Choosing the type of move you want in advance, whether a truck rental move or full-service move, can really relieve your anxiety. Find out the differences between the three types of moves.
Besides planning for a wedding, planning a move can be the most stressful and anxiety producing time of your life. Basically, you're taking everything that you ever owned, packing it up, and shipping it and yourself off to a new location. There are things that you can do to reduce this anxiety, and one of the first steps that you can take is deciding what type of moving methods you want to use. Listed below are the three main types of moving methods available for your next move.
Full service moving companies
These types of movers are heavily advertised, in both print ad and online sites. They take care of all the lifting, loading and unloading of your boxes. They even drive the truck rental and if you want, they can even pack and unpack your belongings for an extra charge. If you have limited time and patience for your move, this is the type of move to choose. However, with the convenience factor comes the hefty price tag. Full service moving companies charge more than any other type of moving company.
Self-service option
If your looking to save some money on your move but don't feel comfortable driving the truck rental, the self-service option might be ideal. As its name suggests, this type of move requires that you take care of the brunt of the move by yourself. You'll be responsible for packing, loading and unloading the truck rental and unpacking your belongings. The only part of the move that you won't be involved in is the driving of the truck rental vehicle. With this type of option, the moving company provides a driver for the truck rental. That might be extremely beneficial if you're hesitant to drive a truck, especially if you're moving long-distance.
Truck rental option
If you want to spend the least amount of money on your move, consider a do-it-yourself or truck rental move. Similar to a self-service move, you handle the packing, loading, unloading and unpacking of your belongings. The big difference between the two methods, however, is that you drive the truck by yourself, thereby, saving you even more money on your move.
