- 1 Take an inventory of your possessions. Use this list to determine the number of boxes and the size of the truck you will need for your move.
- 2 Interview prospective truck rental companies, and ask what kinds of services and insurance coverage they offer. Be sure to check the quality of the company's rental vehicles as well.
- 3 Rent the appropriate size vehicle (trailer, truck or van). Most rental companies provide free guides to choosing a vehicle size.
- 4 Ask about the rental vehicle's pick-up and drop-off points; arrange the drop-off point to be as close to your destination as possible.
- 5 Make necessary travel arrangements, such as hotel reservations for a move that will take longer than a day, or separate plane or car arrangements if any family members will be traveling separately.
- 6 Rent or purchase appropriate moving aids, such as pry bars and appliance dollies for heavier furniture and appliances.
- 7 Sell or donate unwanted items - this will reduce your load and help make the moving process much easier.
- 8 Arrange to have family members or friends help you load your belongings at your old home and unload once you reach your destination.
