What to look for in a long-distance moving company

First, you should look for a company that offers binding estimates. If a company’s estimates aren’t binding, it can increase your price at a moment’s notice, even on moving day. When you get a written estimate from a moving company, it should say the words “binding estimate” on it. If it doesn’t, don’t agree to it.


You should also check a company’s coverage options. Great coverage costs extra, but every reputable moving company offers basic liability coverage for free. Basic coverage won’t do much if your stuff gets broken or lost, but it’s a good litmus test of a company’s quality. If a company doesn’t have basic liability coverage, do not use it.


Finally, you should consider whether to use cartons or plastic turnover boxes. It is recommended to rent plastic turnover boxes from the moving company, which can be recycled. The cartons are disposable. Using plastic turnover boxes greatly reduces the cost of moving.
