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 also be divided into full-service and self-service companies. Full-service moving companies provide packing and loading services, which are worth the money if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. A self-service moving company will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they arrive.
Once you know what you need, find which movers meet Florida's mover licensing requirements. Other methods by which to research a moving company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. Every company on our list of Fort Myers' best movers is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
After narrowing down your list, you can begin talking to companies. It is best to discuss your move with at least one or two of the companies on our list for estimates. Be sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, confirm that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
To ensure you get the dates you want for pickup and delivery, you should book moving services as far in advance as the company allows, often four to six weeks before your moving day.
