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:
Different types of moves work best with different movers. The first step in selecting a moving company is figuring out whether a national or local company is best suited to your needs. You'll also need to decide if you want a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you may want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind doing your own packing, you might hire a self-service mover, which will supply a truck and driver but not help pack your things.
Once you know what you need, find which Nashville movers meet Tennessee's licensing requirements for movers. Other methods by which to research a company's credibility include reading online reviews and checking its reputation via the BBB. All of the companies on our list of Nashville's best movers are well-reviewed and selected by our experts.
Once you've narrowed it down to a few companies, you can start reaching out to them. It is best to reach out to two or more of the moving companies on our list above. Make sure to review all the services you're going to need when you ask for an estimate. Also, confirm that you've received a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.

During the estimate process, tell the company's representative about the high-value items you need to move. Ensure that the team has the proper tools and experience to move your valuables, and make sure that they have superior insurance in case of damage, loss, or theft.
You should choose a local mover if you want a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can offer more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
