Budgeting for your moving expenses is an important part of the relocation process, and knowing more about how a moving estimate is put together helps you make sure you get the help you need without paying more than you have to. Learn about three important factors that could have the strongest influence on how much it costs to hire movers.
Which Moving Services Do You Need?
Many moving companies break down their quotes by the type of services you need. You may pay less if you pack your own belongings and the movers only need to load boxes and furniture into the truck. Some services may be included, such as the assistance of a moving concierge for your questions.
How Many Rooms Are You Packing Up?
A larger home with more furniture and boxes requires a bigger truck or multiple moving trucks, and a bigger team of movers. In addition, many moving companies charge by the weight of your belongings, so more items can increase your costs.
How Far Are You Relocating?
A cross-town moving estimate is likely to be less than one that takes you to another county or state. It may be easier to find a mover with an hourly rate for a local move versus the per-mile rate often charged for longer-distance moves.
