Other types of websites will offer a form that you can fill out and submit to multiple companies, so that the companies bid against each other and offer quotes for you to review. This gives you the benefit of saving time, since the movers are coming to you with their business.
Moving on a budget is about getting the best moving deals for your money. With a little bit more legwork, you might be able to use the phonebook to find a local mover or moving company. Again, there may be discounts or coupons offered that are found only in the phonebook or when you mention that company’s particular ad.
The most important piece of getting good moving deals is comparing the options. If you are going the route of using movers, look at the services offered versus what you are paying. Put each company side-by-side to figure out who’s going to give you the most for your money. Does anyone offer packing supplies? Do they load and unload belongings, or just drive the truck? Do they charge by the mile? Remember that you get what you pay for, as well. A discount mover might cost significantly less, but if they are just a couple of guys that aren’t licensed, bonded and insured, they could cost you everything you own. Making sure that your money is being well-spent is probably the biggest key to getting a good deal.
