As someone who has moved domestically and internationally more times than I can count on two hands, I can attest to the fact that moving can be a downright uncomfortable and frustrating process. Finding the right moving partner for your Nebraska move is essential, and it’s time-consuming to parse through the overwhelming number of highly rated companies out there to find the right match. With so many options out there — from local movers to global giants — it’s important to consider factors such as carrier/broker status, reputation, affordability, and service quality. In this review, I’ve used Today’s Homeowner’s rigorous methodology to do some of the legwork for you. To find the best movers in The Cornhusker State, we scored popular companies in categories like cost, customization, and reputation. To give you a realistic idea of pricing, I also reached out to a representative from each of our top four companies to find quotes for a two-bedroom move from Omaha, NE, to Nashville, TN.

Whether you’re moving locally or overseas or hoping to DIY your move or outsource the whole thing, I’ve got good news for you — there are some excellent movers out there, and I’ve included four of the best in this review. So, if you’re looking for the best moving companies in Nebraska, you’re in the right place.
Top 4 Nebraska Moving Companies
Key Takeaways
- Out of the four excellent Nebraska moving companies on my list, my top choice is Safeway Moving. This mover has solid reviews, highly rated customer service, flat-rate pricing, and an affordable full-service packing option. Safeway also includes free storage with every move, and performs its own moves as a carrier as opposed to brokering them out. I recommend Safeway Moving if you’re planning a long-distance or international move, but it’s important to note that this company doesn’t offer local moving services. If that’s what you’re planning, you’re better off looking at Moving APT — two affordable movers that also offer a wide range of services.
- Before settling on a particular Nebraska mover, make sure the company offers the services you need — in your area. For example, American Van Lines only operates in the lower 48, Safeway Moving doesn’t cater to local moves, and Interstate Moving & Relocation Group (IMRG) doesn’t offer international moving. It’s also important to find out if your favorite company’s a carrier, broker, or both. Carriers like Safeway have limited geographic range and service offerings. Brokers like IMRG have extensive networks and service ranges, but outsource moves to smaller companies that may or may not uphold their values and commitment to quality.
- When considering partnering with a moving company for your next Nebraska move, be sure to also verify their licensure and coverage in the state and area you’re moving to. Towards the end of this article, I’ve included a few tips on how to make sure your mover is reputable and how to avoid moving scams.

My Expert Recommendation
Out of these four reliable moving companies in Nebraska, my top choice is Safeway Moving. Safeway has stellar reviews and customer service, straightforward pricing, and offers free storage with every move, along with one of the most affordable full-service packing options out there. If you provide your representative with a detailed inventory list, Safeway will be able to give you a very accurate quote thanks to their unique pricing system. As a carrier, Safeway performs its own moves and doesn’t outsource to third-party companies. It gives me peace of mind to know that it’s Safeway that’s showing up on moving day, not a potentially less reliable local company that I haven’t had the chance to vet.
Most moving companies I’ve talked to don’t offer plant-moving services. If you’re anything like me (and millions of other plant-loving millennials), and you’re set on taking your green friends with you across state lines or to the other side of the country, you’ll need to arrange an alternative or find a company that offers this service. This service gap is largely due to agricultural legislation, but also because plants tend to perish in long-distance moving vans.
Nebraska Moving Companies I Didn’t Include
There are a lot of excellent moving companies in Nebraska, but I wasn’t able to include them all in this review. Two companies that didn’t make the cut are JK Moving Services and U-Pack. While both offer some amazing services, their limitations exclude large groups of people. JK Moving is definitely a higher-end moving company, and while they offer a very wide range of customization options, the higher price tag is likely prohibitive for most customers. While U-Pack is a quality self-service option for moving, the company doesn’t offer much outside of that, so it’s not a good choice if you’re looking to outsource most of the work on your move.
