Why You Should Hire A Mover For Your Long-Distance Move
You're moving long distance, whether it's a few states away or just to another city in your own state. When you travel such a long way, you want to get your belongings to your new home without having to take several trips.
You may have considered hiring a mover, but aren't sure if the expense is worth it. After all, you can rent a moving van or truck and get a majority of your household relocated on your own. There are benefits to hiring a moving company, however. Here are just a few reasons why you should hire a moving company for your long-distance move.
You can save money
Rather than going through the expense of renting a moving vehicle, buying boxes and other packing supplies, and taking time off work to pack up your home, you can invest money in a moving company. In the end, the money you spend on movers — you'll get your estimate for costs at your initial consultation — can be cheaper than what you'd spend moving otherwise.
You can save time
If you have to be at your new home on a certain date, you can move and leave some of your belongings behind for a moving company to pack up and relocate for you. This saves you time and allows you to get kids settled into their new school and allows you to start your new job if you aren't quite packed up and ready to move completely yet.
You'll be assigned a moving coordinator, an expert who will keep you informed as to when your home will be packed up and when you can expect your things to arrive at your new home. You'll have peace of mind knowing that the time you would have spent packing up and moving on your own can now be spent getting settled in at your new house.
You can protect your things
Let professionals pack and move the items that are hard to keep safe, such as pictures, glassware, and appliances, rather than packing up these things yourself. Moving companies have insurance that will protect your belongings while in transit, which is something you likely wouldn't have if you moved your things on your own, unless you paid extra on your home insurance for the protection.
Hire a moving company for your long distance move for a less stressful, easier relocation experience. Your movers will take care of the hardest part of relocating to a new home that's far away from where you live now.
