To DIY or Not DIY
When relocating from coast to coast, doing it yourself (DIY) is probably not the best idea because it’s extremely difficult and risky, and no matter what, it won’t be cheap.
Driving a rented truck can also be a hassle because you are driving thousands of miles, which can take up to a week. By doing this, it can be physically and mentally draining due to paying for tolls, gas, parking, meals, and lodging. Not only this, but you should also make sure all your belongings are safe and not damaged from over-the-road shock and vibrations.
Your coast-to-coast move will be much easier and safer with the help of professional coast to coast movers.
Plan Your Budget
Keep in mind, that a coast-to-coast move is going to be expensive. There are many factors that tie into the overall cost.
The average coast-to-coast move costs about $14,000. A large portion of this price comes from transportation which is around $8,000 to $12,000 depending on your new location and if you use a truck rental service.
The best way to reduce these expenses is to gather multiple quotes from different truck rental companies if you are choosing to do the move yourself or professional moving companies. Also, if you can, try to move during the off-season, which is winter. During this time, moving companies sometimes offer discounts.