Our Reviews of the Best Moving Companies in Nebraska
American Van Lines
4.0
Our Rating
Looking for a versatile moving company with transparent pricing in The Cornhusker State? American Van Lines could be your answer. We gave this provider a solid overall 4.0 stars thanks to things like sample pricing, reliable service, an A+ rating on BBB, and stellar reviews. AVL is among the best for straightforward long-distance moves within the lower 48 states — assuming you don’t want in-house junk removal or car shipping, for example. With a well-detailed website and accurate sample pricing, American makes it easy to quickly compare them to other companies to make a well-informed choice. Just keep in mind the limitations I mentioned — they don’t operate beyond the lower 48 states, only offer local moving in a few states, and lack the customization options some competitors offer.
American Van Lines (AVL) stands out among Nebraska moving companies for transparent pricing, with sample pricing and special offers openly displayed on their website. American’s website offers a great deal of information for customers, including city-specific blog posts and insight into services, costs, and expertise.
As a carrier with its own fleet of trucks, American ensures reliability and quality service with experienced and vetted moving crews. Offerings like white-glove treatment of pianos and antiques, along with unique storage solutions like climate-controlled personal vaults, can put even the most discerning customers at ease.
American Van Lines, while experienced, has some limitations compared to other moving companies in Nebraska. This mover doesn’t offer car shipping, home staging, or junk removal. While dependable for domestic moves within the continental United States, you’re better off checking out International Van Line if you’re eyeing a far-flung state or foreign country, as AVL only operates in 48 states. Similar to Safeway, this company doesn’t offer local moves in Nebraska. Another thing to consider is their deposit, which can be on the steeper side — they usually ask for about 50% upfront to lock in your moving date and time.
American Van Lines scored a 9 out of 10 in this category thanks to offering most essential moving services along with luxuries like climate-controlled storage vaults and specialized solutions for valuables. The only big things missing are international moving services and that local moves are only available in select areas like Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Despite these limitations, American remains a top choice for Nebraskans undertaking long-distance and interstate moves. American offers packing, unpacking, loading, unloading, and secure storage solutions.
| Service | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Local Moving | Yes |
| Long Distance/Interstate Moving | Yes |
| International Moving | No |
| Packing and Unpacking | Yes |
| Loading and Unloading | Yes |
| Storage Services | Yes |
Cost
Getting a quote from American Van Lines was easy, but my quote didn’t include as much information as those from other movers. My AVL representative estimated that I’d need around 50 boxes, and that the boxes alone for my mattress and TV would be $300. All the packing material is included in my quote along with disassembly and reassembly, padding and wrapping, loading, and unloading, as well as standard additions like taxes, tolls, and fuel. The full-service quote (transportation with packing) included 30 days of free storage.
The quote for my two-bedroom, 760-mile move from Omaha, NE, to Nashville, TN, was as follows:
- Packing services only: $1,355
- Transportation without packing: $4,302
- Transportation with packing: $5,455
Editor’s Note: The cost data provided in this article is based on Today’s Homeowner’s standardized sample moving scenario from Omaha, NE to Nashville, TN, for a single-family home, with a move date set eight weeks away. Please be aware that these estimates may vary depending on factors such as additional services required and market fluctuations. The cost data presented was accurate at the time of writing.
Available Discounts
This is true for most moving companies, and it’s true for American Van Lines — choosing a mover well in advance, and — if possible — locking in a price, is crucial, especially during the busy spring and summer seasons. American offers city-specific and seasonal promotions such as an annual spring promotion, so be sure to inquire about these deals when contacting them.
