moving2Trusting a company with your most valuable possessions and a big move is a serious decision, but if you have to hire a company to help you move, here are some helpful tips to make sure you choose the right moving company.

Essential Tips To Help You Choose The Best Moving Service

Find out if the company is able to conduct business legally. If a moving company is going to help you move across state lines, then they must have a DOT license number from the federal government. Ask to see that and then check it out on the federal government website, ProtectYourMove.org.

Get a price quote in writing. You certainly don’t want to get bilked by your moving company. The related expenses of moving are bad enough, but if you get ripped off by your moving company, it can make it harder to start off well in a new location. In order to avoid any potential loss or confusion down the line, you should get a price quote in writing.

Make sure you get the right insurance: Nothing is worse than a box of damaged or broken fragile goods. When you get to your new location and find a few boxes’ contents are completely ruined, it will make you wish you had gotten the right insurance. There are different levels of liability that the mover has when they are transporting your goods. Federal law stipulates that movers must offer a couple of different insurance options: “released value” and “full value protection.”

Full value is comprehensive coverage that will cost you a little more, but the mover will have to reimburse or replace any item that is damaged or lost during the move, at full value.
