The cost of a long-distance move adds to the stress of completing such a relocation. We should know. The experienced movers from Foster Van Lines have offered long-distance moving services since 1941, and we’ve helped thousands of people enjoy hassle-free relocations.

Our years in business have also given us insight into some ways that it’s possible to save on your move—and our Bay Area movers are happy to share some tips below.

Downsize

The cost of the move is, in part, determined by how much stuff you move. That’s why it’s a good idea to downsize before your move rather than paying to haul things you no longer use or need. As you prepare for your long-distance move, go through your belongings and separate in to keep, donate, and trash piles. Not only will you save on your move, but you’ll also be able to start fresh in your new place.

Rethink Storage

Many people need to store some items before, during, and after a move—but some people leave things in storage too long. This tip, in a way, goes hand-in-hand with downsizing. If you don’t need something, you shouldn’t pay to move it, and you shouldn’t pay to store it.

Hire the Right Movers

Some long-distance moving companies charge much more than others. While that doesn’t mean you should choose movers based on cost alone, you also shouldn’t overpay for the services you need. Our Bay Area moving company is proud to offer our highly reviewed services at competitive prices.

Foster Van Lines’ residential movers bring more than 80 years of experience to your relocation. That experience and our commitment to excellent customer service make it easy to see why we’re the smart choice.
