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 picking a company is determining whether a local or national mover better fits your needs. As illustrated above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You'll also have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Self-service movers provide trucks and drivers, but you'll need to have all of your things packed and ready when they get to you. A full-service mover will offer packing services, which can be very helpful if you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which Champaign movers meet Illinois' licensing requirements for movers. Other ways to research a company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Champaign is well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts.
Once you've narrowed down your list, you can start calling companies. It is best to reach out to at least one or two of the companies from our list for estimates. Make sure that you explain all of the services you think you might need for your move. Also, make sure that their estimate is a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The typical hourly fee for moving in Champaign is as follows:
We've determined the top mover in your area to be Allied Van Lines.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Champaign are the best ones. They include:
Cost and convenience are both important when planning your move. The period from Memorial Day to Labor Day tends to be when most people move, which could be busier and more expensive for you. With about 39,107 students attending college within 15 miles of Champaign, you may want to avoid moving when semesters start in August and end in May.
You will also want to think about the weather conditions in the area. Champaign tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
If you're moving across town, choose a local company. They'll be more familiar with the area and could offer you faster service. If you're moving to Champaign from afar, a national company is best, as they have more tools and experience to handle long-distance moves.
