Moving Service: Is It For Me?

“Should I hire a moving company?” is a question that worries people on the move. The answer, of course, depends on several factors including time, money, and the complexity of the move. Moving across Pembroke Pines, FL may not require you to get moving services. However, moving across the state or the country will certainly make you get one.

Before deciding on whether or not you need to pay for moving services, take time in answering these two questions.

How much stuff do you have?

The number of things that you will move will certainly affect the cost of your moving. Most companies offering moving services count the number of bedrooms to determine the cost of the service. The number of bedrooms determines the truck size needed to transport your things. Here is a sample truck-size guide from U-Haul:

  • 26' = 4+ bedrooms
  • 24' = 3-4 bedrooms
  • 17' = 2-3 bedrooms
  • 14' = 1-2 bedrooms
  • 10' = an apartment

If you are not bringing all your stuff to your new place, tell it to the moving company. Some companies that offer moving services also offer storage services to their clients.

How far are you moving?

Distance is another determining factor in the cost of your moving. Truck rental companies have different rates depending on the distance between Point and Point B, as well as whether you are moving one-way or return. One-way moving costs 50% more than returns.

Aside from truck rental, you also have to factor in gas costs and mileage. Once you have an idea about these costs, compare it with the price that you have to pay if you hire moving services. Go for the option which makes you save money.

The Final Decision

Once you have answered those two questions and decided that you need to call moving services, then it is time to find which moving company you will hire. Most people recommend that you hire a moving company that also offers storage services. The packing will certainly make you sort the things that you use from those that you don’t. Why bother moving the things that you don’t use in your new place? It will only take an extra storage space. So if you cannot get rid of them due to personal reasons, the best way is for you to pay for storage services in Pembroke Pines, FL. This way, you won’t be bothered by extra baggage as you make your move to your new home.
