Hiring a man and van is also a good economical solution for people who are very budget conscious. While they are not as prestigious as a big company, a good reliable man and van may still accomplish the job efficiently. A man and van would still be able to help you move with minimal hassle.
The trick is to find the most reliable man and van though. That is why you should pick a man and van with rates and reputation as the basis. If you do not know where to start, you can ask family and friends who they have hired before. There could also be listing in the social hall or even local papers and Internet.

Then you can ask them to give you a quote for the move. Make sure that they come to your home to inspect your things and that they give you a written quote duly signed by the mover. They would typically consider the distance, weight and even hours needed to accomplish the job. Details about the items and entire move should be reflected there as this would be your basis later on in case of price disputes. Before you hire a man and van, check whether they are registered. And make sure that they are covered by insurance too so they will be capable of paying you in case any of your things get lost or damaged. Seek identification from the man and van as well.
