It’s no secret that moving can be a challenge, not only physically but financially as well. It’s why many people try moving on a budget, spending only on necessities while looking for ways to cut costs elsewhere.

You might think hiring movers would blow the budget, but that’s not always the case. You can hire moving labor and experience a more efficient move without breaking the bank. In fact, the Moving Help® Marketplace can even help you save money on moving without sacrificing convenience.

1. Pay Only for the Hours You Need

When you hire moving labor from the Moving Help Marketplace, you can customize every aspect of your service to suit your needs. This includes choosing the number of hours needed. Since Moving Help charges by the hour for most services, you have the flexibility to select the number of hours that fit within your moving budget.

Other custom options in the Moving Help Marketplace include the number of helpers and the level of service (packing, labor only, etc.) This gives you even more control over your total cost, so you only pay for what you truly need.

2. Save Money by Hiring Moving Help Instead of Full-Service Movers

If you’re looking to hire movers on a budget, the Moving Help Marketplace has what you need with moving labor. The local Service Providers available through the Marketplace are available at a lower cost than traditional moving companies on average.

In fact, the cost for two hours and two movers via Moving Help ranges from $211 to $363 on average, while the cost for traditional, full-service movers can exceed $1,000 for a local move, according to moving.com.

3. Save Time With Movers and Avoid Truck Rental Late Fees

Are you renting a truck for your move? Good choice! A truck rental is often one of the most affordable ways to move your belongings. Keep in mind, however, that returning your truck after your scheduled day/time will result in extra fees.

The best way to avoid these fees is, of course, to keep your move on schedule. Moving labor from the Moving Help Marketplace will ensure your move is streamlined, so you can return your truck not only on time, but ahead of schedule, giving you one less thing to worry about.

4. Stick to Your Budget With Transparent Pricing

If you’ve ever shopped around for anything, you’ve probably noticed how hard it is to get an upfront quote that’s fully transparent without hidden fees. This makes it difficult to budget accordingly and find the right service for you.

The Moving Help Marketplace bucks this trend by providing transparent, upfront quotes, allowing you to shop freely for the service that fits your moving budget. Select the hours, number of helpers, and type of service(s) you want, and see exactly what you’ll pay with no surprises.

5. Get Your Deposit Back With Professional Home Cleaning Services

Ensuring you get your security deposit back is a great way to give yourself a financial boost after you move. We know the thought of deep cleaning after moving is probably enough to make you cringe, that’s why Moving Help Service Providers also offer home cleaning services.

Customers provide the cleaning supplies. Then the Moving Helpers take care of the cleaning.

An additional service might be tough to fit in your budget when it’s already tight but getting that cash back will surely come in handy while you settle into your new space.
