Keep costs to a minimum when you are moving. Moving and relocation can be very expensive. Compare moving companies, consider a DIY move, buy used moving supplies and look for more ways to finance your moving costs that will provide you with a return on your investment before you plan your move.

Compare Moving Companies Before You Go

When you compare moving companies, look at service records and customer testimonials in addition to costs. A cheap moving company isn’t worthwhile if they don’t do good work. Make sure that when you compare moving companies they know that you are working with other companies and be sure to ask about special discounts and sales.

Reduce Relocation Costs By Moving Yourself

Move yourself instead of hiring professional movers to make moving cheaper. Relocation costs are slashed when you move yourself. Whether you pay a company for moving and relocation or do it yourself, remember that certain days of the month and days of the week can be cheaper to move. Ask about the best days to move to see if this can reduce your moving costs.

Cut Relocation Cost By Buying Used Moving Supplies

Cut relocation costs by buying used moving supplies including boxes from websites like Craigslist. Many people even give away their boxes and other cheap moving supplies free. Start looking for supplies at least a couple of months before you move to reduce relocation costs. If you wait until right before you move, you may have to pay more just to make sure that you have enough boxes and other supplies.

Get Money Back From Moving And Relocation Costs

You can save money on moving and relocation with rewards credit cards and cash back cards . These credit cards provide you with rewards and cash back just for using the card and many provide instant decisions on online applications. Using cash back credit cards for big purchases like moving and relocation can provide you with a lot of cash or rewards like a free airline ticket, an additional savings on your move.

Moving to another state tips
By: erber92 | 13-04-2008
 I'm going to be moving to San Antonio TX from upstate NY in about 3 months.  I'm taking my furniture with me (which is only a room full) because I worked really hard for what I have and I really don't want to sell it.  I'm thinking about renting a moving truck and towing my car there. However, I didn't realize that the cost would be in the thousands.  Has anyone done this before and found a cheaper way to make this move?  Saving up 2k in 3mths will not be easy for me to do.  Please help??
