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 picking a company is determining if you're better off with a national or local mover. As shown above, different types of moves benefit from different movers. You also will need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both kinds of movers provide trucks and people to drive them. However, full-service movers also offer packing and loading services, while self-service companies do not. The type of mover you choose will depend on your budget and how badly you want to avoid packing boxes.
You can learn about a company's reputation via online reviews and the BBB. You will also benefit from knowing which movers near you meet the mover licensing requirements in Texas. Every company on our list of Austin's best movers is well-reviewed and picked by our experts.
Once you've narrowed your list down to a few companies, 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 talking to a company you are thinking of hiring, make sure that you explain all the services you'll need. You should also verify that the estimate you're given is a "binding estimate," because otherwise it may be subject to change.
Something that a lot of people worry about as they prepare to move is the price tag. In Austin, the typical hourly cost for movers is:
Today's Homeowner has found the top mover in your area to be Einstein Moving Company.
We use various different criteria to determine which movers in Austin are the best ones. They include:
To check a mover's reputation, you can:
Many moving companies 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 necessary 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 want a more personal experience. Local movers are more familiar with the area and can provide more tailored services. However, national movers usually have more resources, better insurance, and a wider variety of services.
The average annual high in Austin can get up to 80°F, and the area is in the middle third of the country for daily rainfall. Winters here yield extremely low (if any) snowfall.
