Superlative: Awesome Specialty Moving

Adams Van Lines is one of our favorites, especially if you have a lot of expensive, fragile, or just plain bulky and hard-to-move items in your inventory. They’re experienced pros when it comes to premium moving. Whether you have pool tables, pianos, server racks, or anime figurines (we won’t judge), their moving teams know how to keep everything safe and secure. They also have flexible pricing depending on the season!

1. Loading and Hauling: Adams takes premium moving seriously. That’s why their teams go the extra mile during loading and hauling. Their moving teams have plenty of experience when it comes to those high-value items, and they’re ready to provide the extra TLC that your moving day deserves.
2. Storage: Sometimes you need a bit of extra time, and sometimes you need a bit of extra flexibility. That’s where Adams Van Lines comes in clutch. They have plenty of secure storage options (from lockers to garage-sized units), and for a monthly fee, you’re getting tons of flexibility.
3. Packing: Take our word for it - packing is going to be the hardest part of your move. Between all the bubble wrap, boxes, tape, and (of course) constantly running out of supplies, it’s a pretty rough way to waste a few weekends. Fortunately, you can have the pros at Adams Van Lines take care of it instead.
4. Full Service Options: Adams Van Lines offers full service moving. This means they can handle every step of the moving process, and all you have to do is sit back and relax. Not only will they pack, load, and haul, but they can also make sure all of your belongings end up in the right place during the unloading and unpacking process. You’ll walk in the front door, and everything will already be situated.

A long distance move with Adams Van Lines will cost you between $4,999 - $7,999. These prices reflect a 2-3 bedroom home, and an average distance of 1,250 miles. Keep in mind you may end up paying a little more if you have a bigger home and more miles to travel - but you may also pay less if you have a smaller home and you’re going a shorter distance.

For the most part, Adams Van Lines is available throughout all 50 states. We say “for the most part,” because some routes won’t get the full menu of services that Adams brings to the table.

Adams operates out of the Southeast. They’re based in Florida, and they can offer the broadest menu of services if you’re moving to or from the Sunshine State. Don’t let this turn you off from them if you’re somewhere else, though! Some of their routes are more popular than others, and if you’re in a major metropolitan area, chances are they can take care of your move with their trademark TLC.

Adams Van Lines offers excellent customer support, right from square one. Their reps aren’t focused on making money - they’re genuinely concerned with your concerns. When you call in for the first time, the team at Adams will answer all of your questions, and they’ll even ask several of their own. It’s all part of building a plan that’s tailored to your needs, and it’s an important step if a mover wants to proactively offer some helpful extras.

Like most other long distance moving companies, Adams Van Lines offers a basic insurance plan. It’s nice to have in case of emergencies, but it’s only good for $0.60 per pound of damaged or missing items.

Fortunately, Adams Van Lines also offers full-value insurance coverage. It’s a much more substantial plan, and it means if anything is broken in transit, you’ll get the full monetary value in return. The only downsides? You’ll have to pay extra for it, and it’s not offered unless you pay for Adams to pack your stuff, too.

If you want greater peace of mind, you’ll have to treat yourself to full service packing. But hey, it’ll make life a lot easier!

Adams Van Lines is all about specialty moving, so they really know their way around those awkward and hard-to-move items. Pianos, pool tables, antiques, art… the list goes on, and their movers will come prepared.

Specialty moving requires a specialized skillset. Depending on the job, Adams can send a team to build a custom crate around your vintage motorcycle, rig a pulley to get your piano out the window, or wrap, double-wrap, and triple-wrap all of your anime figurines without laughing at you.

Some moving companies are really green-forward, almost to the point of greenwashing. Adams isn’t one of those companies, but they do their own part to keep things sustainable. One of these important practices is bundling moves.

When you’re moving long distance, your stuff goes in a big semi trailer. But if your studio apartment doesn’t fill the whole truck, that means there’s a lot of empty space. This is bad for fuel efficiency, since it costs a lot of gas (and a lot of money) to move a whole lot of nothing.

Instead, Adams will use that empty space for smaller moves that are along your route. Don’t worry - they’ll keep everything separate and secure. It’s their way of moving greener and keeping costs down - for you, and for them.

Adams has a pretty solid website. Not only do they have a relatively straightforward trip-planning utility, but they also offer a few helpful guides for city to city moving. They may not have pulled out all the stops to write articles and blogposts (looking at you, Moving APT), but there’s a lot worth reading on the Adams blog.

Adams Van Lines has a 3.9 out of 5 on Google reviews. As far as long distance movers are concerned, a 3.9 out of 5 is pretty damn solid. (You’ll find that when you shop around for movers, Google reviews can get really ugly, really quick.) Aside from Google, Adams has a 4.5 out of 5 on their own website, and that’s based on over 10,000 customer surveys.

Adams Van Lines’ customers have a lot of good things to say about their moving experiences. Check their website, and you’ll even see authentic video reviews to prove it. If you’re looking for a specialty mover that costs a fraction of the big name players, you can’t go wrong with Adams.
