The moving industry offers many options today, from professional movers to labor helpers. No matter your household size, choose the right type of move for you and your family. Use our guide to make the process easier.
Types of Moves
Choosing the right moving date directly affects cost, availability, and move efficiency. Summer is the busiest season for residential moves, and demand spikes can raise prices by 20 to 30 percent. Planning your move during off-peak months, usually from late fall through early spring, often leads to lower rates, flexible scheduling, and faster service from professional movers.
This guide explains how to choose the best time to book movers based on the size, distance, and complexity of your move so you can balance timing, budget, and convenience.
When to Schedule a Move
If any of your items are damaged or lost during a move, you must document the damages and file a claim. What is the process for reporting and filing a claim for damaged household goods?
Filing Claims for Damages
Before you move, create a detailed home inventory that lists each item, its condition, and any serial numbers. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) notes that insurers use this type of inventory to confirm ownership during a claim. A written list supported by photos or videos provides your insurer solid proof if something is lost or damaged in transit.
Moving Inventory
