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:
The first step in selecting a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As outlined above, different types of movers are better for different types of moves. You will also want to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and drivers. However, full-service movers also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
You can find out about the reputation of a moving company via online reviews and the BBB. You will also want to know which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Florida. Every company on our list of Miami's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
Once you've put together a small list of companies to select from, you can contact them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to at least two of the companies from our list above. Be sure to tell them all of the services that you'll need, and to verify that their estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly cost for moving in Miami is as follows:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be American Van Lines.
To decide which movers in Miami are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during summertime tends to be 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 100,757 college students attending school within 15 miles of Miami will be moving in those months as well.
Don't forget to think about the weather, too. Miami's 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:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They will be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Miami from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
High temperatures in Miami can reach 82°F. The area has above-average daily rainfall and low to no snowfall in the winter months.
The cost of a home in Miami will vary based on various factors, including the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Miami is $561053.
If you choose to rent in Miami, the cost for an apartment is roughly $3,112 per month.
