Are you ready to get a quote for your upcoming move or storage project? 1-800-PACK-RAT is the moving and storage company that is here to assist you every step of the way. Getting a quote is the first step in getting your upcoming moving or storage event off on the right foot. But how does one make sure you get the correct quote for your moving and storage needs? Since we get this question a lot, we thought we’d share the best ways you can get the most accurate quote possible.

Moving and Storage Services: At 1-800-PACK-RAT, we have three primary services: local moving, long-distance moving, and temporary or long-term storage for your things. Knowing how far away your new home is for a move will be the key differentiator between your move being a local or long-distance move. Knowing how long you will need storage for or where you would like to have it (on-site or in one of our nationwide facility locations) will also be necessary for determining your storage quote. Also, consider how much space you will require to fit your needs. Check out our portable storage containers and their specs to see which container size gives you the amount of space you need.

Consider Your Variables: Every service has its own set of variables to calculate the best price. You’ll find that 1-800-PACK-RAT works very hard to offer competitive pricing! Part of the reason we can do that is that we consider all variables. In fact, with a long-distance move, there are a wide variety of variables, including the distance between ZIP codes, the flexibility of your move dates, container availability, and more. Check out what goes into the cost of making your move happen to learn more!

1-800-PACK-RAT also has seasonal specials and promos that you can enter into your quote to help reduce the price of your moving and storage services. We want to make sure that your move is as simple and cost-effective as possible, and speaking with one of our moving and storage experts might be the best way to ensure you get all of your needs addressed. Rest assured, though, that our moving specialists have heard it all and are here to help every step of the way!

Additional Services to Add to Your Moving and Storage Order: Many of our moving and storage customers find that they need other services, as well, including moving blankets or even someone to help them load and unload. Fortunately, 1-800-PACK-RAT offers a variety of helpful services or trusted partners to assist you with your move.

1-800-PACK-RAT offers moving and storage supplies that can be shipped directly to your door. Whether you need moving blankets, boxes, tape, or even container-specific kits, you can shop for all the supplies you need and have them delivered to you. Additional services we offer include trusted third-party professional labor providers who can help you pack and unpack your stuff. We also have trusted third-party car shippers who can transport your vehicle to your new home without any wear or tear. Let us help you make your move as easy as it can be!

As you can see, many factors contribute to 1-800-PACK-RAT’s reputation for quality and price, but it does require a call from you to make it all happen! Call us today to get the most accurate and competitive quote for moving or storing your stuff.
