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 split into full-service and self-service companies. A full-service mover provides packing and loading services, which can be well worth it if you are someone who dreads packing boxes. Self-service moving companies provide a truck and driver, but you'll be expected to have everything packed when they get there.
Next, you can check which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Maryland. You can also read online reviews and view the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of Bethesda's best movers is well-reviewed and chosen by our expert team.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. It is best to reach out to at least a couple of the movers from our list above. Make sure to review all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, confirm that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

The best mover in Bethesda, according to Today's Homeowner, are MyProMovers.
To figure out which movers in Bethesda are the best, our team asks many questions, including:
Consider both cost and convenience 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 179,692 students attending college within 15 miles of Bethesda, 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. Bethesda tends to have moderate temperatures. Therefore you may want to move outside of the coldest months of the year, to avoid possible icy roads
Begin the process by visiting the company's website. Once you discover what the mover specializes in, look at reviews of the company on other sites such as the BBB, Reddit, Google, or Trustpilot.
You can also ask for references from people who used the mover in the past.
You should choose a local mover if you would prefer a more personal experience. Local movers know the Bethesda area better and can provide more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
