How to Find a Trusted Moving Company

You can find movers you trust at Bekins Van Lines. We’re one of the oldest and most trusted moving companies in the United States. But don’t take our word for it—here’s a guide to help you make the best choice for your move:

Ask for Recommendations:

- - Speak to family, friends, and coworkers who’ve had positive moving experiences.
  - Consult your real estate agent, senior move manager or brokerage for potential discounts or referrals.

Shop Around:

- - Don’t settle for the first quote. Get estimates from at least three different companies.
  - Opt for companies that offer free moving estimates, either in-person or virtually.

Beware of Scammers:

- - Avoid companies demanding cash deposits upfront.
  - Be wary of movers who are late, unsure, or unprofessional during estimates.
  - Avoid companies using unmarked or rented vehicles.

Verify Licenses & Insurance:

- - Check the company’s USDOT number with the FMCSA.
  - For local moves, consult your local consumer affairs agency.

Check Online Reviews:

- Visit the company’s website for reviews from previous customers.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smoother moving experience and avoid potential pitfalls. Whether you’re looking for an in-state moving company or a long distance moving company, we can help you make the right decision. Reach out with any questions you may have!
