Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Idaho can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in Idaho, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
When a person in Idaho is planning to move to another area within the same state, it’s considered an intrastate move, also known as a local move. Just because it’s called a local move doesn’t mean it needs to be a short trip. In fact, an intrastate move could be much longer than an out-of-state move. The deciding factor is whether the moving route goes out of state.
One thing that’s important for people to keep in mind is that the entire route must be within the state. The moment the moving company travels out of state, the move is then governed under the long-distance moving jurisdiction. This is true whether the moving company made a wrong turn and went out of state or if they took a route that led out of state to save time. More information about long-distance moves is available on the Wirefly long-distance moving page.
The preparation for an intrastate move and a long-distance move are fairly similar. Consumers need to be figure out the logistics the same way and do the same amount of research. When a consumer plans the move in advance and compares their moving company options, they can get the best value and make sure they choose a reputable service.
Factors to consider when choosing a moving company include the size of truck needed, whether the consumer or the movers will pack everything, if a storage facility in the new city is necessary, and if the movers have proper insurance and licensing. With Wirefly, the latter is never a concern, because only moving companies with licenses and insurance are listed. The consumer should map out a budget to track all their potential moving costs and get quotes from a variety of moving companies in Idaho that they can compare. Wirefly can help the consumer evaluate moving companies and see which is the best option.
Your move will still be considered a long distance move whether you cross from one state line to the other or not on your way to the new home. The route selected might be projected to be the most convenient and the shorter option, but it might necessitate briefly crossing your state line while traveling to another city within the state. In that case, your move will still be categorized as long distance. Examples of places where that can happen are in states with uneven boundaries like states across the South and Northeast, Wisconsin, Texas, Minnesota, and Idaho.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) expects all the long distances movers from Idaho to be holders of a valid license. All the domestic trucking and moving industries are regulated by the FMCSA which is a federal governing body. If Wirefly refers any of its customers to another moving company, we firmly advise you to investigate the reputation of the enterprise; however, Wirefly is reputed to work with only properly insured and licensed companies. It is essential to review the records of a company's past performance such as complaints reports and accidents on the Wirefly website even if a mover possesses valid documentation.
And when comparing the referrals, you need to take all the variables that go into the quote for moving to determine whether a local move is cheaper than a long distance move. If the cost of helping to pack your belongings is not included in the estimates, the company that gives the lowest quote might not be the best deal for your move. A company with a higher flat might cost you less than a company that charges additional fee apart from the underlying charges. You should, therefore, ask the company you chose to give you a binding estimate that provides a guarantee that no hidden fees will spring up on you. The binding estimate should list out all the costs expected. The common questions most of Wirefly's customers in Idaho ask are like, whether they can pack their belongings and fly out before the movers arrive? Can they trust the movers to safely transport their belonging to the new home? Or could it make more sense for them to hire a truck, pack it up and drive it on their own?
Some people go beyond just moving across state lines. In some cases, some people move from one country to another completely, which is easily done in Idaho considering its location in relation to other countries further south. Therefore, many moving companies offer international services in a reliable way that has made them rather reputable for their services. The companies that offer this service are more than able to do as requested, and they are able to do so with reassurance.
Moving companies in the Idaho area that offer international moving services are all upstanding members of FIDI, which is the biggest alliance of professional movers who work on an international level. There are many ways to maintain the standards that make these companies an Accredited International Mover, and some research needs to be done on the part of the person moving to make sure these standards are upheld. Some locations to perform this research include the American Moving & Storage Association, the Better Business Bureau, and the Household Goods Forwarder Association. Looking into what information these sources contain on prospective moving companies will reveal which ones are the best for which to consider requesting a quote.
