Sticking to your budget when moving can be difficult. Between the purchase of moving equipment and the intervention of a moving company, the budget can quickly be exceeded. To avoid this, it is important to organize yourself beforehand and to learn as much as possible about the possibilities of moving cheaply.

How to Move Inexpensively

Here are some of the best ways to save on your move.

Sort Through Your Stuff

When moving, it is necessary to sort through your belongings to know what you are taking with you and what you are getting rid of. This step is crucial because it will give you a clear idea of ​​the size of the transport vehicle to choose.

After you have sorted all your things, you will have a precise idea of ​​the number of boxes and packaging to get, which will directly impact the choice of truck. This will help you avoid renting a truck that is too large or, conversely, too small to transport all the boxes and furniture.

Collect Free Boxes and Packaging

There are several possibilities to obtain boxes and packaging for free:

• Keep the boxes of your orders delivered to your home
• Ask those around you to give you boxes and packaging that they no longer use;
• Go to supermarkets such as hypermarkets and supermarkets which throw away boxes of all sizes every day and always in good condition.

Choose the Right Time to Move

You should know that most of the moves occur during the same period: the summer period (June to September). Indeed, the arrival of good weather is having an impact on moving companies, which are seeing their demands increase. This strong demand can impact certain internal costs, which can have repercussions on the pricing of the service.

If possible, choose the low-season periods “October to December” and “January to March.” In this sense, do not hesitate to anticipate your move and call in a professional 2 to 3 months before the moving date you have chosen. Note that it is advisable to avoid weekends and the end of the month when demand is high.

Contact Your Loved Ones to Help You Move

If your budget does not allow you to delegate your entire move to a professional company, you can bring in your loved ones to come and lend you a hand for the D-day. Organize upstream.

Rent a Moving Truck

If you can’t get a moving truck through your home network, don’t panic! You can always hire one from a professional without incurring high costs.…