We gave American Van Lines a 7 out of 10 for its customization options, because this is one of the main areas where this mover falls short. While AVL does provide special services like piano and antique moving, it lacks additional services like junk removal and home staging, so if you need those, I recommend looking at Moving APT.
| Customization Options | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Assembly/Disassembly | Yes |
| Sells Packing Materials | Yes |
| Offers Valuation Coverage | Yes |
| Piano Moving | Yes |
| Car Shipping | No |
| Special Item/ Antique Moving | Yes |
| Custom Crating | Yes |
| Junk Removal | No |
| Home Staging | No |
American Van Lines has strong ratings across reputable review platforms like BBB, Trustpilot, and Google, with an A+ rating on the BBB and praise for their supportive customer service, punctual deliveries, and flexibility with scheduling changes. Negative reviews highlight issues such as unexpected costs and inconsistent service quality. Overall, AVL maintains a stellar reputation, and the lower rating on Yelp is comparable to — or stronger than — those of most competitors.
| Rating Site | Rating | Number of Reviews |
| BBB | A+ / 4.1 out of 5 stars | 435 |
| Trustpilot | 4.4 out of 5 stars | 73 |
| 4.2 out of 5 stars | 972 | |
| Yelp | 2.3 out of 5 stars | 446 |
Editor’s Note: The ratings provided were accurate at the time of writing.
Most Common Praise for American Van Lines
Many positive reviews of American Van Lines mention excellent communication, professionalism, and flexibility, with customers highlighting the reliable support they received throughout the moving process. Positive reviews emphasize the company’s attentiveness to customer feedback, and customers consistently praise AVL representatives for their helpfulness and efficiency, noting accessible support and smooth coordination.
Most Common Criticism for American Van Lines
Criticism directed at American Van Lines often revolves around inconsistent customer service, inadequate communication regarding pricing, and careless moving crews. Yelp hosts the majority of negative reviews (as is the case for most moving companies), and unhappy customers there lament the poor handling of items resulting in damage or breakage.
American Van Lines distinguishes itself among Nebraska movers with transparent pricing practices, offering up-front cost breakdowns in written quotes and sample pricing on their website. Prospective customers can easily access estimates online, which is great if you’re looking for a quick and streamlined quoting experience. However, customization options may require additional attention to fine print and direct communication, as noted by some customers who experienced last-minute price changes. Despite minor shortcomings such as the absence of posted customer service hours and lack of additional fees clearly listed on the website, American scores a solid 8.7 for transparency and the superlative “Most Transparent Pricing” at Today’s Homeowner.
Interstate Moving & Relocation Group
4.2
Our Rating
Interstate Moving & Relocation Group stands out for their competitive pricing, offering significant discounts and packing fees that are lower than average in Nebraska. IMRG and its partners provide a comprehensive range of services in a wide geographic area, including packing, long-distance moving, storage, car shipping, and antique moving, with transparent cost breakdowns available on their website.
However, as a broker, IMRG’s subcontracted arrangements can also lead to unforeseen increases in moving costs — a concern highlighted by several customers who discovered higher quotes on the actual day of their moves. Additionally, IMRG’s strict cancellation policy contrasts with the flexibility offered by competitors, which provides a full refund up to 48 hours before the scheduled move. If you prioritize flexibility and direct control over your move, IMRG may not be the ideal choice. However, if you’re willing to trust a third-party company with your move, and you’re seeking affordability, IMRG can be a viable option, especially if you can secure GPS tracking through your assigned moving partner.
If you’re considering using a broker for your Nebraska move, Interstate Moving & Relocation Group (IMRG) is a solid choice for its extensive network of partners and comprehensive approach to providing quotes, offering both detailed phone consultations and virtual walkthroughs via Zoom. During consultations, IMRG representatives meticulously review each room and item to ensure quote accuracy. A user-friendly website includes state-to-state moving guides, and an intuitive cost calculator provides accurate estimates and also practical tips for cost-saving measures. These include things like securing parking for movers in advance and opting for several smaller trucks —handy tips if your move is to or from a downtown Omaha street with alley access, for example. Additionally, IMRG offers third-party arbitration for dispute resolution, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction and efficient problem-solving. With responsive and informative representatives, along with up-front discounts, IMRG is a reliable choice if you seek predictability and affordability in your moving process.
