Hawaii Movers - Hawaii Moving services

Congratulations on deciding to move! In Hawaii, many people move every year and many moving companies are available to serve your needs.

Making moving decisions in Hawaii

One of the first things you’ll need to decide about moving in Hawaii is how you’d like to do it. There are three basic options available: you can do-it-yourself and rent a moving truck, you can hire a Hawaii moving company that offers self moving services or you can hire a professional Hawaii mover to handle your move from start to finish. What kind of a moving service you prefer depends on your budget and your needs.

If saving money is most important, then consider renting a truck or Hawaii movers that offer self-moving services and pods. If you don’t want the hassle of moving, then hiring a full-serving Hawaii moving company may be a better option. Professional Hawaii movers offer a variety of services, such as packing your goods.

Selecting a reliable Hawaii mover

If you’ve decided to hire a Hawaii moving company, reliability and dependability are probably your top concerns. No one can guarantee that the Hawaii mover you hire will be 100% reliable, but there are steps you can take to get the best Hawaii moving company possible.

First, check to make sure that the Hawaii moving service you selected is licensed. Many states have their own licensing and certification programs for moving companies. If your state is one of these, make sure that the moving company you’re choosing is licensed locally. You can also check if your Hawaii movers are licensed by the US Department of Transportation by visiting the SAFER database online.

Don’t forget to also ask friends and family members if they know anyone who has used a Hawaii moving service and had a good or bad experience. You can also check out your local Better Business Bureau to see if your Hawaii mover has numerous unresolved complaints filed against them.

Local or long distance movers

For most states, moving more than 50 miles is considered intra-state long distance. How many miles and exact regulations are considered intra-state long distance varies by state. If you’re moving fairly close, you’ll need to hire local Hawaii movers. Local movers in Hawaii know the locations and maps of the state very well. Local Hawaii moving companies can also assist you in getting packing materials or selecting a storage facility.

If you’re moving from state to state, you’ll need to hire long distance Hawaii movers. Most full service Hawaii movers offer long distance moving services. Make sure you let the Hawaii movers you selected know that you’re interested in interstate moving services. All long distance movers in Hawaii must have a license from the US Department of Transportation.

Local Hawaii movers and long distance movers differ in the way they charge for moving services. Most of the time, local Hawaii movers charge by the hour, plus the costs of packing supplies and other fees. Hawaii long distance movers, on the other hand, charge based on miles and the weight of your goods. Interstate moves from Hawaii are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). You can find more information on tariffs and long distance moving regulations on their web site – ProtectYourMove.gov.

Happy moving in Hawaii!
