Get quotes from Moving Companies in Utah

A move within the state or 100-mile radius is a local move and it is calculated differently from interstate and long-distance/cross-country moving. In Utah, it is calculated on an hourly basis depending on how many laborers are required to complete the task.

A mover in Utah would require a minimum of 2 workers to work approximately 2 hours to move a 1-bedroom house, in addition to the 1 hour drive time. This means, you’ll be paying for at least 3 hours for 2 movers and the average cost is roughly around $50-$75 per mover per hour. You would require paying something between $250 and $300, unless your move needs more hours or more people.

While moving outside Utah (interstate or long-distance), you may require traveling thousands of miles and that makes you rely upon a professional moving company. However, to move locally in Utah, you don’t need a professional company, instead, there are many options that are cheaper and will save you hundreds of dollars.

Different ways to move somewhere inside Utah

• Hire a full-service or partial moving service company

  When you assign a full-service moving company in Utah the task to relocate the home, it will accomplish the task in a short time, efficiently. The company’s professionals will pack your belongings, load the truck, unload it, and arrange them inside the home. Bringing in a moving company will give the moving process a professional touch and the process will be fast and effortless.

  However, a full-service moving company can be expensive and you can consider a partial moving service company if the budget is beyond your reach.

• Hire a truck and load it with your stuff

  You don’t need a professional moving company to relocate the home. Instead, get a truck on rent and fill it with the household stuff to drive it to the new home. Moving the home locally in Utah this way is cheaper and you will have the freedom to take moving-related decisions. The only cost you need to bear is the truck rental, which may be somewhere around $30 to $47 per day plus the fuel cost.

• Hire a portable container

  In Utah, you can get a portable moving container for rent. After you fill it with your belongings, inform the mover which will deliver the moving container to the new local address in a few days. One of the advantages of hiring a portable container is the comfort factor. You can fill it at your convenience and a container will save you hundreds of dollars as it would cost you just around $400 to $500 within a 50-mile radius.

• Rent a tow behind cargo or utility trailer

  When your household items are very less in volume, you can rent a utility trailer. When you are done with the loading, tow it behind your vehicle and drive to the new home in Utah.

• Move the stuff in your car

  You can even move the household stuff in a car. Squeeze everything into the car with open seats, floors, and a trunk. This is extremely cheap and you don’t have to spend anything extra.

In Utah, you’ve got many ways to move the home locally. And mostly they are DIY options. However, when your new home is many states away, you need to depend upon a moving company because driving a truck through multiple states is expensive and not to mention the gas, drive time, and all the headaches that come with driving long distances.

And you’ve got two options to move cross-country or long distance:

Full Service Moving:

Hire a professional full-service moving company in Utah to make the process easier, smoother, and comfortable. When you have a professional team at your side, handling special items becomes easy and hassle-free. Also, the entire relocation process will become faster. A mover will also take up additional add-ons as and when required.

Partial Moving Services:

Usually full-service movers are a little costlier and when you feel they are beyond your budget, consider hiring a partial moving service company. The services are cheaper and the company will help you load and unload the truck. Also, you can ask for packing services for an extra amount.
