"We just had Citywide Moving move us from Fort Mill, SC to Murrells Inlet, SC. We have moved several times over the years and I can honestly say that we have never had a more professional and courteous experience with a move. The movers were excellent, thoughtful and showed a high degree of respect for our belongings. Both the load and the unload were accomplished with Zero damage to any of our belongings. I highly recommend Citywide Moving to anyone looking to move."

"The team at Reign Moving Solutions absolutely saved us this week. My parents are older and got their move-out date confused, and we found ourselves needing a moving company with an hour's notice. Reign came to our rescue, and their team did an amazing job! And I must add that this was not a simple move. They stored my parents' belongings for three days and provided last-minute moving supplies. I am truly blown away by the quality and care of this moving company! Top-notch and we will absolutely use them again!"

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs.
The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line.
For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.
In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.
If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.
Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move
Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive
Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date
Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date
Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home
Dispose of hazardous materials
Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
