Great company to work with! The crew who helped with our move was top notch, we had everything moved in a matter of hours. They handled all of our furniture with care and made sure we had it setup as desired at the new location. Would definitely recommend them!

Original moving truck apparently was in accident enroute to our home. Mover demonstrated poor communication to my wife and I about a plan B. Said they would be there later that day but could not provide details. Ended up showing up the next morning, late and with a Penske rental truck. All our belongings could not fit on truck. They placed the burden on my wife to find and pay for a storage unit to keep the items that would not fit on their truck. We received no apology nor compassion from the company. I was also forced by a man named Lee to meet the moving truck at my storage unit location in Myrtle beach at night. Truck did not arrive until midnight and movers did not finish unloading my stuff until 4am in the morning. I had been awake for nearly 24 hours. The moving company employees were good. The company itself and how it treated my wife and I was an epic failure. I would never use Xpress movers ever again, nor recommend them to anyone of my family or friends. I have moved 10 times in the last 20 years and this experience was horrible. Now my wife and I have to make arrangements with a Uhaul truck to drive back to Virginia to retrieve the rest of our belongings and bring them down to South Carolina. More time and money on us because the moving company failed to do their job to the satisfaction of the customers (Us).

Local Moving

Local moving requires an experienced team. Not just with packing, loading, and hauling, but with all the best routes to get from point A to point B with minimal delays. After all, local moving is charged per mover and per hour - and every minute stuck in traffic is another dollar out of your wallet.

iMoving is ready to help you find the best local moving company in Charlottesville. We've made it quick and easy to compare quotes, and we've also made it quick and easy to list out the exact services you'll need on the big day.

Storage Services

We always recommend downsizing before you shop for quotes. This way, you won't be charged to move a bunch of stuff you don't even want anymore. But if the downsizing wasn't quite enough (or you didn't find any takers for that old sofa), you can always book the best storage in Charlottesville with iMoving.

Our platform is optimized to connect you with movers, but it's also a great place to find secure, trusted, on-site storage. And since many of our storage providers do double-duty as moving companies, they can deliver your items straight to your door.

FAQ

Does iMoving Offer Packing and Unpacking Services?

We pride ourselves on our broad range of services, and that includes packing and unpacking. When you search for a Charlottesville mover with iMoving, you’re getting access to over 1000 verified movers, and all the bubble wrap and boxes you’ll ever need.

Where Can I Find Specialized Movers for Items like Pianos or Art in Charlottesville?

If you’re looking for premium movers, we’ve got them. iMoving has a huge network of moving specialists who can handle anything from your motorcycle to your Monet. Use our marketplace and search for premium moving specialists to get that extra TLC.

Do Most Movers Provide Storage?

Some movers provide storage units, but not all of them. It’s always a good idea to shop around for a moving company that can provide all the services you’ll need. Fortunately, iMoving’s marketplace lets you see what’s on the menu with each mover, including secure storage options.

Do I Need Moving Insurance?

It's always a good idea to get insurance, and in the interest of being responsible, we're not going to tell you to skip it. However, if you're feeling risky and you're only moving a couple blocks (without anything fragile thrown in the mix), you may be able to get away with the basic coverage offered by your movers.

How Can I Tell if a Mover is Legit?

Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website. If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number. Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.
