Plan your move well in advance

It's time to book your moving services after you’ve had a chance to compare a few moving companies! Generally speaking, you want to book a moving company at least a month in advance, especially during the summer or holiday weekends when moving is more common. This will give you plenty of time to plan and pack.

You also should budget for your move. Depending on your possessions, the distance of your move, and the company you choose, you can find some good deals—but watch out for hidden fees and other extras that could run up your bill. With your budget in mind, you can compare quotes from several movers before making a final decision.

Should I tip my movers?

You don’t have to tip your movers, but they’d appreciate it! The best time to tip is when your mover presents you with the bill. Ideally, tipping $5 to $10 per mover per hour is welcomed, but you can give whatever amount you feel comfortable with. If you decide to tip as part of your credit card payment, let the mover know before you swipe!

Do I need to get moving insurance?

Generally, getting moving insurance is a great way to protect your stuff. Your possessions could be damaged, stolen, or lost in transit. Moving insurance can give you peace of mind by covering expensive items like musical instruments or jewelry.
