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:
First, you'll want to decide if you're looking at local or national movers. Different kinds of moves will need different kinds of experience, as illustrated above. You'll also want to decide if you require a full-service or self-service mover. If you dread the thought of packing boxes, you might want to hire a full-service mover that provides packing services. If you don't mind taking care of the packing on your own, you may prefer a self-service mover, which will provide a truck and a driver but not packing assistance.
Next, you can check which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Virginia. You can also search for reviews online and look at the company's rating on the BBB. Every company on our list of the best movers in Virginia Beach is well-reviewed and selected by our expert team.
Once your list is down to just a few companies, you can begin calling them. We recommend reaching out to two or more of the moving companies from our list above. Be sure to explain all the services you think you'll need when asking for an estimate. Also, check that you receive a "binding estimate" – otherwise, the actual cost may be subject to change.
One of the biggest questions you may have is how much your move will cost. The usual hourly fee for moving in Virginia Beach is as follows:

We use multiple different criteria to determine which movers in Virginia Beach are the best ones. They include:
When you are deciding when to move, you'll want to think about both cost and convenience. Moving during the summer tends to 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 19,161 college students attending school within 15 miles of Virginia Beach will be moving in those months as well.
There is also the weather to consider. Temperatures in Virginia Beach tend to be moderate. Your move may be more inconvenient during the warmer months, depending on how hot the day is.
A few signs that you shouldn't use a specific mover include:
The ideal time to book your move is four to six weeks beforehand. If you book later, you may pay more and have a harder time finding available movers.
