How to Get an Accurate Moving Estimate

Hiring a professional moving service can help make your move smoother and easier. Before the actual move, your movers will give you a price estimate that reflects what you’ll have to pay for the relocation. The problem is, the final price often differs from the initial estimate by a great margin. Around Town Movers, the premier local movers, shares some tips to help you get an accurate estimate and avoid financial surprises.

Only Work With Licensed and Insured Movers

In the industry, there are dishonest movers that offer incredibly low quotes to attract more customers. Once they’ve secured your project, however, they add extra charges for additional services and unforeseen circumstances. This makes the final cost rise significantly, making the client pay much more than expected.

You can avoid these schemes by working with trustworthy apartment movers. Once you have a list of potential movers, research the company and confirm if they are properly licensed and fully insured with an excellent customer service history. Reputable movers like us will give you an accurate estimate because we don’t need to rely on schemes to get clients.

Request an On-Site Estimate

While an estimate given over the phone can provide an approximation of your moving costs, it can never be accurate. After all, the movers would have to look at your home and the items to be moved in order to determine the necessary services. Your shipment’s weight will also affect how many movers are needed so it’s important that they see them first-hand. Only then are they able to make a realistic estimate and tell you the entire cost of your move.
