In todays economy more and more consumers are turning to do-it-yourself moving options to keep costs down.
Now, I'd like to discuss a few of these options
Truck Rental:
If you are looking to save money on your move, this is the option that alot of consumers take thinking they'll be able to get the "Cheapest" move. Although costing less than a Van Line or Full Service company it is not the least expensive option out there today. Take the rising cost in fuel, the cost of food/hotels, and don't forget the added cost of your time.
There are options to choose from - There are a few companies that we have done business with in the past - Many will give you discounts and some will guarantee the lowest price - Be sure to get a few quotes to ensure you're getting the best deal.
Penske Truck
Budget Truck
Enterprise Truck Rental
Ryder Truck Rental
Truck & Driver:
This is an option that alot of consumers are NOT aware of. Since the economy started to fall more and more freight companies have started hauling household good shipments. This option in most cases is less expensive then renting a truck when you add everything involved. The company provides the space needed, the driver, and the fuel. Be sure to compare the companies below to the truck rental quotes you get above.
Bonhomme Logistics
UPack
Broadway Express
Movex (Pricing is higher than others above - My Opinion!)
Containerized Moving:
There are a rising number of companies that provide this very unique service. Somewhere between the cost of a Truck Rental and a Full Service Van Line you can have a container dropped at your home and then moved to your new home. In most cases the move includes up to (30) days of storage.
This option although a bit more than both options above does reduce the risk of claims to your household items. Packing a container tight is much easier than packing a truck or trailer.
