Time your move during the off season when demand doesn’t inflate moving costs. Peak moving periods are between June and September when kids are out of school and weather is nicer. Avoid moving during the first and last parts of any month when renters typically move and try to avoid moving on weekends when everyone wants to move. One of the best ways to save on moving costs is to have less stuff to move. Lighten your load by downsizing your household items with a well-planned garage sale to make money and save money and/or donate items you seldom use to local charities for a tax deduction.

Take advantage of moving apps that make moving easier. Look for apps that help connect and disconnect utilities or inventory your belongings while you pack. Some apps offer complete dashboards to make vital moving tasks a breeze, like updating your address on all your crucial correspondence.

Make moving day go more smoothly by being prepared for your movers’ arrival. Nothing frustrates movers more than standing around while you finish packing, and it could cost you more depending on the delay. When possible, have someone babysit kids and/or pets, so they’re not underfoot and potentially slowing things down. Remember to pack an essentials box that includes everything you need for a couple of days, so you don’t have to start unpacking immediately upon arrival.
