How are the cost estimates calculated?

Estimates are based on national averages for each home size and move type. Actual costs vary by distance, time of year, and specific services needed.

What's the difference between full-service and self-service?

Full-service movers handle everything. Self-service means you pack and load yourself. Hybrid options let you mix and match.

Which type of mover is cheapest?

Truck rentals are cheapest but require the most work. Portable containers offer a middle ground. Full-service movers cost the most but handle everything.

How do I choose the right mover?

Consider your budget, how much work you want to do yourself, distance, and specific needs. Compare at least 3 companies and check their claim rates.
