Moving to a new home is exciting, but it can also be a big logistical challenge, which is why many people turn to a trusted moving company to handle it for them. Deciding on who should be moving your personal belongings is extremely important; the first step is researching the company and taking a look at a lot of online reviews.

To make sure a moving company is right for you, Tri Isle in Wailuku, HI, recommends asking these basic questions before hiring:

What Kind Of Insurance Do They Have? 

They should have insurance already, but they may also offer additional insurance you can purchase to protect your belongings. Also, ask them exactly what their insurance covers. 

Are There Hidden Costs? 

The last thing you want is to expect to pay a set amount and then be surprised by how their pricing is set up. 

Do They Have Any References Or Reviews? 

Most reputable companies will have some reviews for you to take a look at or maybe even a previous customer you can call. This is a good way to get unbiased opinions.

How Does Payment Work? 

If they ask you to pay in full up front, you do not want to use them. Only use the company if they allow you to pay after everything is delivered and accounted for. 

There are some great moving companies to choose from, and these questions will help you choose the right one. When you’re ready to make your big move, call Tri Isle at (808) 244-1800 for help planning your move among the islands or across the world.
