Moving Company Costs

Before you pack your first box it is important to know moving company costs so you can properly budget your move. When choosing a long-distance or local moving company in San Diego, you want to get the best value for your move. But before you contact a mover, we want to fill you in on all the things that affect moving costs, so you can be aware of where you might want to save money or spend a little more to save your back and your time.

Here are the top 5 factors that affect moving company costs:

1) Who will do the packing and unpacking?
Most moving companies offer packing. And while we all know how tedious and time-consuming packing can be, doing it yourself can be cheaper, though for many people it only makes sense to let the movers do it.
2) How much do you have to move?
Obviously, a one-bedroom apartment will be cheaper to move than a four-bedroom house complete with garage and appliances.
3) How far are you moving?
When you do a local move, most movers charge hourly, but when you do a long distance move the costs will be calculated differently, as the movers will charge based on what the freight weighs.
4) Do you live in a big city or a small town?
Like with most other goods and services, one of the factors that will influence your moving company costs is where you live. If you live in the city, it will likely be more expensive than if you live in a small town.
5) Do you have anything that requires special attention?
If you have things like grand pianos or wine collections, these items require special care to pack and move and, therefore, will increase your moving company costs.
