How Can I Move on a Budget? 

Moving can be costly, but if you need to move on a budget there are ways it can be done. Consider the following 7 money saving tips:

 1-        Get Organized

The first step to save on moving costs is to get organized. Take the time to go through your closets and drawers and decide what items you need to keep. If you are able to donate some items to charity instead of moving them, it will save you money.

2.        Consider Renting a Moving Truck

Renting a moving truck is always cheaper than ordering a full service move. You can hire Utah movers to load or unload your rental truck and all you have to do is the driving.

3.        Share a Load

Oftentimes, sharing a load with someone else will save you on moving costs.

4.        Move During the Off Season

Sometimes moving during the winter months can be less expensive than moving during the busy summer months.

5.        Never move during overtime hours

Some companies charge overtime. Be sure you know when that time starts and begin your move early enough to avoid those rates.

6.        Pictures, Plants and Lamps

If you are doing a local move, you can save money with your Utah movers if you move your own pictures, plants and lamps. These items are time consuming and must be packed in a box if you want movers to put them in the moving truck. If you can move them in your own car, it saves time and money.

7.        Pack Your Boxes Correctly

Be sure your boxes are packed correctly. Boxes should not weigh more than 50 lbs each and be totally enclosed. If boxes are open topped, it makes loading the truck more difficult and it will slow down your movers.

Many Utah movers will work with your budget. It is possible to hire movers for just several hours to move your big items only.  Your move can be tailored to meet your specific needs and budget.
