What to Ask Movers Before Hiring Them for Your Move

Are you licensed and insured?

We never want to think about anything going wrong, but you should always be covered if something does. To ensure that the moving company is legally allowed to operate and provides coverage for your belongings in case of damage or loss, this is one of the most important questions you should ask.

Do you have experience with my type of move?

The expertise of the moving staff can significantly impact the quality of your move, and different moves require different expertise—such as local vs. long-distance, residential vs. commercial, or moves involving specialty items like pianos or antiques. You can ask how their team would handle fragile or particularly heavy items.

How should we prepare for moving day?

Your movers want to be able to start moving items as soon as they arrive, so that involves preparation on your part to ensure you have everything ready. Ask your movers for a checklist or guidelines as a starting point. This could include packing tips, labeling boxes, and organizing your items to streamline the process.

What is the earliest you need to know my official moving date?

Timing is everything when it comes to moving. Find out how much advance notice the moving company requires to accommodate your move. This will help you plan your schedule and ensure the movers are available when you need them.

What is your pricing structure?

Understand upfront what you can expect to pay from this moving support. By asking this, you can avoid hidden fees and be clear from the start how you’ll be charged, whether by weight, distance, hours, or flat rate.
