Moving by Yourself.

The cheapest way to move across the country is to move by yourself. Make sure you do not forget anything and avoid most of the moving mistakes. Check out some of our advice.

You pack your own belongings, rent a moving truck, load it yourself, and drive it yourself across the country, towing your car behind you. Let’s see some expenses that you can have anyway while moving by yourself. Two people moving long-distance across the country for instance.

1. 1. • An estimate for a rental truck plus a 4 wheel car carrier will cost about $1500.
      • Movers that pack the truck, around $200.
      • A hotel room for 1 night, additional nights staying with family and food along the way $400.
      • Gas along the way about $300-600.

As we can see there are different solutions that’ll cut the expenses. Other options for a local or long distance move are less taxing on your wallet without taxing your back instead, and without forcing you to drive an extremely large moving rental truck thousands of miles either. You can actually put together a moving service with renting a portable storage container or space in a freight trailer and then hiring movers to do the heavy lifting.

Each moving story is unique and surely the factors that play heavy for one family may not for another.
