Long distance moving company in Connecticut
We know that you don’t want to take any risks and are looking for one of the best Connecticut moving companies for a long distance move.
Hiring a mover to support your long distance move to or from Connecticut is an important decision. However, it’s a big challenge to find the right mover for the job while staying within budget.
One great way to start is by reviewing information on the website set up by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA. That’s the agency that oversees interstate movers, including CT moving companies, and helps consumers avoid moving industry fraud.
They recommend the following precautions:
- Limit your search to Connecticut moving companies that register with FMCSA. This registration is required for any moving company working across state lines, and you can verify compliance on the FMCSA site. You can also review movers’ safety records and any customer complaints.
- Get written estimates of the entire moving process based on visual inspections of the entire home. Instead of a verbal offer, ask the movers to visit your home and see what you need to move before they provide a free quote, and then ask them to put it in writing.
Making it easier for you, Three Movers is among the best moving companies, serving moving families across the country. We offer stress free long distance moving and storage services at economical prices.
Since we are registered movers, we cover the entire state, no matter where you’re planning to relocate.
Local Connecticut Movers
Choosing a local moving company for your local move in Connecticut requires some work on your part to verify that the company is qualified. While FMCSA regulates interstate movers, CT moving companies that operate exclusively within Connecticut don’t receive the same oversight level. It’s up to you to ask for their business license and proof of insurance.
You may want to request a copy of their corporate liability coverage, plus evidence of workers’ compensation protection. Also, consider asking for references. A good quality mover will gladly share contact information of some recent customers that you can ask about their experience.
Looking For The Best Moving And Storage Services In Connecticut?
When you contact Three Movers, our representative will set up a meeting, and with your permission, a visit to your house. After inspecting all the items, our team member will give you a moving quote.
Moreover, our moving manager will keep you in touch through phone calls, helping you with all sorts of issues whether it’s about packing supplies, packing services, temporary storage, or anything else. In short, we make sure that you’re all set to move before the moving day.
Even if it’s about moving the same day on short notice, we’ve got you covered. Our professional team members know how to turn this challenge into a great job.
How Much Do Local Movers Charge In Connecticut?
The best way to determine the moving costs for your upcoming move is to obtain estimates from at least three reputable moving companies and compare them. Each move is different, but all are priced according to the shipment size and the move distance.
Local projects typically cost much less than long distance jobs. Adding services like packing and storage will increase the cost of any move.
Types Of Moves Offered In Connecticut
Residential Movers In Connecticut
Moving from one home to another home is referred to as a residential move. Residential moves include local moving, cross-country moving, and overseas moving. Residential moves can be complicated. Therefore, you will need the services of a professional moving company that has enough experience facilitating your move.
We have a team of well-trained crew ready to help you plan and facilitate your move. You should, therefore, hire us because
- There will be less work for you to do.
- Our crew is made up of professionals.
- We are insured, and we have valuation (insurance) options for you.
- Our crew is experienced at executing fast moves.
- Our crew is always equipped with a complete set of moving tools and supplies.
Office/ Commercial Movers In Connecticut
We offer office/ commercial moves to businesses, whether to move to new offices, warehouses, or storage facilities. Office/ commercial moving is a complicated process that requires planning, proper asset management, guaranteed security of office possessions, and floor plan arrangement.
Office moves should be handled in the shortest time possible to avoid losses. Therefore, the most suitable time for corporate moving services is during the weekend when moving companies can have enough time to pack, load, transport, unload, and unpack all office equipment.
We offer both long-distance and local office/ commercial moves to our clients. To ensure that the moving process is smooth, we have corporate relocation managers who help our clients plan and manage the entire process.
Military Movers In Connecticut
This service is specific and specialized for members of the military and their families. Members of the military can receive their permanent change station (PCS) orders at any time. Therefore, they need access to moving services to help them and their families move as soon as possible.
The military has preapproved several moving companies that offer servicemen and women moving services paid for by the military. However, military members can hire 3rd party moving companies like Three Movers to facilitate their moves to their new stations. And most servicemen and women prefer using our services because we have specialized moving services like pet shipping that moving companies approved by the military don’t offer.
