Among the challenges that come with moving, the most apparent is the process of getting all your stuff into the new house. While smaller objects can be packed in boxes, most people own larger objects, like furniture and large appliances that require more room to move. If the new home is only a hop and a skip away, and you have access to pickup trucks and decently-sized trailers, you might be able to move everything in several trips carrying smaller loads at a time. But if you don't have such circumstances, that usually means hiring a moving company for extra hardware.

If you need to rent a van or truck, be sure to make the call to reserve one as soon as you know for sure that you're going to be moving. Depending on the season, there can be some heavy competition for a moving van. Be sure to clear up any questions or concerns with the representative at this time.

The various moving companies doing business today often have their own perks, price ranges and services. There are some companies that just offer vehicle or trailer rentals, but others may also have to option to provide a team of movers to help pack and unpack. Some will even help clean and box your items. You can look over the options available and determine which one best fits your circumstances and requirements.

If you hire a moving team, you will likely need to provide more detail to get an estimate of the cost. This may include such things as the number and size of the items being moved and the accessibility of both homes (this may entail such things as distance from the door to the parking area, the difficulty of finding parking and whether there are stairs or elevators).

After talking to company representatives, you should have a pretty good idea of what the cost of their services will be. Many companies add an extra premium to weekend moves, so you may find it a better option to move during the week. You should also consider what road and weather conditions are predicted to be during moving time.

Renting just the moving van is a more straightforward endeavor. You will have to handle the labor of moving yourself, maybe enlisting the help of friends, but it can cut down on cost. Moving companies have different sizes of vehicles available, and you can pick one correctly-sized for what you plan to move. You may need to clear up some other details, such as how to return the vehicle, and then you should be set.
