How to Find Out the Cost Of Your Relocation

Estimating the price of the relocation process is not easy, because it depends on more than one factor. Details such as distance play a major role in the final quote. You can use the free calculator that Trico offers to its clients, and get a ballpark number that will help you organize your finances.

Every relocation is a unique process because of the many factors that are calculated into the final price. Some of the major ones are:

  • The date of your relocation
  • The size of your property
  • The distance of the relocation
  • Car shipping and the type of car shipping
  • Storage and the duration of renting
  • Packing aid

The further you are traveling, the pricier your relocation will be. That also means that, if you are going somewhere near, your overall costs will be lower. Time your relocation in a way that you miss all high-demand relocation days. Summers tend to be pricier because of the higher demand, so if you want to save up, organize your relocation in the winter. If you don’t have a specific date when you want to move, call Trico, and our agents will talk you through the best periods with affordable price options.

When it comes to your precious belongings, the principle states that the more you have, the higher the final quote will be, because there are more things to pack. This is especially important if you have some luxury or valuable belongings that need additional protection.

The Distance Affects the Price

The total distance traveled is one of the key factors in getting the quote for your relocation. Relocating a few blocks down the street or to another part of the same city isn’t the same as relocating to another state.

This is one of the reasons why local relocations are much cheaper than cross-country ones, which is completely logical. With the help from a local mover, you can go from one part of the state to another, while with a long-distance relocation company, you can go from one part of the country to another. Additionally, locals don’t usually provide clients with a variety of options and solutions cross-country companies do. Contact your chosen company to assist you with relocation.

The Number of Bedrooms Affects the Moving Estimate

Usually, companies that are in the relocation business will give you an approximate calculation based on the number of bedrooms in your home – which are used as a measure to the size of your place. The number of bedrooms can be a great indicator of the number of items you need to move.

Studio apartments are considered the smallest properties, while one-bedroom and two-bedroom places are next. Some larger homes can have up to six bedrooms. This means the more bedrooms you have in your place, the more time, materials, and effort will be spent to pack everything up and load trucks.

Many companies use the number of bedrooms to figure out the number of items you have in them, but if you feel like your home has more or fewer things than the average home does, you can ask for an in-home assessment.

Trico is a company that puts the needs of its clients first. That’s why we found a solution that helps us form the price depending on the list of items you provide us with. Call our agents or fill out the online questionnaire and list all the items you have in your home. Go room-by-room and list everything from couches to tables. Of course, if you have some bulky or fragile items that require additional care, make sure you point that out to our sales agents. Belongings like a grandfather clock, pictures, and mirrors require wooden crating, and that can also affect the final cost. You can modify your list prior to the pick-up. If you follow all the steps, your estimate won’t change on the moving day.

The Final Cost Will Depend on the Number of Services You Get

The more assistance you require, the more you will have to pay for the overall process. Plan your relocation in advance, go over the options, and make sure you picked those solutions that you really need. Don’t forget that, within our solutions, you can tweak the details. Picking between open and enclosed trailers can affect your final cost. The same goes for door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal delivery.

There Are Ways to Calculate Costs of Relocation

Every relocation is unique and has something that sets it aside from others, and that affects the final cost you have to pay. This is why many companies provide you with the opportunity to request a free quote.

One of the ways you can request a ballpark price of your relocation is by going to the Trico website and filling out the form. There, you will provide us with some basic information about your household and your location. When you are done, submit the request, and Trico customer support representatives will contact you with the estimate.

Our form is designed to calculate an approximate amount of cash you will need to relocate based on the information you provided us with. You should provide us with the following information:

  • Your name
  • Basic contact information
  • Address of your current household (you should include the zip code of the area)
  • Availability for parking a truck
  • List of your belongings
  • Date of relocation
  • Additional information that you think we should have about your household (flights of stairs, special rules of the building, etc.)

With the ZIP codes, we will measure the distance between your current and your future location, and that will give our movers necessary information to calculate how much money you will need to relocate. Trico has a cost calculator because we want to make your relocation easy and simple. With it, you will know how much of your savings you’ll use to pay for the relocation process.

If filling out a form is not something you want to do, call our representatives, and they will guide you step-by-step through the home inventory. They will take all the necessary information from you and provide you with a price.