International Movers In Connecticut
International or overseas moves are the most complicated moves to handle. That’s why if you’re planning to move to another country, you should ensure that the moving company you hire has the experience and approval to handle international moves.
To confirm whether a moving company is registered and licensed to facilitate international moves, you can check with the Federal Maritime Commission, Better Business Bureau, FIDI, Global Alliance, or International Association of Movers.
To ensure that we can properly facilitate your move to another country, we’ve developed a network of connections with ocean transporters, truck companies, moving companies, and storage companies.
Flat-Rate And Hourly Movers In Connecticut
It’s natural for you to wonder about the pricing options that moving companies offer. Most moving companies offer a combination of hourly and flat-rate pricing options. Each pricing option can save you a lot of money. However, you have to consider the following factors that influence flat-rate and hourly rate pricing options.
- Amount of belongings you own.
- The size of your property (house)
- The distance you expect to travel.
- Unloading time
- Extra services you will need
Hourly rate movers are convenient when you have few belongings, your new place is a short distance away, and you will not require any extra services. And flat rate moves are more convenient if you’re planning a long-distance move, have a lot of possessions, and if you require any extra services.
Additional Moving/ Shipping Services In Connecticut
Packing And Crating
Packing and carting is an essential service that we offer our clients. Packing ensures the safety of your possessions by reducing the chances of damage. Crating is a special packing technique that ensures the safety f your most valued and delicate items. Items that we encourage our clients to consider crating include designer furniture, fine art, and antiques.
We also offer another packing option called ‘white gloves service.’ The ‘white glove service’ offers the highest level of safety and protection to your possessions. This service requires our professional moving crews to take every precaution necessary to ensure that our clients’ possessions aren’t damaged in any way.
Full-Service Moves
Full-service moves mean handling all the heavy lifting so that our clients can get the opportunity to relax and rest during their move. This service is perfect for people who don’t want to or can’t participate in the physical tasks involved in a move.
Whether you are moving to a new residence in your current neighborhood, another state, or another country, it doesn’t matter. Three Movers can handle any full-service move requests in Connecticut.

Three Movers maintains several storage facilities in Connecticut that our clients can use to store their possessions in the short or long term. Unlike other moving companies that hire 3rd party storage companies, our clients prefer handling their moves under the guidance of one company.
However, if there is a storage company that you’d like to work with, we can make arrangements on your behalf.
Insurance
Even the most experienced moving companies find it impossible to avoid accidents from happening.
Therefore, moving companies compensate their clients for any damages they’re responsible for rather than disappointing clients.
Unfortunately, moving companies aren’t authorized by their regulators to offer insurance coverage policies o their clients. However, it’s our responsibility to offer our clients; possessions protection from damages. And that’s why we offer our clients three ‘valuation’ options.
- Full Value Protection
- Released Value Protection
- 3rd Party Insurance
Valuation options are similar to insurance coverage since they protect your possessions during transit.
If you prefer to go for 3rd party insurance coverage, remember that coverage depends on the insurance policy. Therefore, make sure to read and compare the insurance policy with other policies from other companies.
Same-Day Moves
Sometimes due to unforeseeable circumstances, people are usually forced to move out of their premises to a new residence within the same day. In such emergencies, a client must hire a moving company that can handle same-day moves and junk removal efficiently.
Same-day moves offer little room for planning. Therefore, planning and proper arrangement of possessions are usually out of the question. However, you will still need your property transported to your new residence without sustaining any damage.
And that’s why you must hire professional same-day moving companies like Three Movers. A company with enough experience to handle same-day moves safely and efficiently.

Auto-transport is an important service, especially for people in need of long-distance and international moving services. If you plan to travel to your new place using a plane or driving one of your cars, then you will need a service that can transport your vehicle to your new residence.
There are two types of auto-transport services we offer. The open transport and the enclosed car shipping services. In most cases, your auto transport costs will be influenced by the distance traveled and the type of auto transport service you prefer.
We have collaborated with the best companies in the auto transport industry to bring you affordable, top-notch, and convenient services.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If My Move Is Considered Local Or Long-Distance?
It depends on the mover’s definition of long-distance. For most professional movers, any move that is more than 100 miles is already considered long-distance. Moves that are out of state are also regarded as long-distance, even if the mileage is below 100 miles.
