Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on moving companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
To choose a moving company, you'll first need to finalize the details of your move to know whether a local or national mover is better for your needs. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service companies. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be great if you're someone who hates packing boxes. Self-service movers provide a truck and driver, but you're expected to have your things packed when they arrive.
Once you know what you need, learn which moving companies meet California's licensing requirements for movers. Other easy ways to research a mover's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website.

Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can begin calling them. We suggest reaching out to at least one or two of the movers on our list above.
