Allied Van Lines is an experienced full-service moving company that offers customizable local, long-distance, and international relocation plans. Allied’s add-on options include the transportation of most vehicles—from cars, trucks, and SUVS to boats, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. The company owns a fleet of carrier trucks, meaning you work directly with Allied on your vehicle transportation needs and not with a third-party agent.

Allied Van Lines offers both open and enclosed carriers. While open carriers are the most economical option, they do expose your vehicle to the elements. Enclosed carriers provide added protection from the outdoors during transport and are therefore ideal for high-value vehicles and classic cars.

Allied’s list of services includes:

• Full-valuation coverage
• Debris removal
• Boxes and moving supplies
• Custom crating
• Appliance disconnection and reconnection
• Fragile-only packing
• Shipment tracking

You can request an instant quote through Allied’s website, which will provide you with an estimate for your move based on the size of your apartment or home, where you’re relocating, and what time of year you’re planning to move. For example, Allied estimates that moving a two-bedroom home from Nashville to Oklahoma City in mid-April would cost between $7,127 and $8,152.

For a guaranteed rate, schedule a virtual in-home estimate. Allied Van Lines will calculate the cost of your move using the factors listed above, as well as:

• The size of your move, including the total weight of your items
• Any items that need special handling, such as crating
• Your home layout, including entry and access points
