How to Save Money on Your Next Move
💸 Moving Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank
Moving can be stressful — and expensive — but with the right planning, you can keep your costs under control. Whether you’re relocating across town in Santa Fe, heading to Albuquerque, or making a long-distance move in New Mexico, there are simple ways to save money without sacrificing quality.
At Anytime Moving & Hauling, we’ve helped hundreds of families and businesses move affordably. Here are our top tips for saving money on your next move.
📦 1. Declutter Before You Move
The fewer items you move, the less you’ll pay. Go room by room and decide what to donate, sell, recycle, or throw away.
Host a quick garage sale or post items on Facebook Marketplace.
Schedule a junk haul with us before moving day — we’ll clear out unwanted furniture or debris so you don’t pay to move it twice.
🧰 2. Do Some of the Packing Yourself
Full-service packing is convenient but can increase costs. To save:
Start early and pack non-essentials yourself.
Use free or low-cost materials — grocery stores, liquor shops, and local recycling centers often have free boxes.
Label boxes clearly to speed up unloading (time = money).
Need professional help for fragile or large items? Our team can pack only what you need, keeping it affordable.
🚚 3. Compare Local Movers (and Ask for Flat Rates)
Always request written estimates and compare what’s included — hourly vs. flat rate, truck size, mileage, and crew size.
At Anytime Moving & Hauling, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start loading.
⏰ 4. Move During Off-Peak Times
Moving rates can vary depending on the time of year and day of the week. You’ll usually save money if you:
Move mid-month instead of at the beginning or end.
Pick a weekday instead of a weekend.
Avoid the summer rush if your schedule allows.
🏠 5. Bundle Moving & Hauling Services
If you’re also doing cleanup or downsizing, combining moving + junk removal can save both time and money.
Anytime Moving & Hauling offers package deals that cover both — so you don’t need two companies or two separate service fees.
🧾 6. Plan Ahead and Stay Organized
Last-minute moves often lead to overspending. Create a checklist, confirm your moving date early, and have everything packed before the crew arrives.
A smooth, prepared move means fewer hours billed and a lower total cost.
