In Todays Economy Consumers Are Turning To Do-it-yourself Moving Options To Keep Costs Down!

Aug. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Lancaster, PA - In today's economy consumers are turning to do-it-yourself moving options to keep costs down. Let’s discuss a few of these options:

Truck Rental:
If you are looking to save money on your move, this is the option that many consumers choose thinking they'll be able to get the "Cheapest" move. Although costing less than a Van Line or Full Service company it is not the least expensive option out there today. Consider the rising cost of fuel, the cost of food/hotels, and don't forget the added cost of your time.

There are options to choose from – Some companies will give you discounts and some will guarantee the lowest price. Be sure to get a few quotes to ensure you're getting the best deal.

Penske Truck
Budget Truck
Enterprise Truck Rental
Ryder Truck Rental

Truck & Driver:
This is an option that many consumers are NOT aware of. Since the economy started to fall more and more freight companies have started hauling household good shipments. This option, in most cases, is less expensive than simply renting a truck when you add everything involved. The company provides the space needed, the driver, and the fuel. Be sure to compare the companies below to the truck rental quotes you get above.

Bonhomme Logistics
UPack
Broadway Express
Movex (Pricing is higher than others above - My Opinion!)

Containerized Moving:
There are a rising number of companies that provide this very unique service. Somewhere between the cost of a Truck Rental and a Full Service Van Line you can have a container dropped at your home and then moved to your new home. In most cases the move includes up to (30) days of storage.

This option although a bit more than both options above does reduce the risk of claims to your household items. Packing a container tight is much easier than packing a truck or trailer.
