Budget Friendly Moving: How to Save Money

Need to save money on moving costs? We get it. Moving can be expensive. You just want to get from one place to another without worrying about your wallet. Thankfully, there are a lot of things you can do to save money during your move. Here are some of your best options.

Pick The Right Season

If you have some wiggle room, one of the best things you can do to save money on moving costs is to pick the right season for your move. If you can, avoid moving during summer or late spring. Most people move during those seasons, and thanks to supply and demand, moving prices during those times are always high. Instead, see if you can schedule your move sometime between mid fall and early spring. This is the off season, so prices will be much lower.

Compare Prices

Next, you can save money on moving costs by getting prices ahead of time. Free estimates are your friend. Compare prices between services to find out which one will give you the most cost effective moving experience.

Sell What You Don’t Need

You can also sell the things that you don’t need. People tend to accumulate lots of stuff over the years. They don’t often realize how much they have until it’s time to move. Does that sound familiar to you? How much of that stuff do you really need? Before you move, gather up the things that you don’t want anymore. The fewer things you have to move, the cheaper and easier that move will be. Plus, when you sell things, you can make a bit of extra cash that you can put toward your moving costs.

Use a Moving Container

A moving container can also help you save money on moving costs. Moving containers work a bit differently than moving trucks. At Simple Box, for example, we’ll deliver your moving container to you. You take your time packing your container, and then when you’re ready, one of our drivers will pick up the container and move it to your new location. A moving container is often much more cost effective than a regular moving truck. Most homeowners can fit all of their things into one moving container, so they don’t have to rent multiple trucks or waste gas money driving back and forth.
