That's it, you've made up your mind: you're going to hire a professional to help you with your move. The first thing to do is to contact a moving company and ask for a quote. But do you know what information should be included in a moving quote? And what elements should you focus on to fully understand each proposal? Les Gentlemen Du Déménagement helps you see clearly so you can choose your moving company with full knowledge of the facts.

The essential elements for your moving quote

While the costs associated with your move can be estimated remotely using an online form, Les Gentlemen Du Déménagement must conduct an on-site visit in order to provide a quote. For us, this is a guarantee of quality.

Basic information

To draw up an estimate, a removal professional generally relies on :

The need for a prior visit to the place of care

To take into account the constraints associated with your move, it is essential for us to make an appointment with you to visit the departure site. This preliminary visit is essential for the mover to make an accurate and reliable estimate of the goods to be moved and the constraints involved.

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.

What services are included in a move?

To qualify as a removal, the service offered by a mover must include 3 services:

In this respect, it differs from simple transport and industrial leasing operations, where the furniture is moved within the same building.

The services are agreed in advance with the customer and precisely defined in the quote and its appendices. As stated in our general terms and conditions of sale, you should be aware that Gentlemen Du Déménagement cannot under any circumstances take responsibility for:

Any exceptions must be agreed in writing between the company and the customer prior to the start of the service.

Information to be included in a removal estimate

As with any commercial proposal, the presentation of the quote is essential and must include certain mandatory information.

Mandatory legal information

As a general rule, all specifications must include :

Presentation of the removal service

The aim is to set out as clearly as possible the conditions under which the teams will operate, as well as their responsibilities and their interactions with customers.

Generally speaking, removal companies offer 3 levels of service corresponding to a distinct level of responsibility:

At Gentlemen Du Déménagement, we offer five moving packages to help you get started in your new home.
Depending on how much time you have, your budget, and how much convenience you want, you can choose from:

The declaration of value, an essential complement to the quotation

A declaration of value is usually attached to the quote. This form must be completed by the customer and sent along with the signed quote for validation of the moving contract. The declaration of value allows you to list the items to be moved and indicate their value for the purpose of possible compensation in the event of damage. Like the quote, it is therefore particularly important in terms of the liability relationship you will enter into with your mover.

Once you've received each commercial proposal, you'll normally have all the information you need to compare the offers and make the right choice. To be able to compare what's comparable, find out about each mover's packages before requesting your quote. This will make comparison easier.
