What to ConsiderLet's face it: moving is always a big pain in the butt. You have to pack everything up, carry heavy items around awkward corners and hope you don't break anything fragile. While you may be excited about moving into a new house or apartment, I'm willing to bet that you're not excited about the actual act of physically moving your belongings. That's where a moving company comes in handy.

Moving companies, while they are always going to be more expensive than moving on your own, save you a lot of energy and stress. There are so many things to worry about when you're moving to a new place (and potentially town), that the few extra dollars required to hire a professional moving company may be well worth it to you. Plus, once you've calculated your final U-Haul bill (including gas, mileage, and your time), you may find that the price difference isn't as big as you thought it was.

After you've done your comparison shopping and decided that your back and your sanity are worth saving, it's time to choose a moving company. Each moving company is a little different and will offer unique pricing plans and additional services. It's best to get quotes from a handful of moving companies before making a final decision.

The first thing to do is make a list of moving companies that service your area as well as the area that you're moving to. You'll want to compare their services, reputations and prices so you're sure that you're getting the best deal from a reliable company. Once you have your list, you can begin your research. Some things to consider when you're comparing moving companies include:

National or Local Moving Company? You may want to decide between a national moving company and a local one. If you're moving out of state or your move will include many large items and additional services, you may want to opt for a national moving company such as Atlas or Mayflower. These moving companies have a lot of experience moving people to all different areas under all different circumstances. They may be able to handle a bigger job better than a small, local moving company, or they may have policies and services that better suit you.

On the other hand, a local moving company may take more care with your belongings and work a little harder in order to ensure your happiness and keep your business, especially if you're moving locally. It may also be easier to negotiate rates and terms with a smaller moving company, since they are likely able to be more flexible with pricing. Do some research to ensure that the local moving company you're considering can handle your job before you make your decision.
