While summer is the best time to move because kids are out of school, and families have more time to pack and move. During the months of June, July, and August, people need movers the most, which means companies charge the most and are less likely to offer deals. If you want to move for the least amount of money, try to move outside of the busy moving season.  Save the most money between September and April or the off-season. This window of time avoids both the busy moving season in the summer and the busy moving season in the fall, up until the beginning of September. During this time, people move out most because their leases are ending. Prices can drop by thirty percent! Some moving companies will be willing to negotiate a bit on price if you choose to move at a less busy time or if you can move whenever it works best for them. If you can change your plans to fit theirs, you can always ask for a small discount or moving coupons.  If you are moving locally and the movers charge by the hour, it is best to move when there are not many people around. That is, it would be best if the moving truck could get to the first place as early as possible and be on its way to the next place before 3 p.m. If your movers charge by the hour and your moving truck gets stuck in traffic, you will have to pay for that time.
