Moving FAQ — Questions From Customers
Answers for anyone planning a move: how getting quotes works, whether it costs anything, and how to talk to moving companies on MovingQuotes.bid.
How do I get moving quotes?
Browse moving companies and their published listings, or reach out directly from a listing you like. We're building a guided, multi-step quote request that will send your move details to a matched network of movers at once — until then, browsing and messaging is the fastest way to start.
Is it free to request quotes?
Yes. Requesting quotes and messaging moving companies costs nothing. Moving companies set their own prices for the actual move.
How many moving companies will respond?
That depends on how many movers in your area and move type are active on the platform. You can message as many listed movers as you'd like — there's no limit on your side.
How do I compare quotes from different movers?
Each moving company's listing shows their move types, service area, and any pricing details they've included. Message a mover directly with your move details (what's moving, pickup and destination, and preferred date) to get a personalized quote.
How does messaging a moving company work?
Open a listing and use "Message this mover" to start a conversation. Replies arrive in real time under Messages in your dashboard, and you can continue the conversation there.
Can I leave a review after my move?
Yes — once you've worked with a moving company, you can leave a review on their listing or their profile to help other customers choose.
Do I need an account to browse listings?
No, browsing is open to everyone. You do need a free account to message a moving company or leave a review.
