Local Moving Made Simple

Ditch That Old Rental Truck

The old school way of moving was to rent a truck and do it all yourself. It involved some backbreaking work, lots of sweat, truck driving experience, and having to rush to get your stuff packed, driven to your new home, unpacked, and return the truck all in one day. With 1-800-PACK-RAT, we'll do all the door-to-door moving and driving for you. More and more people are seeing why portable storage is the simplest and cheapest way to move their stuff.

Frequently Asked Questions About 1-800-PACK-RAT Local Moving

How Does 1-800-PACK-RAT's Local Moving Process Work?

1-800-PACK-RAT makes moving and storage simple for our local moving customers. We work hard to make local moving easy because we know moving, no matter if it is across town or the country, can be tricky. We start by delivering your portable storage container directly to your door. You can then take as much time as you need to pack at your pace. When you are finished, give us a call, and we can have it delivered to your new home across town or have it stored in one of our local warehouse storage facilities until you need it.

Are 1-800-PACK-RAT's Local Moving Containers Secure?

Our containers are all-steel and weatherproof, ensuring the safety of your belongings inside from moisture and mildew build-up. Additionally, our containers have barn-style doors, which are more difficult to break into than the traditional roll-up style doors. The barn-style door design also won't jam if contents shift on the inside of the container. Our container loading process also keeps swaying and shifting of the container at a minimum, so your stuff is exactly the way you packed it when it arrives at your home. For extra peace of mind, you can also browse our selection of protection plans for your container(s).

What Sets 1-800-PACK-RAT Apart From Other Moving Companies?

1-800-PACK-RAT's moving and storage services are superior to our competitors for a variety of reasons. We provide local moving services with storage facilities located across the continental United States that can reach your location. Our all-steel containers keep belongings safer than our competitor's wood and plastic designed containers, and our barn-style doors keep your stuff safely locked away. We also make local relocation services simple by eliminating the need to rent a large and unfamiliar moving truck that you have to drive yourself, as well as any extra driving back and forth to a self-storage facility. 1-800-PACK-RAT allows you to leave the driving, stress, and process to us so you can focus on more important moving matters. Compare us to the competition and see how we can help you!
