It may seem more intuitive and cost-effective to rent a truck and handle the move yourself, but this often neglects the unexpected logistics and equipment required for a successful, stress-free move. Professional movers already have experienced staff, equipment, and properly fitted trucks to handle the job. Hiring one also means the physical stress from a move is contracted out, reducing the chance of physical injury. It’s often a more worthwhile investment, as it means you can spend time focusing on and planning other important details of your move.
A professional mover should offer you a free quote in writing before your move, and the best way to ensure it’s accurate is to have them evaluate the items in person. The scales vary widely depending on the size of a home and the distance moved, but on average, a moving company will charge between $1000 and $6000. Local moves are usually based on the time it takes and the size of the moving crew, while long-distance moves are determined by the weight and move distance.
The term “best” is entirely subjective, but there are important metrics that will increase the probability a particular company will be able to meet your needs and ensure your move is a successful one.Take note of any awards the company bears, check their Better Business Bureau rating, and cross-reference the company’s reviews online to get an idea of the quality of service you can expect.When you find a company that seems to meet your needs, ensure they are fully licensed and insured, and be sure to ask for their DOT number to reference with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Absolutely, in fact, you should get several quotes from different moving companies to ensure you’re getting, foremost, a fair price, and secondly, the best price. You should also make sure you get an estimate in writing, so you’re not charged an unexpected amount after the items are already in the truck or otherwise in the possession of a moving company.
It is best to keep a record of the transaction in case of dispute, fraud, or damage to items. Tipping cash, between $20-$40, to each member of the moving crew is always appreciated.
