You've made up your mind: you're going to call in a professional to carry out your move. The first thing to do is to contact a mover and ask for a quote. But do you know what information should be included in a moving estimate? And what elements should you pay particular attention to in order to fully understand each proposal?

It's only on site that the professional can assess the difficulties of access, the volume of belongings to be moved, the need for a furniture lift... For you, it's also an opportunity to get to know the company and the person to whom you'll be entrusting your move.
In any case, the preliminary visit is free of charge, as is the preparation of the estimate, which must be sent before any commitment is made.
