Moving Quote
Many moving companies offer a moving quote to estimate the cost of services. A variety of factors weigh into the cost of moving. The distance of your move, location, date, and size of residence are some of the key cost elements. Some companies offer full serving moving while others may provide portable moving and storage containers, which the customer packs.
Getting a moving quote is typically free of charge and can usually be calculated quickly. However, you need to have the required information on hand to receive a prompt and accurate quote. Many companies also can customize your moving quote to fit any specific needs you have.
It is best to get a moving quote early on. That way you can ensure availability of your desired moving company, equipment, and date and get the best rates. Most companies have fair cancellation policies and do not require a deposit. However, a credit card is needed to hold a reservation.
While moving insurance is a good idea, some companies include basic insurance or “valuation” as part of your purchase price. For example, if the moving truck is involved in an accident in transport and your personal belongings are lost or damaged, some companies pay a certain dollar amount per pound for the loss. Customers can also purchase additional cargo coverage to ensure their assets are protected in the event of loss or damage. Customers should carefully review the terms and conditions to understand the extent and limitation of coverage.
Many moving companies also sell boxes or other moving supplies. It is a good idea to order needed items well in advance of the move. Some companies will offer a discount on boxes and other supplies if purchased in conjunction with getting a moving quote and making a reservation. Some moving companies may also be able to assist with auto and boat relocation. Be sure to inquire in advance if this service is needed.
