Long Distance Moving Tips to Save You Time and Money

Whether you are moving to a new country or just moving a few hundred miles away, juggling a long distance move can be a bit difficult. With some moves you can simply throw everything you own into the back of your car and call it a day, but that really is not the case when it comes to a long distance move. A longer move is more complex in nature and requires a ton of careful planning in efforts to ensure that you have a fully successful move. Luckily, there are some tips and tricks that you can use to make the process significantly easier.

As mentioned above, long distance moving is not considered to be the simplest of tasks. You may feel as though you have to take on this task yourself, but that is simply not the case. You may find it beneficial to seek out the assistance of a moving company. You'll want to consult with a few companies in efforts to find which one is most reputable and is deemed to be most trustworthy. While you may want to pinch pennies, it is also important to consider that the cheapest option is not always necessarily the best option around. Moving companies are experienced and know how to get you from point A to Point B with all your belongings intact. Coast Movers has years of experience and have been a key component in several successful moves.

You likely want your belongings to be as safe as possible while moving, regardless of whether or not you deem them to be especially valuable. It may be a wise move to purchase moving insurance. This insurance is designed to protect your belongings and potentially replace them in the event that something happens to them. Not all insurance plans are made the same, so it would be best to double check what is actually covered by your plan. If you have any questions or concerns, your insurance agent is likely more than willingly to sit down with you and discuss any questions or concerns that you may have.

It seems as though there has been a rather recent increased demand for long distance moving, this means that it is critical to develop a plan once you have committed to relocating to another location. You should start this process as soon as possible in order to make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible and you do not forget anything particularly important. It would be best to create a list of all the things that you desire to accomplish before your official moving day, such as packing your belongings and the logistics of changing your address or securing a new job. This enables you to stay within your necessary timetable and meet any previously set deadlines, further reducing the costs that you will incur.

Coast Movers is by far one of the most reliable long distance moving companies around. We have years of experience pleasing customers and ensuring that their belongings securely make it to their intended destination. Give us a call and we'll set up a consultation with you.

 Verified Great Experience.  Needed a couple of movers to help move in my Daughter for a job relocation.  On short notice Coast Movers came through.   Jonathan, the owner, was super helpful.  Along with a good price they helped out when we had a vehicle breakdown and had to change the move date/time on less than 24 hours notice.   The two movers that came out were polite and worked very fast.   Great experience and I highly recommend Coast Movers.

 Verified I only needed a baby grand piano to be moved from a friends house in GH to ours in GH, so I contacted Coast Movers. The owner, Jonathan, was great in helping me understand what was involved, and later got me in touch with Jason, who took care of the scheduling. They did a great job in getting the job done around their other bigger jobs, and went out of their way to make it happen seamlessly. The three man crew knew how to handle the instrument, including disassembly, protecting, and re-assembly. All done in a little less than three hours from start to finish. The pricing was fair and honest, and I was more than happy to tip the crew for a job well-done. Oftentimes, some movers will trap customers once they have your items on the truck, only to tell you then that the price is going to be more than quoted. I've had that happen to me in the past, but in this case, the price was exactly what I was told it would be! Now I understand why Coast Movers has been in business for 15-years. It was a bonus to find a local company to support, too. Thank you, Coast Movers and the excellent crew who helped us with this project yesterday!

 Verified The 3 man team that moved my son was amazing. For 7 hours they did not stop moving except for a short lunch break. Coast Movers moved from a 3 story place with lots of tight corners to a 2 story with more tight corners and didn't damage a single wall or piece of furniture. They brought supplies to protect our walls and doorways and furniture and treated every box/piece of furniture like it was their own.

 Verified I've used Coast Movers more than once in the past. I've also referred friends and family.
I've experienced and heard nothing but great things!
I'd definitely recommend them if you're in search of moving service in or near the Gig Harbor, Seattle, or Kitsap area! Good communication and easy to deal with! The price quotes
And expected move times were right on the money. And prices were lower than expected. Always Less than competitor's prices.
