Deciding whether to hire a moving company or do it yourself is usually the first question you answer when planning a move. Although both options have their pros and cons, the decision will ultimately come down to your specific circumstances. We've outlined a few moving options and provided information that may help you decide which approach will work best for you and potentially save you money on your move to your new home.
If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, you could save on moving costs by moving on your own or with a few friends and family members. In addition to cutting back on the costs of moving, you also can watch your belongings more closely, therefore reducing the likelihood of damage to your things. You also have more freedom, peace of mind and flexibility regarding your timeline. For example, some moving companies will let you return the moving truck within a generous time frame, allowing you to move to your new house at a more comfortable pace. This can also be a great option for smaller moves, such as a one-bedroom apartment.
Have you driven a moving truck before? Many people do not have experience driving a large vehicle of this size and may need a passenger to help check for cars when switching lanes. If you do not have an additional person to help you, you may find it difficult to maneuver the highways in the truck. And if you’re staying the night in hotels, have you added those costs into your breakdown of pros and cons? These are all details that should be taken into account when trying a DIY move. You may also need to think about the safety of your truck packed with your belongings staying in the hotel parking lot at night.
For example, if you are planning to go cross-country and across state lines for a bigger move, you will probably want to go with a full-service moving company that has experience in larger, long-distance moves. However, if you are moving within your current city, it may be most cost-effective to move yourself. Overall, choose the option that fits your situation best, whether that's pricing or a hassle-free moving process.
It depends on your situation and how much budget and time you have to move. If you're short on time, you can hire movers to handle the entire move, and some companies offer damage insurance. If you have more time and are concerned about pricing, a DIY move may be in your best interest.
A moving company on average costs at least $1,000 for a local or long-distance move. Typically, cross-country moves cost an average of $4,800. There are a variety of factors that can affect the cost of relocating with a professional moving company, including the size of your move, storage and fuel costs.
