How to choose a moving company in Chicago
- For interstate moves, look up the mover's USDOT number and registration with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Local moves are regulated by your state.
- Get written estimates after an in-home or video survey. Be careful with quotes given sight unseen, and learn whether the price is binding, non-binding, or capped.
- Ask about valuation coverage and how damage claims work. Basic liability is often limited by weight, so consider additional protection for valuable items.
- Watch for red flags such as a large upfront deposit, no company name on the truck, or refusing to put terms in writing. Never sign a blank contract.
