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:
First, you'll have to figure out if you're going to need a local or a national mover. Different types of moves require different kinds of experience, as outlined above. You'll also want to determine if you want a full-service or self-service moving company. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, a full-service company that provides packing services may be right for you. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you might hire a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Once you know what you need, find which local movers meet Illinois' mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a moving company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its rating on the BBB website. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Champaign City are well-reviewed and picked by our expert team.
Once you've found a handful of companies that you like, you can start asking for estimates. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies from our list above. When you do speak with a mover, make sure you explain all of the services you think you'll require. Also, check that the company provides you with a "binding estimate" – otherwise, it may be subject to change.
One of the most common questions you might have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly cost for moving in Champaign City is as follows:

If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area. If you're moving to Champaign City from afar, a national company is best, as they have more experience moving large numbers of items across the country.
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.
