Key factors that decide the moving cost to Alabama

Moving cost is a total sum of multiple costs that will be added to the moving quote. Several factors decide the cost of the move and here we have listed all of those factors-

Total distance covered Moving cost in Alabama is determined by the distance between the current location and the destination location. Moving cost is evaluated by considering multiple costs including gas price, truck type, demand of location and more.

Property size A huge property means a large number of belongings required to be moved. The larger the number of belongings, the larger is the truck size, more will be the cost of transportation. The move will be expensive for large-sized properties.

Moving services Each moving company is different and so is your choice of services request. Our moving companies offer full-service moving, which means they will provide all moving services including- packing, unpacking, loading, unloading and transportation.

Add on services The moving cost is affected if you have requested some additional services like shuttle service, junk removal service, and assembling and reassembling services.

Date of the move Moving cost is highly influenced by the date of the move. For a cheap move, plan your move in winter and during the weekdays. As summer is the peak season for moving, you may find extraordinary price on every move.

Storage service If you are moving out of Alabama for a short duration and request a storage service then it will add extra cost to your moving cost.

Moving insurance Buying moving insurance is an important step in move planning. It will secure your belongings while in transit.

All these factors determine the moving cost to Alabama. So, when you set your moving budget keep all these factors in mind.

Moving between Alabama other states in USA- What are your options?

Moving between Alabama and other states in the USA means you are planning a long-distance move. Now, the question is how you are moving between the two locations.

There are multiple options when you have to move over long-distance. The first is a DIY move, where you need to rent a truck and drive on your own for hundreds of miles. Apart from this in DIY moves for long-distance you have to bear the physical stress of handling the heavy items and other hassles as well. So, a DIY move cannot be the safest way to move to Alabama from another state in the USA.

The second option for a long-distance move is hiring a professional moving company offering either full-service moving or partial moving.

Full-service moving is highly recommended for long-distance moves as a team of professionals will take care of everything- packing, loading, driving, unloading and unpacking. This can be expensive but it will give you enough free time to handle other tasks like paperwork and saying goodbye to your family and friends.

Partial moving is another way of moving from other states to Alabama. It is cost-efficient as the moving cost is within your moving budget. But in this type of move, you have to pack on your own and professional help will be available only for loading and unloading. You have to rent the truck and drive yourself.

Hiring a moving company for Alabama move? Keep these factors in mind

So, finally decided to move with a reputable and qualified moving company. If yes, then keep some factors in mind before hiring a moving company for Alabama move-

Track record of the company If a moving company is new then it is hard to find the relevant information about the company and its track record. And if the moving company has been in business for several years now then you can easily find some details online. You can check the records of the moving company on platforms like FMCSA and BBB. On these websites, you can check the performance of the company, any complaints or handling of queries and complaints.

Recommendations from family and friends Once you pick the mover, research about it online but this cannot be completely trusted. So, ask about the mover to those people whom you trust more- your family and friends. You can ask your colleagues, family members, and friends about the moving company. As people move from time to time, they have experience with moving companies. Whatever they explain to you is more relevant than the reviews available on online platforms.

License and Insurance Licenses and insurance define the status of a moving company or carrier. If a moving company is a scam or broker then they might not have the insurance or moving license. Check out the status of the active licenses for the company and also the insurance. As for a state-to-state move, the moving companies must have a USDOT Number as well as an MC Number. You can also trust the Better Business Bureau data for relevant information about their licensing.

Services offered Verify whether the moving company is providing all the required moving services. Full-service moving companies offer- packing-unpacking, loading-unloading, driving and packing supplies. If you have any special moving requirements like vehicle transportation, storage and more.

Pricing If you hire a professional moving company, then they will provide you with transparent rates on your move. They will offer a moving estimate that will display all the costs included. Though the costs mentioned in the moving quote are the base price and any additional service charges will be extra and added to the moving cost.

Availability This is one of the major factors to keep in mind while booking a mover for the Alabama move. The availability of the choice of your mover on the preferred moving date. If you plan a move during the peak season then there are chances that mover might not be available. So, pick a moving date by keeping all the points in mind- weekdays are cheaper and weekends are busy and expensive.

Storage While moving you might need the storage service to keep your belongings safe. Discuss the storage requirement with your mover before signing any contract.

How much should I tip my mover?

Tipping your mover is completely your choice and no one can force you. If you feel that the moving crew work hard and makes your move a breeze then yes you can tip them Ideally, for a local move you can tip $20-$30 and for a long-distance move you can tip $50. However in a long-distance move, you have to give tips separately for the loading crew and unloading crew.
Is it a good idea to get rid of items while moving?

Yes, if you are moving to a new state and there are a few items in your house that you no longer need then get rid of them.
