Moving company quotes always give you an idea about how much you should put aside for your relocation. There are many factors that influence the moving quotes and you can use the moving estimate calculator to check out the costs by yourself using this calculator. All you need is to fill in your present location and the relocating destination, the move size like a studio, single bedroom, double bedroom, villa etc, the packing services that you would like to avail whether basic, partial or full and finally the moving date for you to have an instant  cost estimate. However, before choosing the moving company based on the moving company quotes you should make sure the moving company is fully licensed and insured to handle the moves. It is also important that you check out if  they have at least 5 years above experience in the moving industry that speaks about their reliability in the industry.
 

 

Once you are sure about the moving company's authenticity to carry your move, you should closely observe on how they are offering the moving quotes. It is not at all practical to accept the quotes offered by the companies without visiting to your home. This is because many times your belongings may not be bulky though you live in a 5 bedroom house. So let your home size alone, not determine the weight of your move. Always request the mover to estimate your belongings before they actually provide a moving quote. Once you have a moving quote ensure that it is binding and there are no more hidden charges in any other form. This is very important as some movers may charge you extras and pressure you to pay the excess to complete the moving process. Similarly, choosing the moving date can also influence your moving costs as many prefer weekend moves that is a bit expensive otherwise you can avail some discounts moving for a date that has less demand.

 

Apart from getting the best moving company quotes it is also important that you check out if the movers are FMCSA registered and are rated by the BBB. You should also ask if the movers have their own vehicles for the move and the job shall be handled by themselves instead of leaving on a subcontractor. It is also better if the moving company provides storage facility so that you can leave behind any of the items that can be collected at a later stage after you settle down in the new place. Ensure that an insurance coverage is offered for all your belongings so that you need not worry about any damages during the transit process as any damage shall be compensated by the insurance company.
