Is It Be A Good Idea For Me To Hire A Mover, Or Would It Be Beneficial For Me To Rental A Truck To Move?

When you plan to move, one of the questions that pops into your head is whether you should just hire a moving company or just rent a truck where you pack everything by yourself. Today, we are going to discuss the list of pros and cons of both of them and decide which one you prefer.

First of all, let’s list down the pros and cons of hiring a moving company:

Pros:

• Seeing as these people are professionals, you won’t have to worry a lot about your stuff being damaged or broken. They also know how to pack your furniture and other objects so that it’s easier to unpack. These people are trained for this kind of stuff and are probably more used to this than you are.
• When you hire a moving company, you’ll have even less to worry about since you won’t need to search everywhere for a bunch of boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and so much more, which may get expensive since it depends if you have these items or not.
• Carrying boxes and furniture all day requires a lot of effort and time if you plan on moving by yourself, and again unpacking these items can get quite stressful. This can also allow you to focus more on work, or family and anything else, which is more important.

Cons:

• Hiring professional movers can actually get quite expensive since it ranges between $422 and 1,210. You might not have enough cash to hire a moving company which will require you to be more patient so that you’ll be able to invest in hiring professional movers.
• If you are a person who likes to do everything themselves and have control, maybe hiring people to move your stuff may not be your cup of tea.
• When you hire professional movers, you need to have complete trust in them since having strangers transport your items from furniture to sentimental items, and valuable objects can maybe make you feel uncomfortable.

Now that we’re done discussing the list of pros and cons of hiring professional movers, let’s move on with the pros and cons of moving by yourself

Pros:

• If you like to be more in control and know and control how things are packed, loaded, and lastly, transported, maybe this is for you. It can also be that you like to be independent and like to do it yourself.
• If you want to save more money, maybe doing it yourself may actually be for you, but it also depends on the distance you’re traveling and how much stuff you plan to be transferred or transported.

Cons:

• I’m pretty sure that this is a pretty obvious con, which is heavy lifting, which may also require other people’s help since I’m sure that you can’t carry everything on your own.
• If any unexpected problems come up, maybe your couch doesn’t fit through the door can be a huge problem since you wouldn’t really know how to fix that which may require professional help.
• Admit it, moving by yourself requires a lot of planning compared to hiring professionals, you may also need to buy supplies which may get quite costly. Well anyway, you’ll basically just get super stressed than you are when hiring professionals.

I hope this could help you choose which way you should go, hiring a moving company, or moving just by yourself.
