and I'm so glad she did. Kind, fast, careful — and a better price than anywhere else we'd quoted."
