Do it yourself

Do you have any experience driving a heavy moving truck on busy highways and narrow streets?

Are you going to move a fairly small apartment and have a few strong, very good friends who are able to help you, you can recruit?

If so, moving by yourself might be a good and an economical option for you, since you’re not paying for a professional mover to load and unload and drive your stuff. It’s also the option that gives you the most control on your move.

You have to be aware of hidden costs, such as insurance for the rental moving truck (your auto policy probably doesn’t cover this, and neither will the credit card you rent the moving truck with), fuel and the rental or purchase of special equipment you’ll need, like dollies and quilted furniture covers.

If you choose midweek or mid month to move you might get better rates for rent your moving truck. As soon as you have an exact moving date reserve the moving truck as far in advance as possible.

You pack and load; they drive.
