Budget-Savvy Long-Distance Moves: Where to Save and Where to Invest

1. Don't Compromise on Valuation Coverage

An area where you should never cut costs is valuation coverage. This coverage protects your personal items in case of breakage or loss during transit. While it may seem like an extra expense, it's a crucial investment to secure your valuables.

2. DIY Packing vs. Professional Packing

Packing is a task where you can save without compromising on the quality of packing. Handling your packing can reduce costs significantly. It's also an opportunity to simplify and give away or sell items you no longer need. At Corrigan Moving Systems, we offer skilled packing services if you would rather leave it to the pros to handle your valuables. While there is a price, it can be worth it for the reassurance that comes with having your items packed securely.

Additionally, packing is not all or nothing. If you want to pack most of your items but would rather rely on our pros pack some of your precious belongings, then you can choose that option. During your in-home or virtual moving estimate, our experienced move representative can give you details and costs for a la carte packing, so you can have confidence without breaking the bank.

3. Moving During Off-Peak Times

Picking the date of your move wisely can lead to substantial savings. Moving during the off-season or on weekdays can help you get better rates. Our flexible scheduling options make sure you can select a time that fits your budget without jeopardizing quality service. Peak season in the relocation industry occurs between the months of May through September. Since demand is at its maximum during this time, so are the prices.