IMRG has a strict cancellation policy with limited refund options beyond 72 hours and a 4% cancellation fee, citing scheduling and routing demands as their primary reasons for this. As with Safeway Moving (to an extent), IMRG doesn’t offer in-house GPS tracking — a factor worth considering if real-time monitoring is important to you.
IMRG operates as a broker, which means they negotiate prices on behalf of customers and subcontract moves to third-party companies. While this arrangement may be fine or even preferred for you, it’s definitely important to be aware of this from the start and compare brokers with carriers to see which status is more suitable for your move. Most negative reviews come from customers whose moves were outsourced to smaller companies at the expense of service quality. Some reviews even cite a lack of awareness that the move would be outsourced at all, which is mainly a communication issue but adds insult to injury when it results in subpar services and unexpected costs.
Interstate Moving & Relocation Group offers a comprehensive range of services for cross-country moves, including local and long-distance moving, packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, and storage solutions, all facilitated through their extensive network of subcontractors. While this allows for flexibility in matching customers with moving companies that suit their needs and budget, it also entails a degree of uncertainty regarding service quality.
IMRG excels in catering to smaller moves and self-service options, partnering with companies like PODS to provide cost-efficient solutions where customers retain control over packing, loading, and unloading. Additionally, IMRG specializes in corporate and military relocation, boasting (on their website) confidentiality, military-grade storage solutions, and a 98% on-time delivery rate for corporate moves.
| Service | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Local Moving | Yes |
| Long Distance/Interstate Moving | Yes |
| International Moving | No |
| Packing and Unpacking | Yes |
| Loading and Unloading | Yes |
| Storage Services | Yes |
Cost
IMRG provides binding estimates and requires a 25% to 50% deposit, depending on the partner selected to handle your move. Opting for self-packing and utilizing IMRG’s container service can offer a cost-effective and less stressful alternative to professional moving services. To receive a quote, you need to fill out a pretty lengthy checklist of items. IMRG uses words like “tariff” in their quotes (basically, this means the total scope of work and cost agreed upon), and includes unexpected discounts. The quote for my two-bedroom, 760-mile move from Omaha, NE, to Nashville, TN, included 35 to 40 boxes, a $500 discount if I booked that same day, and the final costs were as follows:
- Deposit $1,975
- Transportation without packing: $5,300
- Transportation with packing plus 30 days of storage: $6,029
- Full service including same-day booking discount: $5,429
Editor’s Note: The cost data provided in this article is based on Today’s Homeowner’s standardized sample moving scenario from Omaha, NE to Nashville, TN, for a single-family home, with a move date set eight weeks away. Please be aware that these estimates may vary depending on factors such as additional services required and market fluctuations. The cost data presented was accurate at the time of writing.
Available Discounts
Interstate Moving & Relocation Group offers various discounts, including discretionary discounts during consultations and a $500 discount advertised on their website. You could save $500 by booking on the day of your initial call, and $500 to $700 by opting to pack your items yourself. Booking early may increase your chances for additional discounts. Peak moving seasons, particularly Memorial Day through Labor Day, and peak days like the first and last days of the month have higher rates and reduced flexibility. Late fall and Wednesdays are preferable if money’s tight and you have the flexibility. While IMRG offers special discounted rates for active-duty military members, availability of these rates from all moving partners isn’t guaranteed.
Interstate Moving & Relocation Group offers an array of customization options beyond basic moving services, made possible by their extensive network of moving partners. While home staging isn’t offered, IMRG provides detailed information on its website regarding partner expertise and available services for more specialized moving needs. Additionally, IMRG serves as a valuable resource if you’re seeking specialty services like vehicle shipping, military base relocation, or moving military equipment (IMRG connects active-duty military members with approved partners endorsed by the armed forces).
