Attempting to negotiate a cheaper price from the moving company without any persuasive reasons is probably not the best choice. That approach tends to backfire for lack of practicality. Here are three winsome options that will increase your odds of getting moving companies to reduce their charges. First, offer to rent the moving truck and drive it yourself. This strategy is particularly helpful for short distance moves where both locations are only 5-10 miles apart. Second, offer to pack up your belongings and label boxes ahead of time. Third, offer to move the lighter items in your garage so there’s less distance to the moving truck. All three of these options will make life much easier for the movers which will incline them to accept your proposal and lower the overall price for your move.
