*Estimates based on Moving Merchant partner data. Actual costs depend on access, packing requirements, and specific moving dates. Compare quotes for your exact route.
Long-distance moves require more planning. Book at least 8–12 weeks ahead — reputable companies are often fully booked on popular routes, especially in summer.
For long-distance moves, a professional packing service reduces the risk of damage in transit and saves you days of preparation. Ask your mover for an all-inclusive quote.
Some long-distance moves are split over two days — items collected on day one, delivered on day two. Confirm whether your mover includes secure overnight storage.
Check parking and access restrictions at both your current and new address well in advance. Arrange permits or suspensions if needed.
Ensure Goods in Transit insurance is appropriate for your journey. For valuable items, confirm the maximum claim value and any excess with your mover before booking.