I’m Planning To Move Next Month. Should I Start Looking For A Moving Company Now?
Yes. For local moves, we recommend planning it 2-4 weeks in advance, especially if you want to move on a weekend. For long-distance moves, we recommend you plan your move 4-6 weeks in advance. This ensures that you can book the moving date and time that is most convenient for you.
Can I Get A Definite Moving Estimate On My Consultation Call?
We get a general idea of how many items you have and how far away the destination is during the consultation call. However, any estimate given during the consultation call is just a general estimate. While some companies are experienced enough to provide an accurate first estimate, nothing is set in stone until the physical walkthrough is made.
Are Moving Companies Obligated To Do A Physical Walkthrough To Get The Estimate?
Yes, if you want an accurate estimate for your move, a physical walkthrough is critical. Moving companies should not give a written estimate without a physical inspection. As a customer, you should protect yourself and ask for a written estimate as verbal estimates are not legally binding.
How Do You Estimate The Total Cost Of My Move?
First, we compute the distance from point A to point B. Then we take an inventory of all belongings that need to be loaded and moved to the new location. We then calculate how many hours the entire move will take and if special tools and equipment need to be used during the move. These are the factors that affect the cost of your move.
Is There A Chance I Have To Pay More Than What Is Written On My Estimate?
Although written estimates are pretty accurate, moving homes or offices is never without unforeseen circumstances. Even with careful planning, delays sometimes happen, so there’s a chance you may have to pay more at the end of the move. However, it is illegal for any moving company to charge more than 110% of what is written on the bill of lading.
How Much Do Local Moves Cost In Connecticut?
Local moves that are less than 50 miles away usually cost $200 to $600 for studio and 1-bedroom apartments. If you own a 3-bedroom apartment, the total cost may go up to $700 to $1,500.
How Long Will It Take You To Pack And Load My Stuff?
It depends on the number of items you have and if you have items that require special care. Typically, for a crew of 3 movers, it only takes up to a couple of hours to clear a house if no problems are encountered in the process.
Can I Choose To Keep My Stuff In Storage If I Don’t Have A New Home Yet?
Of course, we have secure storage all over Connecticut as well as other states. You can choose to store your items there temporarily while you figure out your new living conditions.
Is Insurance A Part Of Your Moving Package?
Fully registered moving companies are required by law to offer insurance to all their customers. We provide free insurance for all moves, although this won’t cover 100% of your items. If you want, you can avail of our complete protection insurance as an add-on for your moving services.
How Do I Prepare For The Big Day?
The amount of preparation needed on your part depends on what services you paid for. If you requested our complete moving package, this includes everything from packing, loading to unpack and unloading. This means you don’t need to prepare for anything, and you can simply wait for the moving crew to arrive and let them take care of everything. If you don’t feel comfortable not preparing for anything, you can always unplug your appliances or disassemble your computer to ready them for packing.
Do I Need To Accompany The Movers In The Truck?
Not necessarily. The important part is that you are present to receive the moving team and give them instructions. If you don’t have a car and need to get to your new home, you can always ride with the truck provided there’s extra space.
Is There Someone Leading The Moving Team That I Can Speak To Regularly?
The agent assigned to you during your consultation call will become your moving manager. Your manager will be there to supervise the move from the planning to the delivery stage. They will perform the inspection, give you the necessary documents, and will be there to manage the move and receive your payment. If you have any questions or details that you want to be changed, you can talk to your moving manager about it.
What Happens If There Are Delays In The Move?
Delays are normal and there are factors outside of our control that can cause problems during the move, such as the weather. We take responsibility for any delays caused by our team or our vehicles. However, if the move was delayed because you forgot to pack your belongings or did not pay for a parking permit, you have to pay for the extra time if you are on an hourly rate.
I Paid For Basic Moving Services, But Now I’ve Discovered That I Don’t Have Enough Time To Pack. Can I Just Add Packing To My List Of Services On The Moving Date Itself?
Any changes on your bill of lading or contract should be made beforehand. This gives us time to prepare for any changes and update your bill before the actual moving date. We can always add packing to your list of services, but if you don’t inform the moving crew beforehand, they may not have enough packing materials on the truck and may need to go back to the office to get some more, which will result in delays.
