Are you planning to relocate to a new home this year? If so, you’ll want to choose a Gainesville long-distance moving company that fits not only your budget but also covers your moving needs. While you’ll likely have plenty of options, each moving company offers its own benefits and special services. Choosing a moving company that’s the perfect fit for you will save you time and money.
Will you be moving in the summer? If so, it’s especially vital that you book your move in advance. While it’s always a good idea to preplan no matter which month you move, locking your plans into place for a summer move as soon as possible is a strategic move. Doing so will ensure there is a moving crew and vehicles available, as moving companies often become booked to capacity in the warmer season.
As you’re considering all of your options, be sure to take note of moving companies that partner with major van lines. Those van lines will meet licensing requirements for the mover to move your items out of state. For moving companies that are unaffiliated with van lines, don’t forget to ask them whether they are licensed to perform moves among multiple states. Another tip is to check into prior customers’ reviews. You’ll get a thorough idea of the company’s reputation this way.
Another factor you’ll need to think about when choosing a moving company is whether they offer storage options. If there will be a significant gap between the time you leave your current residence and move into your new one, be sure to ask about short-term (and even long-term) storage options.
No matter which moving company you choose, they’ll be required by law to provide free basic valuation coverage. This type of coverage offers reimbursement dependent on the item’s weight instead of its actual value. If you want further protection, consider investing in full replacement value protection. Some companies may not offer this more comprehensive type, so be sure to inquire.
Before your moving date, spend some time thinking about what items you can get rid of to save on moving expenses. For example, consider donating your old furniture and other unwanted belongings. You can also save money by choosing to move small and delicate items yourself, so you don’t have to pay for full value protection.
