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:
Different types of movers are better for different types of moves. The first step in selecting a moving company is figuring out whether a national or local company is best suited to your needs. You will also need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and the people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The company that you ultimately pick will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Some of the ways you can learn about the reputation of a moving company are through online reviews and the BBB. You can also discover which movers near you meet all of California's mover licensing requirements. Every company on our list of Palm Springs' best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you're down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can contact them and get a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them about all of the services that you'll need, and to check that the estimate you get is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

To decide which movers in Palm Springs are the best, our team asks a lot of questions, including:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is usually more expensive, as this is when most people move. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 9,446 college students attending school within 15 miles of Palm Springs will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Palm Springs' temperatures tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The best time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may have a harder time finding available movers, or pay more for their services.
