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. You also will have to choose between a self-service or full-service moving company. Both types of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, a full-service mover can also provide packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. Which you choose will depend on your budget and how much you hate packing boxes.
Once you know what you need, find which Otsego movers meet Minnesota's mover licensing requirements. Other easy ways to research a company's credibility include browsing online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Otsego's best movers are well-reviewed and chosen by our team of experts.
After you've found a few companies you like, you can begin asking for estimates. It is best to speak to at least one or two of the companies on our list above. When you do reach out, be sure that you explain all the services you'll need. You should also verify that you are given a "binding estimate." Otherwise, it may be subject to change.

We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Otsego are the best ones. They include:
When you're thinking about when to move, you'll want to take both cost and convenience into consideration. Moving during the summer months will likely be more expensive, as most people move during this season. You also might encounter more traffic during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 13,608 college students attending school within 15 miles of Otsego will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Otsego tend to be cold. Your move is best saved for the warmer months, to avoid icy roads and freezing temperatures.
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
You should choose a local mover if you aren't moving long-distance. Local movers will be familiar with Otsego and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Otsego can get up to 53°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield rather high snowfall.
Compared to a national average of 100.0, the cost of living index for Otsego is 111.8. This index considers housing payments, childcare, food, transportation, and other crucial expenses.
