Have you already planned and rented a moving truck?

No?

Well, that's good - because it's way too common for people to accidentally rent a truck that's too small, way too big, or even not properly insured.

Don't worry though - this free guide from Movers.com explains all the classic mistakes, and how to avoid them, just click here to read the full guide, right now.

It explains all the steps you need to plan your next move, starting with hiring a moving company or scheduling a truck rental for the appropriate day. It also breaks down the factors you need to know in advance, like how big of a truck to rent, and how much it should cost.

There's no complicated math required either, just a simple chart that uses the size of your current home, to estimate the size of truck you should require. However, just to be safe, it's a good idea to consider renting a truck 10-15% larger than required by the chart, just so you can be 100% sure that all of your stuff is going to fit in one trip.

Another option, if you're not a fan of the chart or think that your home may require a special assessment, is to just call a local truck rental company and describe your situation. The Movers.com guide explains that most rental companies will be happy to provide an estimate for their specific trucks, based on a description of what you need to move.

Before you make a final decision though - let me tell you about a neat trick that can help you to save a ton of money, and it only takes a minute of your time.

It's another free tool provided by Movers.com, and it's one that I would never plan a move without, personally. At least not if I wanted to hire any professional services, trucks, or equipment - because I want to save every dollar I can.

Here's how it works - all you have to do is go to the Movers.com website, which you can do by clicking right here, and then look for a big green button that says "Get Quotes."

That will take you to a simple form, that asks for details about your upcoming move. Just simple stuff, like how much you have to move, how far it has to go, and whether there are stairs or elevators involved.

Once you've filled it all in, Movers.com will send it to a bunch of pre-screened local movers, and they'll send you back up to 7 cost estimates, absolutely free, and with no obligation.

You can get quotes for hiring a truck, hiring a moving company to drive the truck, or even hiring a full-service company that will pack your stuff, load it, drive it, unload it, and then unpack it in your new home.

Just make sure you plan well in advance because scheduling early can also help you to get a better deal.

As a Movers.com specialist explained, “Truck rental reservations should be made at least two weeks in advance. However, if you are moving during peak season (June through September) you should reserve the vehicle at least one month in advance. Moving services are in high demand during the summer months and may book up quickly.”

The earlier you plan, the better deal you might get - just don't forget to check out the full, free guide from Movers.com, and the free quote tool.