Similar to other providers, IMRG offers basic liability coverage at $.60 per pound, with options for all-risk (estimated value) and total-loss (in case your entire shipping is lost or destroyed).
| Customization Options | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Assembly/ Disassembly | Yes |
| Sells Packing Materials | Yes |
| Offers Valuation Coverage | Yes |
| Piano Moving | Yes |
| Car Shipping | Yes |
| Special Item/ Antique Moving | Yes |
| Custom Crating | Yes |
| Junk Removal | Yes |
| Home Staging | No |
As I mentioned, Interstate Moving & Relocation Group operates as a brokerage, relying on other moving companies to execute the actual moving services. This definitely introduces inconsistency in service quality, and reviews are mixed, with positive feedback highlighting effective communication and quality packing, and negative experiences citing significant shipping delays and inaccurate estimates. While brand representatives are responsive to both positive and negative reviews on Google, we deducted points for this provider’s absence on Trustpilot and Yelp along with its B rating on BBB. Although IMRG benefits from a wealth of online reviews and maintains a reasonable complaints response rate, feedback often centers on the performance of its local moving partners rather than IMRG itself, with common complaints revolving around carelessness, unreliability, and poor communication from partners, alongside unexpected non-refundable deposit demands.
| Rating Site | Rating | Number of Reviews |
| BBB | B / 3.51 out of 5 stars | 118 |
| Trustpilot | Not available | Not available |
| 3.5 out of 5 stars | 1,091 | |
| Yelp | Not available | Not available |
Most Common Praise for Interstate Moving & Relocation Group (IMRG)
IMRG has many positive reviews for communication, updates, and responsiveness, with clients consistently praising the company’s ability to keep them informed and address inquiries promptly, even in cases of delays. Customers also find the booking process to be quick and straightforward. Furthermore, reviews mention the reasonable pricing and professionalism, care, and efficiency displayed by IMRG’s moving crews.
Most Common Criticism for Interstate Moving & Relocation Group (IMRG)
A common criticism of IMRG revolves around quoting inaccuracy, with many negative reviews citing significant discrepancies between initial quotes and final costs, resulting in unexpected expenses. Customers often report delays, damaged property, and misdelivered items. This usually seems attributed to the involvement of third-party partners in the moving process. Additionally, poor customer support and dissatisfaction with the quality of service provided by IMRG’s partner companies are common themes among negative reviews, with customers expressing frustration over unfulfilled promises and a lack of accountability from the broker.
Despite some customers claiming they weren’t informed of IMRG’s broker status, the company’s website clearly outlines this aspect along with the advantages and drawbacks of working with their partner companies. IMRG streamlines the booking process and offers significant discounts, but customers need to spend quite a lot of time detailing items to ensure accurate quoting. IMRG lost points in this category due to the absence of GPS tracking and lack of clearly listed fees, resulting in a rating of 7.7/10.
Safeway Moving
4.1
Our Rating
Safeway Moving simplifies the initial moving steps by allowing you to submit your moving checklist via email or video. While an explanation of flat-rate pricing benefits is easily accessible, more detailed information about their services and pricing in Nebraska isn’t, so you’ll have to call customer service to find out what they offer. I think Safeway loses out on a lot of potential customers by not making information more readily available. Another thing that might deter customers is the lack of GPS tracking. Having to call the actual truck driver to find out where your belongings are or to get an updated ETA isn’t ideal for most people.
Safeway Moving’s main selling point is their flat-rate pricing. Unlike other Nebraska movers, Safeway prices moves based on space rather than weight, ensuring transparency and predictability while simplifying the quoting process and reducing the risk of surprises come moving day. Before calling Safeway, I recommend preparing a detailed inventory list, including measurements of larger items. This way, you’ll be able to get a very accurate estimate from your rep, thanks to Safeway’s unique approach to quoting and pricing.
Safeway is a carrier, meaning this company handles their own moves rather than brokering them out. This provides consistency and reliability, a solid option if you’re hesitant to trust a broker or a carrier /broker with your move, and a huge bonus in my book. I also like that Safeway uses climate-controlled trucks and offers added protection for pianos and other valuable instruments, making it my top pick if your move includes that special feature.
