No one looks forward to moving – it's hectic and stressful, and you might feel like there are always more jobs that need your attention. Even when moving in a smaller town (like Newcastle) with more space, you may be concerned about navigating around with all of your possessions in a big truck. Depending on what time of year you move, low temperatures could get in the way of your plans, resulting in more stress.
Lucky for you, our carefully crafted guide to Newcastle's best movers can help you discover the right experts and remove a lot of the stress.

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 choosing a company is determining if you need a local or national mover. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. Movers can be further divided into full-service and self-service. A full-service moving company provides packing and loading services, which are a big stress-reliever if you loathe packing boxes. A self-service mover will provide a truck and a driver, but you're expected to have all your items packed when they get there.
Next, you can look to see which moving companies near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Oklahoma. You can also look for reviews online and view the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Newcastle is well-reviewed and chosen by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start contacting them. We recommend reaching out to at least one or two of the moving companies from our list above. Make sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when you get an estimate. Also, verify that you've gotten a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the most important questions you have is how expensive your move will be. The typical hourly fee for moving in Newcastle is:
The best mover in Newcastle, according to Today's Homeowner, are Serenity Moving Services.
We use several different criteria to determine which movers in Newcastle are the best ones. They include:
When picking a date to move, you'll want to consider both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer months is usually more expensive, as most people move during this season. There also may be more traffic on the roads during these months. You will probably want to avoid moving in May or August specifically, as the 35,664 college students attending school within 15 miles of Newcastle will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Newcastle tend to be hot. Your move will likely be inconvenient and possibly dangerous if you move on a day where the weather is too hot.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers know the Newcastle area better and can offer more tailored services. However, national and international moving companies usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
Newcastle's cost of living index is 89.3. This figure considers mortgage or rent payments, food, childcare, transportation, and other essential expenses. (100.0 is the national average.)
The price of a home in Newcastle will vary based on several factors, such as the part of town you want to live in, the size of the home, and the amenities it offers. The median home price in Newcastle is $286484.
If you choose to rent in Newcastle, the cost for an apartment is roughly $1,564 per month.
