# Apr 4, 2022 Going Local

By [Miranda Boettger](https://insights.pricepointmoves.com/blog/author/miranda)

We’ve recently announced a simplification of the pricing process for local moves within PricePoint Portal. There is now a new shipment type available in Portal called “Local”. Users now have the option to use Local Tariffs, Local Rates Calculator, and Local Moves for pricing and managing door-to-door (DTD) moves that occur within the same city.

Previously, movers had to create origin, freight, and destination tariffs for a move occurring within the same city. This caused unnecessary work and confusion. Now, a mover simply has to create one local tariff that covers all door-to-door charges. 

 

This feature is now available to all our users:

- **Agents**: Use **Local Tariffs** to create and price local door-to-door moves quickly and easily. Simply enter one location and one tariff for that location to create a local tariff.
- Bookers: Use **Local Rates Calculator **to get local quotes by entering only one location. 
    - *INTL Portal Bookers, please contact *[support@pricepointmoves.com](https://info.pricepointmoves.com/contact-support)* with the desired coordination fee/margin (ex: flat amount or %) that you wish to add on top of your tariffs for local moves.*
- **Portal RMC/Corporate users:** Use **Local Moves** to request rates, check your suppliers’ prices, as well as award and manage local moves. Local Moves are created almost the same as INTL or CONUS, except you only need to enter one location.

#### General FAQs

- **What is a Local Move and when should I use it?**
- **What about “Extra Location” supplementals?**
- **What about existing “local” moves?**

We hope this new feature will help simplify the pricing process for local moves. Please contact us if you have any questions.
