No Car? 4 Ways Your Movers Can Help Get Everything Done

27 December 2022 by Stephen Patterson

Most Americans rely on their cars and trucks to get them around and take care of all the little details that life calls for. So when you don't have a vehicle or a licensed driver, other tasks become even more challenging.  

One such project is moving to a new house or apartment. Without your own car or truck, you will probably need more help. And professional movers are the ones to call on. What services can your local movers provide that will ensure a successful move even with your limitations? Here are four of the most important. 

1. Packing Supplies

If you can't drive around town picking up all the packing supplies you need, look for a moving company that sells and rents them instead. This is particularly important as you get close to moving day, when even options like online ordering may come too late. 

2. Transporting Your Stuff

Of course, the primary service of a moving company is physically transporting your household goods from Point A to Point B. 

Many people add their own vehicles to the pool of transportation, using private cars and trucks as a supplement. So if you don't have that option, make sure you work with a company that has the right size trucks, flexible availability, and equipment to take specialized items. 

3. Storage Services

While the most convenient move is out of one home and directly into your new one, some people have to store their belongings in between. This often happens if you haven't yet purchased your new house, your leases don't overlap, or you have to move with little notice. 

Did you know that movers today often offer integrated storage services? They take your things to storage, keep them securely for as little — or as long as — you need, and then deliver them elsewhere. You don't need to transport anything. 

4. Concierge Services

Could you use help with other moving tasks aside from just transportation? More and more movers can offer concierge moving services tailored to your particular needs. This might include help starting or stopping utilities, white glove delivery, special crating, notifying service providers of your address change, and more. 

Concierge services fill in the gaps between what you need to have done and what you can actually do on your own. 

Where to Start

No matter how much or how little help you need to make up for your own limited circumstances, a good moving company is the best resource to call on. Learn more about their services by making an appointment today.
