Best 5 Movers in Enid, OK

How to Choose the Best Local Mover in Enid

Consider each company's licensing, services, cost, and customer reviews before picking.

Determine Your Budget

The average hourly rate for a local mover in Enid is $63. Based on this, a standard two-bedroom move costs approximately $4,126 overall. Factors that contribute to your actual cost include your home size, the season, move distance, and any additional tasks you need done.

You should get quotes from at least three movers in your area. Request written estimates that break down the total cost and the hourly rate or flat fee. Keep your mover's estimate handy until the move is done to ensure fair pricing practices.

Read Customer Reviews

Customer feedback plays an important role for moving companies. Take time to read customer reviews on websites like the Better Business Bureau, Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yelp, and social media to identify moving companies that prioritize positive customer experiences.

Ensure Proper Licensing

Moving companies in Enid must follow different licensing requirements depending on their service area. If you are only moving intrastate, your moving company must have a Household Goods Certificate. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission's Transportation Division handles licensing for moving companies in the state.

If you're moving across state lines, the regulations are different. Interstate moving companies must be licensed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and must carry active United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Motor Carrier (MC) numbers. You can use these numbers to look up the company’s registration status and complaint history on the FMCSA’s mover registration search tool.

Services

Assess whether your chosen mover offers the services you need during the quote process. Get ready for the quote process by making a detailed inventory of your possessions and noting any services you may need. Discuss any specific requirements or unique circumstances with your moving company representative in order to determine if the company can accommodate your particular needs.

Types of Moving Services

For basic moves, full-service movers often include the following moving services in the standard price:

• Basic wrapping materials for furniture protection
• Loading and unloading
• Released liability coverage for loss or damage

When requesting a quote from your moving company, mention any services you require. Increased pricing may apply for the following services:

• Crating for art or antiques
• Extra flights of stairs
• Long carries
• Packing
• Piano moving
• Storage
• Unpacking
• Vehicle shipping

Tips To Consider When Moving in Enid, OK

Consider the following before moving to, from, or within Enid.

Schedule an Early Move

Enid sometimes sees its fair share of traffic, and navigating this can be more difficult in a moving truck. Getting stuck in traffic can lead to delays and impact your budget since local movers charge by the hour. We suggest scheduling before morning rush hour, which guarantees the movers beat the traffic and finish the move before evening.

Avoid Busy Season

The busiest time for movers—between May and September—coincides with Enid's hottest time of year. This can impact your move if you begin looking too late and can't find a moving company with availability. You should be able to schedule with your preferred moving company by reaching out to companies well in advance. However, keep in mind that the heat may still present challenges for your movers.

Pack in Advance

You should start packing around six weeks before your move. Pack a few boxes every day to avoid rushing when move day comes. Your movers may have some extra boxes with them for last-minute packing, but you shouldn’t depend on it. Most movers only move items that have been packed by the scheduled moving time, so you should finish your packing before they arrive.
