Preparing for moving - 3 to 4 weeks prior to move
While
preparing for moving 3 to 4 weeks prior to
move, you need to decide about
whether you would like to drive your car to the destination or to have it
moved by professional auto movers. If you want drive it to the
destination, it is best to have it serviced. If you decide to let the
professionals do it, start looking for reliable and affordable car movers.
Make
a move checklist and refer to it frequently. Make travel arrangements for
the family if you have not already done so.
If
you are driving to the destination, you can take your pets with you in the
car. Find out in advance about hotels on your route that allow pets. You
can also choose to have them moved by an airline, but bear in mind that
pets are usually transported in holds that are not pressurized or heated.
Make
arrangements for rabies inoculations and health certificates that are
required by some states. Arrange for immunization and identification tags
for your pets. You can also consider making arrangements with professional
pet movers.
You
can give your houseplants away to family and friends, because some states
will not allow you to bring plants. Return items that you have borrowed,
and collect items that you have given to others.
If
you have not already made arrangements with a professional moving company,
it is best to do it without any delay. Obtain moving quotes in writing
from at least three dependable home movers, and call up references to make
sure that they have a good reputation. Check to see if the house movers
are licensed and insured.
