The following man and van hire tips will definitely be of help to you:


Testimonials

Their testimonials are basically reviews of services that they've rendered before. While they might just be getting off the ground and they might not have (which, in itself, is not especially bad), an established moving company will definitely already have testimonials. If they don't, then go ahead and ask for recommendations. They should be able to provide you with the contacts of people who they've done business with in the past, and make sure to call these people to ascertain whether they did a good job or not.


Do they Have Moving Insurance?

Moving insurance is definitely important. A moving company should at least be able to provide you with a guarantee of no harm whatsoever will come to your belongings. However in the event that something does happen, this is where moving insurance comes in. They should be able to help insure your items so as to provide for proper compensation


Compare Man and Van Prices

Their price should also help in making a choice.

When it comes to prices, you might want to consider more than one company. Ensure that they all understand the details of your move, and that they are able to carry out the operation for you. From there, ask for a piece quote and listen closely to their analyses as well. If a moving company provides their services at rates that are just unacceptable, then you should know that these guys are just not the best for you.

Moving license

For a moving company to be able to drum up business for themselves, then they need to have a license for their service. Make sure to ask for a license, and if a company is unable or unwilling to show you the license, then you should begin having some doubts about the legitimacy of their operations.

Do they provide moving boxes?

A company that is willing to go the extra mile for their clients is one that everyone will like to do business with them. To wit, you can ask if they'll provide moving boxes and shipping boxes for sale or if you'll have to get yours elsewhere.
