How to Prepare for a Long-Distance Move
Preparing for a long-distance move involves careful organization and planning to ensure a smooth transition. Starting early is crucial; creating a detailed checklist can help you stay on track and avoid last-minute stress. Here’s an overview of the key steps to prepare for your move:
Create a Moving Plan
Creating a moving plan is essential for ensuring a smooth, long-distance move. Start by establishing a timeline, ideally beginning preparations at least two months to avoid last-minute stress. Develop a detailed budget that accounts for moving services, packing supplies, transportation, and any additional costs that might arise. To stay organized, create a to-do list that includes critical tasks like booking a moving company, sorting and packing belongings, changing your address, and arranging utilities at your new home. This plan will serve as a roadmap to help you efficiently manage every aspect of your move.
Declutter
Before packing, declutter your home. This process helps reduce moving costs, saves time, and simplifies unpacking at your new location. Start by sorting your belongings into categories: Keep, Donate, Sell, or Dispose of. This will lighten your load and make organizing and settling into your new home easier.
Plan for Pets
Moving with pets requires special attention to their comfort and safety. Schedule a vet visit to ensure your pets are healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Obtain travel crates that are comfortable and secure for the journey. Additionally, update your pet’s ID tags with your new address and contact information. This preparation helps ensure your pets’ well-being throughout the move and provides peace of mind.
Manage Utilities & Mail
To avoid disruptions, manage your utilities and mail well in advance. Schedule the disconnection of services like electricity, water, and internet at your current home and arrange their connection at your new location. Don’t forget to set up mail forwarding with the post office to ensure that your mail reaches you at your new address without interruption.
Essentials Bag
Pack an essentials bag with items you’ll need easy access to during the move. This should include important documents (such as passports and birth certificates), toiletries, medications, a change of clothes, snacks, and basic tools. These readily available essentials will make your move more comfortable and help you settle in quickly at your new home.
Pack Efficiently
Packing efficiently is key to making your long-distance move easier and more organized. Start by packing room by room, labeling each box with its contents and the corresponding room it belongs to in your new home. This will simplify unpacking and help movers know where everything goes. Keep an inventory of your items to track what you’ve packed and ensure nothing gets lost. Use high-quality packing materials, like bubble wrap and sturdy boxes, to protect fragile items.
Plan for Moving Day
On a moving day, staying organized and prepared is crucial to ensure everything goes smoothly. Start by confirming all travel arrangements, whether driving or flying and ensure any necessary tickets or reservations are in place. If you’re driving, map out your route and plan for rest stops. Pack a moving day essentials box with snacks, water, chargers, toiletries, and important documents you’ll need during the journey. Stay in contact with your movers and double-check that everything is loaded securely before hitting the road. Being well-prepared helps reduce stress and ensures a smoother transition to your new home.

What Does Long-Distance Moving Cost?
>p>The rate for your move can vary depending on several factors, including the month and date of the move, as prices can fluctuate based on demand and seasonality. The number of movers required is another crucial factor, as more complex or larger moves may need a bigger team.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us
“I hate moving but this team of wonderful men made it painless.They came out south by me through what must have been heavy traffic. Came in through the door with smiles and started working and working and working! Everything was handled so carefully. No mess was left behind. Their good nature was a blessing and they were still respectful, kind and good natured even making 3 stops and 9 hours! Awesome at their work but even better as good, solid young men! Thank you Enrique and Guys!”
-Loretta
“I’ve never hired movers before for a move but I am SO glad that I found Moovers – what a seamless, thoughtful, swift and professional process. They are super responsive every step of the way and the move itself was *flawless*! Thanks so much to Ricky and his crew for being so quick and thorough! They were in and out in the time quoted and were very kind and careful with everything. Truly felt like I was in really good hands. This is going to be my go to company in the future – thanks, Moovers, Ricky and the crew!”
-Lauren Kapinski
“I booked Moovers Chicago for a move that included a stop at a storage unit and into a 3 floor walk-up. The team of Daniel S., Alejandro, Jose M., and Lino were great! They arrived on time, took great care of my things, and were so fast and efficient that they finished earlier than estimated. Moving can be stressful and they made the day so easy! I would 100% recommend Moovers for your next move.”

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us
My Moovers team was incredible! Enrique, Juan, and Victor did a great job. They didn’t let the bitter cold or blustery snow slow them down. I still don’t know how they carry so many boxes at once. They were super efficient, friendly, and pleasant to work with. I haaaaate moving, but I hope I get this crew next time! Thanks again. 🙂
Kari Terzino
This was my first time using Moovers Chicago. They were ahead of schedule, so they called to see if they could arrive early. Enrique, Abner, Nick and Mariuin were extremely efficient and professional. They managed to finish my move in 3 hours, when the estimate was for 4-6. Would definitely use this company again!
Jamie Bushman
The Moovers team made my recent move to Chicago an easy process. Felipe, who led a team including Miguel and Jose, made a fantastic trio. They made sure everything got down, over, and up into my new place quickly and in perfect condition. While moves can be stressful, they made the day easier to manage, and everyone behind the scenes made sure I understood the costs and timing. Thanks, Moovers!
Amanda Carlson
Hired for a 3 bedroom apartment move and Marcos and his crew were amazing!! They completed our move very quickly - in half the estimated time. We came in waaay under the estimated cost! Would 100% use them for every and any move going forward. After a terrible experience with Two Men and a Truck around this same move I was very pleasantly surprised at how different this company was!
Book them and never look back!
Sara Mitchell-Guerra
These dudes are awesome! I cannot remember the names of all the movers, but Ceasar and his team were great! We gave them cupcakes after such an amazing job they did. Unfortunately there was an error on my end with giving them my number, but despite that they absolutely crushed our move! They were fantastic and I could not give them enough praise! They even performed under our estimated quote. My fiance and I could not be happier. They earned their tip fair and square. No damage to anything and all of our stuff was treated with care.
Allie George
We moved from Chicago to the suburbs today with this company. I am truly amazed by the professionalism level of their two guys - Abner and Caesar. They arrived on time and were very polite in their behavior. They climbed 3 level of stairs without even resting for a bit. They were very careful and diligent in moving our stuff without a single scratch or damage. I would like to recommend this business to everyone looking for movers service in Chicago area.
