A move across town can take most of a day if the truck cannot park near the building. A longer trip may involve fewer belongings but additional travel and storage costs. Distance matters, yet the useful budget also includes the work needed at both ends.

Begin with an inventory, the two addresses, access details and the dates you need service. Give the same information to every company or truck-rental provider you compare. The distance choices below suggest a planning starting point; they are not price bands or a substitute for a written estimate.
