You are moving soon and would like to estimate the cost of your move in advance ? It's the right thing to do: you'll be able to anticipate expenses and start putting money aside, or even looking for financing. The method differs depending on whether you're moving alone or with a professional. To choose between the two solutions, however, you need to make sure you don't forget anything in the process. So how do you go about estimating the price of your move? What criteria need to be taken into account in order to define a precise and comprehensive budget for the move? Here's our advice on how to estimate the cost of your future move as accurately as possible.
Using a moving company is by far the easiest way to get an accurate estimate of the costs involved in your move. All you need to do is request a quote from the service providers of your choice. We're talking here specifically about the cost of loading, transporting and delivering furniture and boxes.
For a rough estimate of the costs charged by Gentlemen du Déménagement, you can use our free online price simulator. It's a calculator that allows you to obtain an estimated cost by simply specifying :
You'll then get an approximate cost, which will be refined during a prior visit if you leave us your contact details. In fact, an on-site appointment is essential to get an accurate quote for your move.
Unlike Gentlemen du Déménagement, some movers offer a quote based on an estimate made directly by the customer online. In this case, beware of unpleasant surprises: you may be billed for additional costs after the fact, due to a poor initial estimate.
To get a precise assessment of the costs to which the mover is committed, it's essential to be able to discuss the situation with the professional during a technical visit to the home.
If you're doing the move yourself, calculating the costs involved is more complicated. You need to take into account vehicle rental and parking coststhe materials needed to prepare cartons as well as labor.
It's not always easy to get a precise estimate of the cost of renting a removal truck. There are several players on the market, including car and van rental companies, large-scale retailers and removal firms. Not all offer the same prices, nor the same rental conditions. What's more, you need to calculate the volume to be moved before asking for a quote, which isn't always easy. In addition to the cost of renting a vehicle, you'll need to add the cost of parking the truck (in town) and tolls if you have to take the freeway.
When you take charge of the move, you'll also need to provide all the materials needed to pack, protect and secure your belongings: cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, blankets, protective materials, straps, etc. To cut costs, you can use empty packing cartons to store your belongings. The disadvantage is that they generally come in a variety of sizes and can take up a lot of space in the truck bed. When it comes to bubble-wrap and protectors, don't skimp on quantities to protect your belongings properly and avoid last-minute shortages.
This is often a forgotten, or at least underestimated, cost factor. This is probably because family and friends often provide unpaid help. Nevertheless, if you have to use paid labor, don't forget to factor it into your calculations. In any case, you should at least include lunch for each person involved.
Moving home entails a number of numerous ancillary costs often ignored by people moving house. However, these costs should be taken into account if you want to accurately estimate the overall cost of the move.
When renting, it's sometimes necessary to use the services of a real estate agency to find a property that's right for you. Especially if you're not on site to conduct the search. In this case, the agency fee should be included in the cost of the move.
When you move in, you'll need to pay several months' rent for the first month's occupancy and the security deposit. This deposit will only be recovered when you move out.
Work on a property is normally the responsibility of the owner. However, if you want your home to be just the way you like it, you may have to take care of the embellishment work yourself. If you're buying your future home, you'll need to factor this work into your budget.
When you move into a new home, it's sometimes difficult to fit in old furniture that's too big or not in the right style. What's more, you may want to take advantage of the move to change your furniture. To save money, don't hesitate to sell your furniture before you move.
Moving home often involves costs associated with opening energy meters, transferring mail and so on. These costs also need to be factored into your budget.
As you can see,estimating the cost of a move is more complex than it may first appear. Between the costs of renting or acquiring a home, the costs of the move itself (packing, pick-up, transportation...) and ancillary costs, the list of expenses can be long. To give you a better idea of the costs involved in moving your belongings, we invite you to request a quote for your move from several professionals. This will give you an overall idea of the costs involved. You'll then be free to compare them with truck rental offers, provided you add all the charges involved, such as parking and labor. Our teams are at your disposal to present you our different moving formulas and to make an appointment for a technical visit.
