When to Book a Moving Company

When to Book a Moving CompanyWhen preparing for your upcoming move, you may be wondering how far in advance you must book the movers. The short answer is, the earlier you book your movers the better. It also depends on what type of relocation you are hiring movers for. If you are moving locally within the Phoenix, AZ, area, then you do not need to book movers as far in advance as if you were moving across the country. This is because facilitating a cross-country move requires more planning and resources for the moving company. Additionally, the time of year during which you move can affect the availability of moving companies. The most popular time to move is in the summer when kids are out of school. Because of this, moving companies can get booked more quickly in the summer months than the rest of the year.

With these factors in mind, here are some general guidelines for when to book your movers. Keep in mind that these recommendations are for the minimum amount of time you should book, you can always book movers sooner than these recommendations.

  • Local move during the summer – Eight weeks in advance
  • Long distance move during the summer – Three months in advance
  • Local move during the off-season – Six weeks in advance
  • Long distance move during the off-season – Two months in advance
