Ready to move, but not sure how much you’ll have to spend or which company to hire? Acquiring moving estimates before you decide which company will complete your move is a critical step in the moving process. Estimates allow you to compare the cost and services of various moving companies to assure you are getting the best deal possible.
How to Get a Moving Estimate
Once you have the list of moving companies that you are considering, give each of them a call to set up an in-home estimate. These estimates are generally free of charge. During the estimate, the moving specialist will assess the number and type of items that you are moving and the distance the items will need to travel. The specialist will then provide you with an estimate of the cost of your move.
Some moving companies provide online estimates. Be wary of any estimate that you get online; it is difficult to estimate the cost of the move without seeing the items in person. Additionally, most online estimates are non-binding, so you might end up with a much heftier bill once the movers actually put the items on the truck.
Comparing Moving Estimates
Once you have obtained estimates from at least 3-4 companies, it’s time to compare the offers. Pay attention not only to the total cost, but to what is including in the move. Does the estimate include the use of boxes or other packing supplies? Will you be charged extra for long distances or stairs needed to access your home? Read the fine print carefully, and ask your estimator what is not included in the quoted price so that you can accurately compare the estimates.
Negotiate, Negotiate, Negotiate!
You have compared your moving estimates and decided which company you like the best. But don’t accept any moving estimate before negotiating. Ask your top choice movers to price match your best offer and to throw in any extras that aren’t included, such as wardrobe boxes.
Obtaining a moving estimate is a crucial step to a successful move. By comparing estimates and negotiating for the best offer, you can make moving a more pleasant experience.

Picking the Right Moving Company?
With so many different moving companies available to choose from, getting estimates from any that you are considering using is the key to choosing the best available moving company for your move. There are three major reasons that estimates are the key to helping you decide between moving companies.1. Estimates help you stay in budget.When hiring a moving company, you will want to find one that will get you the most for your money. Getting an estimate from a company will help you to determine if their services are within your pre-determined budget. Comparing estimates from various moving companies will allow you to narrow down your options and find a company that will work best for you.2. Determine the end cost.Various moving companies will factor different costs into their estimates. Factors including the insurance of your belongings, the distance of the move, fuel surcharges, additional labor costs and processing fees should all be considered in the end cost. Not all estimates will include all of these charges. Some of these charges may not be applicable to your situation, also, but may be included in the estimate. Examining the estimates and considering the additional costs will help you to determine which company is actually the best value.3. Evaluate the services offered.Various moving companies offer different services as standard, while charging extra for additional services. Getting an estimate of the standard services, as well as estimates for the additional services available, will help you to determine the approximate total cost for each of the moving companies you are considering for your move.Knowing there are multiple moving companies to choose from, getting an estimate from each moving company can save you money and help you to make an informed choice as to which company to hire for your move. Comparing and contrasting the various services included in each estimate will help you to get the most for your money and will help you to avoid paying for services that you do not want or need.Do your research and read the fine print in order to choose the moving company that is right for your move.
