Benefits of using a removals company

As anyone who has moved house, ever, can attest, getting the keys to your new house signals the endpoint for a rollercoaster of emotions. However, after riding a wave of excitement initially, there is no way guaranteed to bring you back down to earth like going through the actual moving process.

So, as your moving date approaches, boxes need to be packed and taken over, with questions remaining over logistics. For example, how will you transport all your belongings from your old house to your new one?

Several options are available, such as getting family and friends to help, loading up a car and driving yourself, or making the most of the van/car rental services that dominate app stores and billboards. But why would you want to do this alone?

The easiest and most reliable option out there is to hire a removal company. At AnyVan, we help save you money moving anything, anywhere. Besides affordability, here are four other benefits of using a removals company:

1. Experienced and professional

Sure, we could all cut our hair if we wanted to, but most of us choose to go to the hairdressers. Why is that? Because that is what they do day in, day out. Moving house should be no different.

Calling in the professionals, often with years of experience behind them, means that the people handling your belongings know what they need to do and are used to dealing with all kinds of moves. 

Whatever your requirements, they will find a way to get the job done in a prompt, professional and convenient manner.

2. No lifting and carrying

You worked hard to save up for a house, and you may even work harder to pack up where you were previously living. Or at least, that could be the case if you went down that route alone, although we will get to this later. 

By using a full-service removals company, you should not need to lift a finger as moving day arrives. Let them take care of loading and unloading whilst you focus on the unpacking.

Although the benefits of this may already be clear, you will find this to be a godsend if you’re moving with young children, for example, which brings us nicely onto the third point.

3. Goods covered with insurance

Transporting your belongings by yourself means that you’ll be required to take out additional insurance coverage to protect them should anything happen during your move. But, naturally, this means another expense added on to what is already an incredibly costly time.

You can avoid this fee by opting to use a removals company. In our case, you can see the driver's insurance levels before you book a trip, allowing you to rest easy knowing that should the worst happen, you’ll be covered.

4. Packing service (if required)

Packing was once a necessary evil, but it no longer has to be. We know not everyone is a packing expert, but they don't have to be. 

We want to make sure everything arrives in tip-top condition, so why not get the pros to pack for you? As part of the range of services offered by removals companies, packing is an option which can save you time and energy.

Our Premium Package means that not only is everything transported to your new home, but it also gets packed efficiently too.
