Moving out of state can be highly stressful because it usually requires more planning and effort than moving to a new neighborhood close by. You have to decide whether to hire state-to-state movers or go through the entire moving process independently.

Moreover, you also have to think about the belongings you wish to take along with you and decide what to do with them when you reach your destination. While you might have moved houses around the block in the past, there is nothing like an out-of-state move.

However, the more distance you have to cover, the more details you have to consider. So, if you’re someone who is considering an out-of-state move soon, you have your work cut out for you.

That said, with a few moving tips and a will to never give up, your out-of-state move will go exactly how you planned it. We’ve listed a few tips below to help you get started.

Tips to Plan a Smooth Out-Of-State Move

Rent a Storage Unit

Renting a storage unit will allow you to relieve yourself of some of the stress while ensuring that your belongings remain safe and sound during the moving process.

In addition, storage units provide homeowners with a safe holding place for their items during the chaos of home relocation. You can also plan out and decorate your new living space more efficiently.

Finding a storage unit that can accommodate your items and belongings is also pretty simple. For instance, if you’re moving to western Thousand Oaks in California, Google the term ‘Newbury Park storage‘ to shortlist a few options. Carefully select sizes and budgets to match your needs. Repeat the same for any other place you’re moving to.

Develop and Follow a Moving Budget

While there are numerous ways you can save money on your out-of-state move, the process will still include high costs. So, your best bet is to plan by determining the amount of money you can or want to spend on the process.

Doing so will allow you to make intelligent decisions, including the movers you decide to hire, the rental trucks you choose, the packing supplies you purchase, and everything in between.

So, consider using a moving cost calculator to identify the average price of everything involved in your move. For instance, during an out-of-state move, expect to pay anywhere from 800 to 2,150 dollars in accommodation and travel charges.

Furthermore, remember other fees as well; airfare charges, fuel charges if you travel by road, costs associated with shipping, and much more. In the end, it will add up quickly if you aren’t careful with your choices and you don’t plan early on.

Choose the Right Moving Company

Every homeowner has varying moving requirements; some people can move by themselves while others require full-service providers to pack and unpack for them.

So, you must consider your priorities and choose the best moving company you can afford. Not to mention, if you wish to move to a different state, know these many moving companies specialize in long-distance moves.

So, it’s all about doing your research and finding ones that fit your moving needs and budget.

On the other hand, if you’re taking the DIY approach, go online and read a few tips. You should know how to transport items over long distances while ensuring belongings like bulky furniture remain undamaged.

Get All Your Paperwork In Order Beforehand

While this might not be the most exciting part about an out-of-state move, getting your paperwork in order is of the utmost importance before moving.

For instance, cancel any subscriptions, change billing addresses, get your driving license updated, etc. You can do a few of these things before the actual day.

In addition, you need to do a few things when you’re inside your new home, such as contacting utility providers and setting up the Wi-Fi.

Visit the Destination

It would be wise to scope out your future destination to get the full details on everything from the best places to walk your dog to the new neighborhood shopping mall.

While traveling to a city in another state will be expensive, consider doing so if your moving budget allows it.

However, if you cannot physically visit your new destination, plenty of online resources will give you the ability to do so. For instance, your new state might have its website, which you can visit to receive virtual tours of the state’s attractions.

Furthermore, you can also read Yelp reviews of the best places in your new state for shopping, dining out, etc. In the end, you will feel more comfortable moving to a new location when you already have an idea of what to expect.

Pack Wisely

Don’t underestimate the effort and time that goes into packing your belonging when you’re looking to move.

After all, you wouldn’t want moving day to arrive when you’re still starching your head and trying to pack your kitchenware, furniture, and clothing items. That said, preparation is almost as crucial as picking your belonging.

You must ensure that you purchase the correct type and size moving boxes, padding, and protection for fragile items. Stock up on packing tape, bubble wrap, and other packing essentials.

You should also have access to your essential daily items so you won’t have to dig through every box to find your toothbrush. Pack a bag of essentials and keep it with yourself throughout the journey.

Conclusion

Preliminary planning is vital to your out-of-state move. Therefore, it would be best if you tried to remain as organized as possible a few months before your moving day.

Furthermore, suppose you’re hiring professional movers. In that case, you need to notify them a few months before your move so they can coordinate with you accordingly and provide you with the best possible moving service.

Whatever the case may be, don’t forget to take a deep breath, as moving from state to state might be tricky, but it isn’t impossible. Just follow the tips mentioned above, and your move will go as smoothly as possible.
