Summer is typically the busiest season for moving, thanks to favorable weather and school breaks. While it’s an ideal time for a move, you’ll need to plan ahead and book well in advance, as movers are often fully booked during this period. For more flexibility with your schedule and generally lower rates, consider moving during the off-season—late fall or winter.

It’s best to request a free moving estimate as soon as you’ve made the decision to move. Ideally, give your moving company at least 4–6 weeks' notice before your moving day. The sooner you reach out, the more likely it is that we can secure your preferred pickup and delivery dates.

A moving estimate gives you an approximate cost of your move, based on the services you need and a survey of your home and items.

• A binding estimate is a fixed-price contract, meaning the cost is set in advance based on the services you request. If additional services are needed during the move, the price may increase.

• A non-binding estimate is based on the actual volume of your shipment and any services provided. This estimate can change depending on the final weight or size of your shipment, and a video walkthrough of your home is typically required to calculate the volume.

When you book your move, you’ll usually need to make a deposit, typically 30% to 35% of the total estimate, to confirm your reservation. The remainder of the payment is due when your belongings are delivered to the destination, just before the unloading process begins.

To verify your movers’ credentials, ask for their DOT (Department of Transportation) and MC (Motor Carrier) license numbers, which should be visible on their website, advertisements, and moving trucks. If not, feel free to request them directly. You can confirm these details by checking with the U.S. Department of Transportation and your local authorities.

At MileWay Moving and Storage, we’re fully licensed and insured, including compliance with USDOT, MC, and Colorado PUC regulations.

Yes, you are protected, but the level of protection depends on the valuation coverage you choose. Keep in mind that valuation is not the same as insurance—it’s the moving company’s liability. For full insurance coverage, you may need to check with your homeowner’s insurance provider to see if it covers your move.

By law, licensed moving companies must offer Released Value Protection, which is included in the base cost of the move and provides minimal coverage. This means the company is liable for no more than 60 cents per pound per item.

For more extensive protection, consider Full Value Protection at an additional cost. This guarantees that the moving company will either repair, replace, or compensate you for the replacement value of any lost or damaged items during the move.
