Moving Out of State? Make Sure You Bring These Essentials With You

Published: December 15, 2022

Making a cross-country move? Here are some helpful tips to make your journey go as smoothly as possible.

• Pick a state-to-state mover. Once you’ve decided, book your long-distance move with a reputable moving company that offers you the best terms and rates.
• Set a budget. Set a moving budget and be vigilant of your expenses. Out-of-state movers are usually the most costly expense, but other fees can catch you off guard if you’re not careful.
• Make an inventory. Before you start packing boxes and renting a truck, make an inventory of everything you own. Be ruthless about what you get rid of to save on the cost of your move. Remember, transportation isn’t cheap! You can sell unwanted items online or have a garage sale to earn some extra cash before moving day.
• Pack up your home. Start packing as soon as possible to ensure you have enough time, and make a checklist of essentials to keep track of what you need. With UNITS Moving & Portable Storage, our experienced movers will do the work for you so that your belongings are packed securely and efficiently.
• Obtain medical records. If you’re moving to a new city, it’s important to find a local doctor. Before you leave your old location, make sure to get your medical records and those of your family members so you can register with new doctors in the area where you’re moving.
• Change your address. Prior to your move, update your address with the post office and cancel any subscriptions. This way, you won’t have to worry about missing anything important during your transition.
• Prepare for the move. The safety of your children and pets should be your top priority when moving out of state. Try to keep their routines as normal as possible and plan your trip in advance.
