1. Make Sure They’re Licensed and Insured
A reputable moving company should be registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) or the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for intrastate moves. Insurance coverage is essential in case something goes wrong during your move.
2. Read Reviews on Verified Platforms
Don’t just rely on the testimonials posted on a company’s website. Check independent platforms like Google Reviews, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see what real customers are saying. Look for consistent praise about punctuality, care, and professionalism.
3. Ask for a Transparent Quote
A trustworthy mover will offer a clear breakdown of costs — whether hourly, flat rate, or hybrid. Beware of vague pricing or quotes that don’t include truck, fuel, or packing material fees.
4. Watch Out for Red Flags
- Extremely low prices that seem too good to be true
- No physical address or no company branding
- No written contract or estimate
- Asking for full payment upfront or cash-only deals
- Unprofessional communication or pushy behavior
