Renting a Moving Truck Versus Hiring Movers

Harris Self Storage is Ready for Your Moving Questions

Harris Self Storage in Radford, VA helps you decide between renting a moving truck versus hiring movers. Over our lifetime, we will have to decide if we want to move from one place to another. We may also just need to move a couple things out of our homes. That’s when you should decide between renting a moving truck and hiring movers. Here are some pros and cons according to moving.com.

 

 

Moving Yourself Saves Money, and Gives You Control Over the Move

If you’re the kind of person that likes having control over their move, this a great thing for you. This allows you to move at your own pace, and you don’t have to worry about someone else’s policy. This can help you make the move cheaper as you pack as you see fit with a truck.

 

 

Moving Means Plenty of Lifting, Planning, and Unexpected Problems

Moving everything yourself sounds great, but it can also bring big stress. You will have to do all the moving and lifting. You’ll have to plan things out on your own, which means you don’t have additional help. That can also make unexpected problems harder to manage.

 

 

Hiring a Mover Can Help with Efficiency, and Reduces Stress for You

Your moving professionals will handle all the lifting for you. That means you won’t have to worry about muscle strain, and more. Moving companies can make your move more efficient and keep your stress levels low. That can make the moving experience more positive for you.

 

 

Hiring a Mover Means Less Flexibility and Greater Expense

When you hire professionals, that means you have limited control over your move. That includes moving times and how the movers load your possessions. It creates trouble for those who love control. It can also get expensive, ranging around $2,500 for four movers and $200 per hour. It also doesn’t help that you may not know your movers very well.
