How to Choose the Right Mover for You
Knowing which long distance moving company works best for your needs can help make your moving experience easier. Consider the following factors when doing your research:
- Budget: How much can you comfortably afford to spend on your move? (Consider factoring in some wiggle room for unexpected bumps or delays.)
- Custom items: Do you have any special, heavy or fragile items you need to move, like custom furniture or pianos? Look for movers that specialize in the services you need to achieve the best possible result.
- Your timeline: Some movers can get the job done in half the time of others, but a time crunch may limit your pool of potential movers. If you have time to spare on the move, you may have more flexibility in options.
- Type of move: Depending on how far you’re going, you may need a particular type of mover. Some companies are local-only or long distance-only while other companies cover all types of moves.
Expert Packing Tips for Long Distance Moving
- Prepare ASAP: As soon as you know when and where you’re moving, start creating a moving checklist and a moving budget. The more prepared you are at the beginning, the easier the process will be closer to the move.
- Get multiple estimates: If you’re unsure what the average price of your move will be, the best way to find out is to chat with multiple out of state moving companies. Gather estimates and make a pros and cons list for each company before deciding who will help you move.
- Make sure all your documents are updated: Working with a long distance moving company usually means filling out a good amount of paperwork. Make sure your driver’s license and any other documents are for an easier booking process.
- Get moving insurance: Most cross country moving companies are federally required to offer basic liability insurance, but you should have a few extra options (and third-party options) to consider. Depending on how much stuff you’re moving and how far you’re going, you may want to choose additional coverage for peace-of-mind.
Itemize everything: Create an inventory list as soon as possible and try to keep that same inventory list throughout the moving process. Your potential moving company will want a list so they can price your move as accurately as possible.
Factors that Influence the Cost of Long Distance Moving
- Whether you want to rent a portable moving container or hire a moving company: Renting a moving container is an option for those who want to stay thrifty, though you should know that your move will be more hands-on (on your part) if you decide not to work with a moving company who can handle a lot of the hassle for you.
- How many items you are planning to bring with you: If you have a two-bedroom house-worth of items versus a small one-bedroom apartment, your rates of course will increase with how much square or cubic footage your stuff will take up in a moving truck
- Where you’re going and coming from: The recent labor and material shortage affected the moving industry in not only pricing but availability for moving trucks and containers depending on the location of your new destination and where you’re coming from. For example, moves out of California to the east coast will be more expensive than the same-size move from the east coast out west simply because the shortage is affecting the west coast more.
The Quoting Process:
Step 1: Get Started
To receive a quote, submit your information above. You will only receive a quote from the current month’s top listed companies. Avoid submitting your information on other sites to avoid solicitations. The moving companies on comparetopmovers.com comparetopmovers.com text you first, set appointments, and walk you through the move process.
Step 2: Take Inventory
In order to give an accurate quote, you will have to tell your moving rep all the large items you will be moving, to calculate how much space you will need on the truck. Typically, when taken in cubic feet, small to medium household inventory can be taken over the phone. If you have more than a 2 bedrooms home, it’s recommended to schedule virtual walkthroughs. Due to Covid-19 and employee resource drawback, most companies have discontinued in-home walkthroughs.
Step 3: Gather multiple Quotes.
Make an educated decision. 3 Should be enough, 4 if you may. Moving rates are usually pretty standardized when dealing with ethical movers. If you see a big price difference in the thousands, you should be skeptical. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t the mover for you.
