Plan your move well in advance

Once you decide on a company, you’ll want to book them ASAP! Ideally, you should book a moving company at least a month in advance. If you’re planning to move on a holiday weekend or during the summer, you may want to book even further out as these are peak moving times.

Beyond booking in advance, be sure to budget! If you know you have a set amount of funds for moving, make sure you find a company that meets your needs. Compare multiple companies and get estimates in writing. You’ll also want to confirm there are no additional fees or charges to avoid any surprises on moving day.
