Some discount movers offer flexible pricing for off-peak times, smaller loads, or single-item moves — which can make a big difference if you’re only relocating part of your space. It may be worth asking about partial services that still fit your budget.

Kevin M. says, "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review I can’t say enough good things about this small moving company! They helped my daughter move into her own place at Ohio State University, and from start to finish, the experience was top-notch. I’m from the Washington, DC area, so being far away, I was looking for movers who were dependable, efficient, and trustworthy — and they absolutely delivered. They were on time, worked hard, and saved me both time and money. My daughter told me they made her feel so comfortable during the move, which gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. It’s rare to find movers who combine professionalism with genuine care, but this team did exactly that."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do I choose the best long-distance moving company?

First, compare the best long-distance moving companies by performing an online search for national or local moving services.

Pay close attention to the moving companies’ ratings and reviews. When reading the reviews, take note of any feedback related to the movers’ pricing, professionalism, ability to work quickly and whether the company has damaged customers’ belongings. You should also check to make sure the moving company has the proper license or insurance within your state. 

Once you’ve found a few movers that fit your criteria, contact the companies to get free estimates. Compare quotes between moves to decide if a quote is fair. And keep an eye out for any deals and discounts movers may be offering during non-peak seasons.

What is the cheapest way to move long distance?

The cheapest way to move long distance is to plan ahead. This allows you to capitalize on several money-saving strategies. For example, you may consider renting a portable moving container. These are often cheaper than moving trucks, though moving truck rentals are a great option for moderately sized homes. 

Planning ahead also gives you time to start looking around for free moving boxes and supplies. You might also be able to snag discounts from moving companies if you book far out in advance and ask movers for a deal. Try not to move during the peak season (spring or summer), as prices tend to be highest during that time.

Contact the best long-distance movers in your area to get free estimates and figure out a way to save money.
