When making a move, whether it’s a local move or a cross-country move, there are several Moving Costs to consider. Many people forget about some of the small costs associated with moving. Certainly the largest expense will be the moving company or a truck rental. You’ll also have to purchase boxes, tape, and packing supplies. But did you think about the cost of gasoline to drive your items from your old home to your new home? Or the costs associated with taking time off work to move? There are also utility service disconnection and reconnection fees. Brainstorm before your move on these hidden moving costs to prevent any surprises when it comes time for the actual move.
