Summary |
We recommend Allied if you want to ship a vehicle due to the company’s in-house vehicle relocation services. |
We recommend North American Van Lines (NAVL) as the best long-distance mover overall because of its customizable insurance packages, highly rated customer service, and extensive service options. |
We recommend JK Moving Services for its ability to offer financing options through its partnership with Enhancify and its high-end, white-glove packing services. |
We recommend International Van Lines (IVL) if you want the most moving service options possible. The company boasts one of the most extensive moving service catalogs at highly competitive rates. |
We recommend Safeway Moving Inc. for condo or HOA residents. The company has a special focus and training on the regulations and problems that may arise with these moves. |
We recommend American Van Lines if you’re moving high-end items or antiques because it focuses on training its staff to move difficult and valuable items. |
We recommend 1-800-PACK-RAT for partial-service moves because of its simple and affordable storage and transportation solutions. |
PODS is ideal if you want to take the time to pack and load your belongings for your move. We also recommend it for its moving and storage solutions. |
We recommend Moving APT because of its highly rated customer service and its ability to quickly provide you with multiple quotes for its partner companies. |
We recommend U-Haul if you prefer to handle the entire moving process yourself, from loading to driving. The company offers several rental options that are perfect for moves of various sizes. |
We recommend Mayflower for moves with more than five bedrooms. Its fleet, service areas, and specialized large-home service options offer more flexibility than other movers. |
We recommend Interstate Moving & Relocation Group as a reputable broker if you need to move quickly. The company’s customer service is prompt, and its broker network helps you find a vetted mover fast. |
We recommend U-Pack if you’re moving on a tight budget. You can save big if you’re willing to handle most of the labor yourself, but the company also offers third-party assistance. You can expect packing, loading services and more when moving with U-Pack. |
We recommend Zippy Shell if you’re seeking flexible moving and storage solutions at a competitive price—especially if your move is within the urban areas where Zippy Shell has its storage facilities. |
