Relocating to Truckee or Tahoe: Choosing a Mover
If you’re planning on relocating to Truckee or the Tahoe area, you can lower inevitable moving stress by selecting a reputable moving company. Entrusting strangers with your valuables can be nerve wracking, so remember to conduct research before getting roped into a contract with a moving company you distrust.
Selecting a Quality Moving Company
Consider the following tips before deciding on a Truckee or Tahoe moving company:
- Plan ahead. Investigate companies at least six to eight weeks before your move—especially if your move occurs on a weekend or near the end of the month. Truckee moving companies book up during these times, so getting moving quotes and making early arrangements will help you reserve the company you prefer—on the dates you need.
- Make sure your Tahoe mover is licensed, insured and bonded. Reputable, honest movers should be willing to provide residents with proof of insurance and licensing. You may also wish to call the Better Business Bureau to ensure the company you choose doesn’t have outstanding complaints or unresolved disputes.
- Inform your moving company staff about heavy items or valuable belongings. If your Truckee mover needs to pack and transport a piano or treasured heirloom, make sure they know in advance. There may be an additional charge for moving heavy or odd-shaped items.
- Understand the estimate. Does the cost include packing all or some of your items? How much does the moving company charge to transport your automobile or recreational vehicle to the Tahoe area?
- Ask for a written contract. Reputable moving companies should supply you with a written document that specifically discusses pricing, pick-up and drop-off times, and claims protection. Make sure you read the contractual agreement in advance and understand all of its details.
