Tips for moving to a new location

  • October 3, 2022
  • Jules

Maybe you fell in love with somewhere with incredible beaches or breathtaking mountain views whilst on vacation and you have now decided that you really need to live there. Great idea! But it will take a lot of planning before you can settle in and really start enjoying life in your new fabulous vacation location.

Moving can be costly, tiring, time-consuming, and stressful. To save the day, you can go for a well-thought-moving company and hand over your reins. Hiring a moving company within your budget can be confusing; thus, it requires window shopping. A guide will help you navigate the costs of different moving companies and factors that could affect the estimate.

Factors in Calculating Moving Costs.

The standard price range for hiring a moving company can vary. The dissimilar costs for numerous movers thrown at you can be confusing. Hourly rate, the price per mover, base fee, and truck fee are some of the few terms you may encounter. Here are some factors moving companies based on while calculating your moving costs. 

The number of movers- Moving companies, in all likelihood, will price you an hourly rate per person, approximately $25 to $50 per hour. Expect to be charged $50 to $100 per hour since most moving tasks require two or more movers to complete a job. Larger homes and spaces will cost you more (at least $200) because you will need more movers to move the contents. 

Moving vehicle size- The size of the moving truck hugely impacts moving costs since the bigger the size of the vehicle, the higher the moving price. Compared to a bigger truck, a smaller vehicle has the least costs because of the lesser cubic feet of storage and good fuel efficiency. Moving an entire household from a large space will require a bigger semi-truck or trailer, which will be more costly than a smaller home.

Distance and travel fees- Short distances (less than 100 miles), based on the household size being moved, you can easily acquire a quotation over the phone. Most local movers do not charge per mile but give a flat-rate travel stipend since it is effortless to estimate prices due to the shorter distance. Moving across states or longer distances (over 100 miles) does not qualify for flat-rate travel fees, thus will be more costly as you will be charged for time, mileage, and fuel. 

Accessibility- Moving companies will also evaluate how much access they will have to your home or space. For instance, moving heavy household contents in a building with numerous flights of stairs with no elevator will take more effort and time. An extra cost can be included in your total bill by the moving company depending on the difficult accessibility of your place. 

Amount to move- Moving between fully furnished apartments means you will have fewer personal items in boxes, thus reducing the total moving price. In addition to lower moving costs, it saves on time, effort, and fuel that would have otherwise been higher when moving between unfurnished apartments. Moving items from a bigger house will cost more than moving from a smaller space since you will require a bigger truck, several movers, and more time. 

Conclusion.

Moving to a new house or city may be thrilling, but not everyone enjoys the actual moving part, packing, and hauling. Many people opt to hire moving companies offering dependable support to safely and quickly complete the task. The movers will save you time and stress while you appreciate the advantage of cost-effectiveness and safe transport.
