Essential Guide To Reduce Long-Distance Moving Costs

• A key strategy that can cut moving spend from the get go is choosing to move during the off-season.

“If your schedule is flexible, choose to move during the off-peak moving months,” explains the report. “Moving companies can give you a more affordable deal on your long distance move when their business has slowed down. The fall months, from late October through November, are a great time to move. As the weather gets colder and the holiday season approaches, moving companies slowly drop their prices.”

• Booking the move up to six months in advance may further drive down costs, with homeowners looking at up to 25% discounts - couple that with off-season moving and you're going to save a ton of money on your next move!
• The report also recommends that you do the packing yourself if you want to completely eliminate packing costs - and you can also ask around local stores for free boxes, too. Plus, you can borrow packing supplies from friends and family who recently moved.

Other essential strategies to reduce move costs are:

• packing smarter to save time when loading and unloading,
• holding a garage sale to get rid of unwanted items and make extra money, and
• renting a moving truck as an alternative to working with a professional moving company.