Safeway Moving’s main limitation is their lack of local moving options. This provider won’t cater to your local move within Omaha or to the next town over, but is a reliable choice if you’re moving long distance or internationally. If you’re moving locally, be sure to check out American Van Lines instead.
Safeway’s website leaves a lot to be desired in terms of helpful tools and essential info, lacking an FAQ section and offering minimal insight into its services. They haven’t put much effort into making their website useful for visitors, and I think that deters a lot of potential customers who leave thinking Safeway doesn’t have much to offer. Finally, this mover only offers GPS tracking on some trucks, so if your truck lacks tracking you’ll need to call the driver to manually track. If in-house tracking is non-negotiable for you, check out American Van Lines.
As I mentioned, Safeway Moving doesn’t offer local moving services in Nebraska, so if you’re moving locally you’re better off looking at American Van Lines. If you’re undertaking a long-distance move, Safeway is a reliable option with free storage. This mover covers a wide range of moving needs, earning them an 8 out of 10 score.
| Service | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Local Moving | No |
| Long Distance/Interstate Moving | Yes |
| International Moving | Yes |
| Packing and Unpacking | Yes |
| Loading and Unloading | Yes |
| Storage Services | Yes |
Cost
My Safeway quote includes assembly and disassembly, full packing service, 30 days of free storage, basic packing materials, and origin and destination fees. It also includes a $250 new-customer discount (but only for a same-day booking) and basic insurance coverage with a max cargo protection of $10,000. As always, I recommend comparing the price of packing materials from your chosen provider with those at your local stores. My Safeway representative let me know that my TV, mattress, and treadmill boxes alone would cost me around $425, which is similar to other movers like American Van Lines.
For my two-bedroom, 760-mile move between Omaha, NE and Nashville, TN, Safeway quoted me:
- Self-packing option: $3,733
- Full-service option: $4,452
- Estimated 550 cf. (3,850 lbs)
Editor’s Note: The cost data provided in this article is based on Today’s Homeowner’s standardized sample moving scenario from Omaha, NE to Nashville, TN, for a single-family home, with a move date set eight weeks away. Please be aware that these estimates may vary depending on factors such as additional services required and market fluctuations. The cost data presented was accurate at the time of writing.
Available Discounts
Safeway’s website lacks clarity on offers for specific groups, but states generally that they offer discounts to veterans, seniors, students, teachers, and first responders, along with a standard discount for bookings made more than thirty days in advance. As I mentioned above, my representative also offered a first-time customer discount, but only after I emailed and inquired about discounts, and this discount was only available if I booked on the day of the offer.
Safeway Moving provides most of the common customization options, scoring a 9 in this category. It’s not clear from their website, but Safeway offers most services you’d need when moving, like car shipping and custom crating. The company includes assembly/disassembly of standard furniture in the price and packing materials are available for purchase. Safeway’s piano moving service utilizes climate-controlled trucks for added protection — a nice perk for those with valuable instruments. Like most of their competitors, Safeway doesn’t offer home staging.
| Customization Options | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Assembly/ Disassembly | Yes |
| Sells Packing Materials | Yes |
| Offers Valuation Coverage | Yes |
| Piano Moving | Yes |
| Car Shipping | Yes |
| Special Item/ Antique Moving | Yes |
| Custom Crating | Yes |
| Junk Removal | Yes |
| Home Staging | No |
In addition to Safeway Moving’s reviews being a mixed bag, this company also lacks the quantity of reviews larger and better-established movers have. Having said that, we gave Safeway a 9 out of 10 in this category thanks to a B- on BBB and mostly decent reviews across platforms. It should be noted that none of the movers reviewed have strong Yelp ratings, but that seems to say more about the platform than the companies rated there.
| Rating Site | Rating | Number of Reviews |
| BBB | B- / 3.83 out of 5 stars | 116 |
| Trustpilot | 4.3 out of 5 stars | 44 |
| 3.8 out of 5 stars | 198 | |
| Yelp | 1.4 out of 5 stars | 68 |
Most Common Praise for Safeway Moving
Customers consistently praise Safeway Moving for its stellar customer service, and many customers mention quality guidance and attention to detail throughout their moving process. Positive reviews also mention unexpected discounts, support during the quoting process, and access to support even outside of posted hours.
