Moving Steps
Step by Step Moving Guide
Local Movers
We are a leading Moving Company in San Jose, San Francisco and the greater Bay Area
A local move in California is a move that takes place within a 100-mile radius and
stays within the state of origin. Many factors determine the cost of a local move. Luckily, many of those factors are within
your control. For example, how ready are you when the movers arrive? Are all your
belongings packed in boxes? Can the truck park close to your home? Any hard to move
items? How much packing, unpacking and furniture placement would you like the movers
to do for you?

Long Distance Move from and To the Bay Area
A long distance move is
a move that is greater than 100-miles from the origin and/or the move crosses a
state line. Two factors determine the major portion of the cost of your move. They
are the distance you are moving and the weight of your shipment.
Partner Van Lines is able to provide competitive cheap moving rates because we do something called
consolidated shipping. Instead of sending a moving van across the country with only
your shipment on board, we consolidate your shipment with other customers' shipments.
This method of shipping allows you to receive a greatly reduced rate on long distance move or International moving services in the bay area.

Your First Moving Step - Get a Free Moving Estimate
An accurate moving estimate
is the key to budgeting for your move. If you are getting multiple estimates, you
should make sure that you compare them on an "apples to apples" basis not just the
bottom line. Partner consultants will always provide you with a detailed estimate
indicating the cost for all of the services requested including third party arrangements,
storage or increased liability coverage. Here are a few other points to remember:
- The cost of your long distance
move is dependent on the weight of your shipment and the distance from origin to
destination. The moving consultant uses a published rate schedule as the basis for
calculating the cost of your move
- The cost for local moves (under 100 miles) is generally calculated on an hourly
rate (including travel time)
- Be sure to show the moving consultant every room and storage area so they can
accurately determine the weight or CF of your shipment. If it is not possible for
them to physically see items stored at another location, be sure to provide a detailed
inventory of these additional goods
- The best way to reduce your moving costs is to discard items you no longer need.
