How to choose the right mover
Choosing the right mover means checking insurance, reading real reviews, requesting a detailed quote and insisting on a survey. The lowest price is not always the best choice.
7 criteria for choosing a mover
Before choosing a moving company, check these seven key points.
- Insurance: verify it covers damage to furniture and property
- Reviews: check Google, Trustpilot and word of mouth
- Written quote: insist on a detailed written quote
- Survey: serious companies offer a free survey
- Local experience: those who know the area handle access and ZTL better
- Flexibility: verify availability of dates and time slots
- Included services: clarify what is included and what costs extra
Warning signs to avoid
Some signs indicate an unreliable company: phone-only quote without survey, prices well below average, no documented insurance, full advance payment.
