Why We Picked Pricing Van Lines:

Pricing Van Lines is our top choice for sheer affordability. They’re one of those rare games that delivers quality moving at a great price - and they don’t sacrifice customer service in the process. If you’re looking for a bare-bones move that’s just the essentials (without the big brand price tag), Pricing Van Lines is your best bet. Plus, they make it really easy to get an online quote. It’s everything you need, nothing you don’t and all at a price that won’t break the bank.

Services Offered:

  1. Loading and Hauling: Like the other movers we’ve reviewed, Pricing Van Lines offers loading and hauling. It’s part of their “just the essentials” approach to moving day, and believe us, loading and hauling is a pretty major essential. The big difference is the price you’ll pay for the quality service. It’s a fraction of the cost of the major players.
  2. Storage: For a company that really focuses on the nuts and bolts of moving day, storage is a pretty surprising luxury - but we’re not complaining. Pricing Van Lines offers monthly storage in safe and secure locations, and depending on how much square footage you need, they’ve got a wide range of sizes.
  3. Packing: Packing is a pain, but if you’re going for a budget-friendly move, it may be tempting to DIY the whole process. But instead of making all those trips to Home Depot, Office Depot, and whatever other Depot, you can shell out just a little extra and the pros at Pricing Van Lines will take care of the whole thing.
  4. All of the Above, at Great Prices! We’ve said it before, but Pricing Van Lines is all about affordability. They offer the essentials at a seriously competitive price. It may be no-frills, but sometimes a streamlined move is just what you need if you’re trying to keep a blank slate.

Types of Moves Offered:

  1. Local Moving: Anything under 100 miles (and within the same state) counts as a local move. Since these are usually billed per hour and per mover, your local movers will really have to know their way around town. Pricing will send someone who’ll keep it quick and efficient.
  2. Long Distance Moving: Moves that are over 100 miles or across state lines count as long distance moves. These come with their own challenges - and long distance movers also need to be licensed and certified to operate across state lines. Pricing Van Lines has their paperwork in order, and they have plenty of experience with interstate moves.
  3. Cross Country Moving: Beyond long distance, your coast to coast moves will require even more coordination, planning, and support. Pricing Van Lines has a surprisingly built-up network of specialists who can take care of your cross country move without charging you an arm and a leg.

Pros

  1. Wide network of movers

  2. Commercial and residential moving services

  3. Quick moving quote estimates

  4. Services won’t break the bank

Cons

  1. No international moving services

  2. Increased delivery times during peak moving season

How Much Does it Cost:

A long distance move with Pricing Van Lines will cost you between $4700 and $7600. This price window is based on a 2-3 bedroom home, and an average distance of about 1,250 miles. If you’re moving more than 1,250 miles and you’ve got more bedrooms, expect a slightly higher price tag. But if you’re moving a smaller home and you’re not going as far, you may end up paying way less!

Guides to Moving

Pricing Van Lines has a nationwide reach. They’ve got a whole network of movers and moving specialists, which includes over 300 local agents who can help manage your entire relocation. This is a great help if you’ve got a long haul and you’re trying to save every penny: You know who to contact if you’ve got questions, and you get a cross country move without paying out the nose.

Customer Support and Communication:

For a company that prioritizes affordability, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that Pricing Van Lines actually offers solid customer service, too. This isn’t throwing a few bucks at some guys to toss your stuff in their truck - they’re a professional outfit, and their customer service and sales departments show it.

When you call in, Pricing Van Lines will ask you a lot of questions. Don’t let this throw you off: It’s all part of building a custom move that matches your needs. After all, why charge for a bunch of extra services if you’re not gonna need them? Communication is key, and when you chat with their agents, you can end up saving even more by being as clear as possible about your needs.

Insurance and Claims Process:

In keeping with their affordable approach to moving, Pricing Van Lines offers complimentary insurance coverage. However, this is just the bare minimum, and it’s only good for $0.60 per pound of lost or damaged items.

If you think your 4-pound laptop is worth more than $2.40, you should look into full-value insurance coverage. This is oftentimes offered by a third party. Just to be safe, get in touch with whoever provides your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to see if moving day is already covered.

Packing and Handling of Special Items:

Pricing Van Lines offers a just-the-basics approach to moving. While they won’t throw in a bunch of fancy add-ons, they still offer packing and storage. It’s how they keep prices down, but at least you’re still getting the essentials.

If you have a lot of expensive and hard to move items, check out Adams Van Lines! But if you’re not interested in a lot of bells and whistles and you just need packing, loading, hauling, and unpacking, Pricing Van Lines is for you.

Sustainability Practices:

Some moving companies make green moving their whole identity. As you can tell from the rest of this review, that’s not really what Pricing is all about - but they may still surprise you with a few of their sustainable practices!

The most notable way Pricing Van Lines cuts down on emissions is by bundling moves. This means if a move isn’t big enough to fill an entire truck, they’ll actually stack several moves in the same trailer so there’s no empty space. This does mean some delays while they deal with pickups and dropoffs along the way, but it’s better for fuel efficiency - and a lot better for your wallet.

Moving Resources and Guides:

If you’re looking for a moving quote, Pricing Van Lines makes it easy. All you have to do is enter your move info on their website, and they’ll get in touch with a free detailed estimate.

Aside from easy quotes, Pricing Van Lines also offers some helpful blogposts on their website. If you need a guide to moving to a particular city, or you just want a checklist to make your move a little more organized, they’ve got you covered.

Customer Reviews and Testimonials:

Pricing Van Lines actually features video reviews from their customers! You can see these on their homepage. Aside from their own site, Pricing also has a 3.4 out of 5 on Google. For the moving industry, that’s actually pretty solid - especially when you see how nasty some Google reviews for other companies can get!

If you’re looking for a no-frills, simple and sweet move that’s way more affordable than the big name moving companies, Pricing Van Lines is the way to go. Hop on their website, get a moving quote, and best of luck with your relocation!
