Self Moving Companies

Relocation can evoke multiple reactions from different people. While some relax after contacting the moving company who takes care of the entire move from start to finish, there are others who opt for truck rentals, pack themselves, load them on to the truck and drive the rented truck to their destinations. There are also people who in their bid to save money in relocation costs and also not too excited about driving a heavy-duty truck long distance, opt for self-service moving, which is also an equally exciting opportunity to save on relocation expenditure.

Self-service moving is a comparatively simpler option than driving a rented truck all the way to your new destination. All you have to do is to contact a good and reputed moving company and make necessary arrangements for bringing the right size of container, which can accommodate the volume of goods you wish to shift. You may even access a 28-feet container to carry your goods but pay only for the space used.

The process of using a self-service container is pretty simple. once the container is parked near your home, you simply load your packed furniture and other goods, lock them up and there you are – the company will come at an appointed time to pick up the container and reach your goods to the desired destination.

Sometimes these self-service containers are used by people who wish to use the space for temporary storage, that is, during the time which falls between two moves. The containers are brought and left in your lawn or near the gateway or at a place which is most convenient for you. Once you inform the company that they can remove the container, the company picks it up and reaches the container to the destination, where again you have unload your belongings. These containers are weather resistant and quite safe to store your goods temporarily.


Self Services Movers

Self-service moving options are most often less expensive than moving all by your self, if you take in account all the expenses that you will incur in gas, mileage, and the peace of mind that the container service will give you.

Most self-service moving companies include the cost of insurance in their price while some charge extra for the insurance coverage. It is best to ask before you hire. Ask the company the coverage details which can help you decide whether you need to buy additional insurance.

Packing and loading your goods yourself, can help you save a lot of relocation expenses, which otherwise you have to pay on the basis of hourly rates as charged by moving companies. The key factor is to compare all the rates of different options in front of you and then choose the right moving method. Costs of hiring containers would depend on the number of containers you take or the amount of space that you are using inside a container. It would also get affected on the distance that the carrier has to travel.