Most Common Criticism for Safeway Moving
Negative reviews of Safeway Moving center around issues with the handling and shipping by some crews, and common mentions are broken furniture, scratched property, and damaged boxes. While damaged items are a common complaint, it’s important to note that these incidents are relatively rare given the overall volume of reviews. Some people report having their moves outsourced, despite Safeway claiming it acts solely as a carrier. These factors underscore the importance of discussing valuation coverage options with your Safeway representative to make sure you’re protected in the event of loss or damage during the shipping process.
Safeway Moving lost a few points to reach a rating of 7 in this category due to several factors, including the absence of sample pricing on their website and limited GPS tracking availability (on some trucks only and not guaranteed at the time of booking). While they do offer a quick quote feature online, a more accurate quote requires a phone call. Safeway’s quote format can be confusing, and they claim to offer 24/7 customer service, but as I mentioned in the Cost section, I wasn’t able to reach a representative for a quote. Safeway is transparent about being a carrier (not a broker), though some customers report outsourced work.
Moving APT
3.9
Our Rating
With one of the largest networks of partners, Moving APT offers a comprehensive range of services in Nebraska, and the fact that they offer home staging sets them apart. If you’re set on going with a broker, this is a reliable choice with a long track record. Whatever specialized moving service you might need, it’s likely that this broker can help you.
Despite its visually appealing design, navigating through Moving APT’s website menus and links to find relevant details can be frustrating, and you’d need to call to get an accurate quote. Thankfully, this is quick and painless thanks to their efficient quoting process. Moving APT’s tracking services are limited, as it relies on contracted movers without guaranteed GPS tracking. I recommend this company if you fall into these two categories: home staging is a must for you, and/or you’re willing to spend time shopping around for quotes to take full advantage of the price-matching policy.
Moving APT stands out to me among the top four best moving companies in Nebraska for their easy quoting process and informative follow-up emails. Using an intuitive checklist, my representative was able to get me a quote over the phone in less than fifteen minutes. This is compared to multiple calls and back-and-forth emails with most other companies. My representative also let me know that they have a price-matching policy and that I should let them know if I found a lower price with another reputable mover. In my book, this is a testament to this company’s transparency and commitment to offer affordable services.
As a broker, this mover has one of the largest networks in the moving industry, allowing them to offer a wide range of services to customers and negotiate the best prices among carriers. Moving APT is the only mover on our list to offer home staging — catering to busy individuals, families, and those with disabilities with a service option beyond just physical moving. If home staging is a must for you, or if you just think it sounds like it could take a huge weight off your shoulders, Moving APT is your best choice.
Moving APT’s quality of service can be inconsistent because as a broker the company largely depends on the moving partner they select to perform your move. This is true for most brokers, and it’s important to note because it can lead to everything from communication issues to unexpected estimate changes.
Like Safeway Moving, Moving APT doesn’t have the most user-friendly website. While it contains a wealth of information, it’s hard to navigate, and I think finding what you need takes enough effort to deter quite a few people looking for a quick and easy overview of this mover.
With a perfect category score thanks to their comprehensive range of services (including local moving and storage solutions), Moving APT can help with the majority of any given customer’s needs. However, the lack of information on their website makes it challenging to find specific details — especially regarding packing, international moving, and storage services — so it’s best to call them directly.
