Are you, or someone you know, planning on moving during the summer months? Moving can be a hectic time but adding in the summer temperatures can bring on even more issues.
Don’t let it get to you though – taking some tips from around the world of moving pros will let you cool down and get through your move in one piece.
Moving Tips
Check out these tips to reduce stress, save money, and save time during your summer time move.
- Determine how you will move. Will you do it yourself? Should you hire a licensed moving company for full or partial moving services? The answer depends on your lifestyle, budget, household size and time available to move and distance of move.
- Prepare for the costs of moving. Get written quotes from at least a few licensed moving companies to compare. Be certain that all the quoted prices include the moving needs you outlined for them.
- Learn about moving companies. Know what to expect if you decide to hire a professional mover. You have consumer rights with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for interstate transport.

In addition to those great ideas, keep in mind the safety of yourself and your family. If you have small children be prepared to spend extra time dealing with their needs and ensuring that they stay hydrated and out of the way of large objects being moved.
We’ve also touched on the dangers of hot vehicles – hopefully it goes without saying, but be sure to never leave your children unattended in a vehicle. This is extra dangerous in the summer when interior temperatures can go north of 120F in 80F weather!
Are you also getting your vehicle shipped? Take a minute to protect your interior by putting a sheet or cloth over the seats or benches. Doing so can help reduce the UV damage to your interior – this can really help if you are having your car shipped cross country in the US or if it is headed overseas.
