For apartment dwellers, self-moving is an affordable option. If you are moving on a budget, you will be doing the packing and other work. You'll cut a few dollars off your expenses even when you are moving long-distance.
Here's how to do a self-move from your apartment:
- Inform your landlord about your moving date and other plans. Talk about your rental agreement to get your deposit back, any papers you need to sign, parking requirements, and other questions you may have.
- Start getting moving estimates. Self-moving companies charge less than those who offer full-service options.
- You can also rent a truck and drive it yourself, or pack your stuff and hire someone to drive the rental truck. This is more convenient and it facilitates safe transit of your belongings.
- Be sure to select the appropriate equipment and supplies for your move.
- Before you start packing, go through your things and see what items you can donate, discard, or sell. The less space in the trailer, the more you save!
- If you have a flexible moving day, move on an off-peak (during weekdays or at the beginning of the month).
- Start planning your move. Read our packing tips and moving advice.