As of this writing, Moving APT offers these services to Nebraska customers:
| Service | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Local Moving | Yes |
| Long Distance/Interstate Moving | Yes |
| International Moving | Yes |
| Packing and Unpacking | Yes |
| Loading and Unloading | Yes |
| Storage Services | Yes |
Cost
Moving APT offers competitive rates for basic moving services, and is an affordable moving option . One of their main selling points is the price-matching policy, and they offered me 30 days of free storage if I chose the full-service option—similar to Safeway. My representative sent me a thorough checklist and quote, making it easy to compare to other companies. Note that booking on the same day of my call would save me a significant $1356.
For my two-bedroom, 760-mile move from Omaha, NE, to Nashville, TN, APT quoted me:
- Packing services only: $2,047
- Transportation without packing: $6,000
- Transportation with packing: $7,856
- Transportation with packing using a same-day booking discount: $6,500
Editor’s Note: The cost data provided in this article is based on Today’s Homeowner’s standardized sample moving scenario from Omaha, NE to Nashville, TN, for a single-family home, with a move date set eight weeks away. Please be aware that these estimates may vary depending on factors such as additional services required and market fluctuations. The cost data presented was accurate at the time of writing.
Available Discounts
Moving APT advises against moving during peak seasons like spring and summer to avoid higher costs due to increased demand in Nebraska. They provide discounts for various groups, including seniors, military personnel, and early bookers, with the best savings achieved by booking at least two months in advance. Additionally, they offer a 15% discount for lead generation (providing your name and email after using their quick quote tool), and a flex coupon for those with a three-day moving window.
With a perfect customization score, Moving APT stands out for its extensive range of options, including the rare service of home staging. Moving APT also provides custom crating and packing materials for purchase, but it’s important to note that these are expensive. Even if this mover’s prices are affordable, you’re better off buying your packing materials elsewhere if you plan on self-packing.
| Customization Options | Availability (Yes or No) |
| Assembly/ Disassembly | Yes |
| Sells Packing Materials | Yes |
| Offers Valuation Coverage | Yes |
| Piano Moving | Yes |
| Car Shipping | Yes |
| Special Item/ Antique Moving | Yes |
| Custom Crating | Yes |
| Junk Removal | Yes |

Nearly all positive reviews for Moving APT across platforms mention their excellent customer service. As noted in some reviews, the broker status does, however, introduce the possibility of being paired with less reliable movers, leading to potential issues like significant delays and unexpected charges on moving day. Despite this, Moving APT maintains a solid reputation, with a B+ on BBB and a 7.8/10 rating from us.

Most Common Praise for Moving APT
From prompt responses to inquiries to professionalism and attention to detail both from representatives over the phone and crews on moving day, customers praise Moving APT’s stellar customer service. This company’s commitment to high standards of professionalism is clear from reading their reviews.
Most Common Criticism for Moving APT
With Moving APT’s network of over 2,500 partners, the lack of certainty around which team will handle your move can definitely introduce an element of unease into working with the company. Reviews highlight issues such as unexpected cost increases, delays, miscommunications leading to additional charges, and encounters with unprofessional crews. Although the majority of reviews are positive, this variability in service quality suggests that securing the right team can be somewhat of a gamble.
Reading Moving APT’s negative reviews reveals that many customer grievances stem from a lack of understanding of the logistical complexities and regulations involved in the moving process. Moving APT would benefit from being clearer about these in the initial move planning steps.
Similar to Safeway Moving, Moving APT scored low in this category due to a lack of GPS tracking and no clearly listed pricing and additional fees. Additionally, vital details such as business hours are not readily accessible on the poorly designed website, and while the website does indicate Moving APT’s status as a broker, the representative didn’t volunteer this info during our call. Additionally, customers should scrutinize quotes for undisclosed charges, such as unpacking fees. As is common with brokers, Moving APT can’t guarantee tracking services since it doesn’t conduct the physical move itself but contracts it to a third party. If you’re set on using Moving APT for your move but tracking is important to you, make sure you talk to a representative about the possibility of using a third-party tracking system.
