How the Long-Distance Moving Quote Process Works

Getting started is simple. Share a few details about your move, review your needs with a moving specialist, and make sure the information used for your estimate accurately reflects your relocation.

Prepare for Your Quote

What Should You Have Ready for a Moving Quote?

You don't need to have every detail finalized before getting started. However, providing accurate information about your move can help make the quoting and planning process much smoother.

✓ Pickup city or ZIP code

✓ Destination city or ZIP code

✓ Approximate move date

✓ Home or apartment size

✓ General household inventory

✓ Large or specialty items

✓ Stairs or elevators

✓ Packing requirements

✓ Storage needs

✓ Parking or access limitations

Helpful tip: An accurate household inventory is one of the most important pieces of information when discussing a long-distance moving estimate. Be sure to include items in garages, patios, closets, storage areas, and other spaces that may be easy to overlook.

Know Before You Move

Understanding Your Long-Distance Moving Estimate

A moving estimate should reflect the household goods and services included in your move. Understanding the type of estimate you receive and reviewing the details carefully can help you plan with greater confidence.

Binding Estimate

A binding estimate is based on the household goods and services listed in the written estimate. If your inventory or requested services change, the estimate may need to be revised.

Non-Binding Estimate

A non-binding estimate provides an expected cost based on the shipment and services identified at the time the estimate is prepared, but the final charges may vary.

Review What Is Included

Before moving day, review your inventory, requested services, access conditions, pickup and delivery information, and any additional charges or terms shown in your estimate.

Remember: If anything about your move changes before pickup, such as the number of items being moved or the services you need, update the information as early as possible.

Long-Distance Moving Quote FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions before requesting your moving quote? Here are answers to some of the most common questions about long-distance moving estimates, pricing, and preparing for your move.

Is requesting a long-distance moving quote free?

Yes. There is no charge or obligation to submit your move information and request a quote. Providing your pickup location, destination, approximate move date, and move size is enough to get the process started.

What information do I need to get a moving quote?

Start with your pickup and destination locations, approximate moving date, and the general size of your move. Information about your household inventory, packing needs, stairs, elevators, specialty items, storage, and property access can help provide a clearer picture of your moving requirements.

What affects the cost of a long-distance move?

Long-distance moving costs can be influenced by the distance of the move, shipment size, move date, requested packing or storage services, specialty items, and conditions at the pickup and delivery locations.

How can I make my moving estimate more accurate?

Provide as complete an inventory as possible and include any services or access conditions that may affect the move. Don't forget items stored in garages, closets, patios, attics, sheds, or storage areas. If your inventory changes, update the information as early as possible.

How far in advance should I request a moving quote?

It's generally better to begin planning as early as possible. Requesting your quote several weeks before your preferred move date gives you more time to review your moving needs and prepare, especially during busy moving periods and summer months.

Can packing services be included with my move?

Packing assistance can be included as part of your moving plan when requested. Be sure to mention whether you need full packing, partial packing, moving materials, or help preparing specialty items when discussing your quote.

Can storage be included with a long-distance move?

Storage options may be available when your pickup and delivery dates don't line up or when you need additional time before receiving your household goods. Mention your expected storage needs when requesting your quote so they can be considered during planning.

Can my moving estimate change before moving day?

Changes to your household inventory, requested services, pickup or delivery conditions, and other details can affect an estimate. Review your information carefully and communicate any changes before moving day whenever possible.
