Long-distance Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky movers

Executing a long distance move to or from Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky, is a big project. One of the essential tasks is choosing a moving company. Experts agree that you should compare estimates from several reputable professional movers before you decide. In addition, the movers you consider should conduct a visual survey of the shipment before they submit their quote.

One way to decide if a mover is reputable is to verify that they are registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). FMCSA oversees interstate commerce and sets rules for the conduct of movers. For example, the estimates must include the forecast weight of the shipment and a detailed inventory of what’s being moved. Also, movers must offer two choices for protecting the contents of the load (moving insurance is called valuation or liability) during the move.

Keep in mind that movers can offer a binding or nonbinding estimate. A binding bid won’t increase even if the weight is higher than the mover estimated. In contrast, you might pay a higher price if you have a nonbinding quote, and the mover miscalculated the weight. You can read about the details and limits on the FMCSA site.

Local moving companies in Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky

FMCSA does not regulate local movers in Kentucky if they don’t work on jobs that cross state lines. Instead, they will have a license from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, often called KYTC, which sets licensing and insurance requirements for intrastate movers. These companies must share information about their rates and policies with the KYTC. If you request a written estimate, they should provide one. If they won’t, you may want to consider another mover.

How much will it cost to move to or from Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky?

Comparing estimates from several reputable movers will help you identify the proper price range for your upcoming move. You can ask questions to figure out any discrepancies. Remember that the lowest price isn’t always the best—choose a mover that you think will do a great job safeguarding your belongings. You can probably move locally in Lexington-Fayette for under $1,000 in many cases—it depends on how much stuff you have to move. However, there is a broader range of prices for long-distance moves, with an average cost of around $5,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Accurate Are Your Moving Estimates and Are They Considered Final?

Estimates you get from us through the phone or from our websites are incredibly accurate but they shouldn’t be considered final. A final bill can only be provided in writing after an on-site inspection.  

What’s the Best Time to Move in Lexington, Kentucky, and How Far Ahead Should I Plan My Move?

The peak moving period in Lexington is the summer which is between July and September. During this period, demand for moving companies is high and if you want to move in the summer you will need to book them months ahead. However, for other times of the year, you can give a notice to the companies 2-4 weeks ahead for a move within the city. If the move is long-distance, the notice should be 4-6 weeks ahead. 

How Do I Know if My Move Is Local or Long-Distance?

A long-distance move is a move that is over 100 miles. It is usually outside the city and state. A local move is closer than 100 miles and is usually within the city.  

Is There Anything That a Moving Crew Won’t Accept?

A moving crew won’t accept chemicals, food, plants, pets, firearms, and any hazardous substance. Perishables are also not accepted especially when the cargo is heading to a storage facility. 

Who Regulates Moving Companies in Lexington, and Where Can I Verify a Mover’s License?

Moving companies in Lexington are regulated by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. They issue licenses to the companies that operate in the city and the licenses can be verified here. If the company engages in long-distance moves, the company should be registered with the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). Such companies have a unique tracking number called a USDOT number. 

I Had an Emergency, and Now I Need a Last-Minute Move. Is That Possible?

For an emergency move to be possible, the company must have available staff and vehicles. This is particularly difficult in the summer where companies are booked for weeks on end.
 
Secondly, the company must not be conducting maintenance on their vehicles. Finally, there shouldn’t be weather constraints like storms. If these obstacles are absent, a company can offer last-minute moving services.   

I Don’t Have Enough Boxes to Package My Belongings. Where Can I Find Moving Boxes in Lexington, Kentucky?

In the event that you don’t have boxes or packing supplies, you can check craigslist as a first option. You might even get free boxes there. You can also check Cumberland Container for moving boxes.

What Documents Do I Need to Have on Me on the Day of the Move?

Moving is an exhausting and complex experience for most and that is why it is important that you know the documents you need on that day of moving. You will need insurance certificates for your items, the inventory list of what is to be moved, the final bill, agreements, and estimates. You might also need an ID card to prove your identity to the moving crew.    

I Want to Add/Remove Some Services Before Moving Day. Is That Possible?

Yes, it is possible to add or remove services before moving day but fulfilling such changes the same day is harder.

Do I Have to Be Present During the Move or At the Destination?

Yes, you need to be present on the day of moving at the start of the move. There is documentation to be done at the start. At the destination, you don’t need to be present. You can send someone and give them all the information they will require to receive the items in your place.

Customer Reviews

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the great help with our move. We have so much stuff and I was really worried about being able to take the time off work to pack and get everything moved and unpacked. Three Movers saved the day! Your men showed up and had our house and garage packed fast and even put everything in the precise room at the new house. You saved me a great deal of time and saved my family a lot of money! Thanks so much!
