To find reputable but affordable movers you better start your research as soon as you know you’ll be moving. The best of all would be booking professionals at least 30 days in advance. Definitely more time will give you more options. Also you may have a discount for early booking. For example, our site a2bmoversinc.com provides our new clients with a discount coupon for signing up.

Hire locals
Considering small local movers instead of federal giants will save you a pretty penny. Locals often offer an excellent service at reasonable prices. For example, a2bmovers provides two movers and a truck from 104$/hr including insurance – one of the best prices in San Francisco.
Get estimates
Be aware that estimates given online or via phone are approximate and can’t be accurate. Instead of that consider visual or video survey. Better try several in-home estimates and choose the one with the best offer. Company staff will come to your place and make a visual survey of everything you want to be packed and moved. Also movers will take a good look at potential issues and problem situations such as a lack of elevator, narrow corridors, etc. It is absolutely free. Our company guarantees the final price of your relocation won’t be higher than the one estimated in-home. One more useful service a2bmovers provide – video estimate. Undoubtedly it will save your time a lot!
Verify company’s license
Very important to check wether the moving company is authorised to operate in California. Movers are licensed and regulated by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. You can simply check the company here, on Bureau’s site https://bhgs.dca.ca.gov/enforcement/lookup.shtml If movers operate between states, they must have a number issued by the Department of Transportation. It is a license that identifies commercial vehicles transporting passengers or hauling cargo in interstate commerce. Checking it is also easy on U.S. Department of Transportation site https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx . All you’ve got to do – is just to enter USDOT number or the company name and get all the available information. If you decide to choose a2bmovers, be sure we’re licensed in California Public Utilities Commission and authorised to operate in the state.
Movers should be insured
The moving company should be properly insured in case any of your possessions break or get lost during the move. The expense then can be recovered through an insurance claim.
