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 right for your needs. You will also need to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service companies 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 badly you want to avoid packing boxes. Some of the ways you can learn about a company's reputation are through online reviews and the BBB. You may also want to know which movers near you meet all of Indiana's mover licensing requirements. All of the companies on our list of the best movers in Highland are well-reviewed and picked by our team of experts. Once you've narrowed it down to a small list of companies to pick from, you can get in touch with each of them and ask about a free estimate. We strongly suggest talking to two or more of the companies on our list above. Make sure that you go through all of the services that you'll need, and to check that the provided estimate is a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.
Something that most people worry about as they prepare to move is the cost. In Highland, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
The best mover in Highland, according to Today's Homeowner, are College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving Merrillville.
We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Highland are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months tends to be more expensive, due to how many people move during this time. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 27,995 college students attending school within 15 miles of Highland will be moving in those months as well.There is also the weather to consider. Highland's temperatures tend to be cool. Your move will likely be affected more by the day of the week and time of day than the season.
Many movers have special services for large, expensive items. When you're getting estimates from the companies on your shortlist, ask them about these services and ensure the team will have the required tools on the truck. You should also ask about insurance options that can support you if your items get lost, damaged, or stolen.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers will be familiar with Highland and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
