The average cost of a long distance move is $3,500. This is based on an average weight of 7,000 lbs. (7 rooms) and a traveling distance of 1,000 miles. Obviously, there are many factors that go into calculating moving costs, so the best bet to know the true cost is to fill out an Instaquote or call 800‑689‑8684.
A full-service mover can provide assistance in your long-distance move. Here are a few points to ponder when choosing a long-distance moving company.
Does the Moving Company Provide References? Don't hesitate to ask the company for recent references and the types of experience they've had. Also, check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). A BBB accreditation means the business is in good standing and is trustworthy.
Does the Company Provide In-Home Quotes? A moving company may be able to give general pricing over the phone or online, but a company that shows up and inspects exactly what type and how many belongings will be transported is a better bet. The quote process will be more exact, eliminating surprises with the bill later on.
Does the Long Distance Mover Have Proper Licensing? Relocating across state lines requires special permits and insurance coverage to protect you and your belongings. Ask if the company has current permits and licenses. Shy away from any mover that hesitates to answer these questions.
Moving cross country may seem like a daunting prospect. If you've never done it before, it certainly is. However, there are steps that you can take to ensure your journey and that of your possessions, are as smooth as possible. There are 3 primary ways most choose to move cross country:
Hiring a professional moving company
Using a container service
DIY (do-it-yourself)
While a DIY approach may seem the cheapest for a long distance move, the process could involve hidden costs and challenges, including packing materials, truck rental, fuel, and the time and effort needed to pack, load, and unload. Therefore, hiring a full-service moving company like Allied Van Lines can often be a more affordable and less stressful option, providing value for money through their comprehensive services.
The cheapest way to move cross country will always be DIY, but saving money isn't everything. Moving is a daunting process and it can be even more challenging without professional help like with Allied Van Lines.
The average cross country move takes 2-5 days. That time frame can vary depending on the distance of the transport.
