The longer your move is, the more it costs in terms of the truck depreciation, fuel, and driver time. - **Size of Your Move** - Besides the time it will take to load and unload your possessions, the difference between needing one truck and two trucks is quite large, in terms of price. - **Moving Obstacles** - A key moving tip to consider - if movers have to climb (or descend) a couple flights of stairs, that will add to the amount of time needed to accomplish the move. Our movers are ready for the challenge! But it will take longer, and that may affect the long-distance moving cost. - **When will the move be?** - Demand for movers is almost always higher on weekends and in the summer. If you're able to be a bit flexible with your move date, you might be able to save some money. It also pays to book as far in advance as you can (and brings you some peace of mind).
