Moving Tips

Moving FAQs

Are moving expenses tax deductible?

As of 2017 with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, moving expenses are not tax deductible for most people. Active-duty military personnel who meet the necessary requirements may still be able to claim a deduction.

How much should you tip movers?

A good rule is to tip movers 5% to 10% of your total moving cost, divided evenly among the moving team. For a full day, this could be anywhere between $50 to $100.

When do you pay moving companies?

You typically pay the moving company upon delivery of your items, after everything has been moved into your new home. The only payment you would need to complete before delivery is a deposit, if the moving company requires it.

Do I need moving insurance?

It's recommended that you purchase moving insurance before moving your belongings with a professional moving company, in case anything gets damaged or broken in transit.

How much does moving insurance cost?

Full-coverage moving insurance usually costs around 1% of the total value of all your belongings.

Do moving companies provide boxes?

Professional moving companies will generally provide moving boxes for you. However, some companies may charge you a fee to use their moving boxes.

Will moving companies pack for you?

Full-service movers will pack everything up for you, with the exception of a few items—food, valuables, personal documents, and potentially dangerous items. Moving companies that do not offer a full-service option will require you to do all the packing before they load and move your belongings.
