your belongings and inform them of the distance to your new home so they can quote you an estimate. • Look at the fine print. Check their cost estimate for hidden charges, insurance coverage, payment terms, and policy on item damage. Compare these with the other movers you’re considering and base your decision on your comparisons. When making your final choice for a mover to hire, remember that getting the cheapest mover doesn’t guarantee you’ll save. Cheap could mean mediocre service and damaged items, and you may incur other problems. Choose wisely, and consider the above factors.
RENTING A U-HAUL
The U-Haul truck you rent to load and move your things when moving to a different location is a less-expensive alternative to professional moving firms. Unlike movers, you do the packing, loading, and driving yourself. This could be a great way to save on moving costs, but only if you have a manageable amount of property to bring with you. The truck size matters. You must pick out the proper transportation for your impending move. While the objects from a one-bedroom apartment might fit a 16-cubic-meter truck, the content of a fully furnished three-bedroom house might require up to two or three trips of a 26-cubic-meter truck. Make sure you spare yourself a lot of grief and get the right size for your moving truck, especially if you’re facing a long-distance move. You can call your friends for help packing and loading your things into this rented truck. This will make it easier to move without professional help.
