Important Questions to Ask a Moving Company

Published June 28, 2013

Dealing with a moving company is not like dealing with your mom. They’re not out to protect you, to give you the best deal, to make sure everything revolves around you. Quite the opposite, really – they are out to make money… from you.

If you don’t want to get ripped off moving, you need to make sure to address the most important questions to ask a moving company. Get your movers on the phone, then elicit the answers you need to know.

If you don’t ask the right questions, your move might still go swimmingly. However, you’re opening yourself up to a bad time. On the flip side, if you make sure to get answers on all issues, there’s no room for the unexpected – you’ll know precisely what you’re getting.

Here are some of the most important questions to ask a moving company:

  • Are you insured?
  • What is the maximum price I’ll have to pay?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • What services do you offer?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
