The Hidden Costs of DIY Moving

/in /by

When it comes to moving house, it’s natural to want to save money. For many people, that means considering a DIY move – hiring a van, roping in a few friends, and handling everything themselves. On the surface, it may seem like the cheaper option. But once you dig into the real costs – both financial and practical – going it alone isn’t always the budget-friendly route you think it is.

Here’s a breakdown of the hidden costs of DIY moving, and how choosing Mooveit Removals can actually save you time, money, and stress.

1. Van Hire – More Than Just the Daily Rate

Hiring a van sounds simple, but there’s more to it than the headline price. You’ll likely face:

  • Fuel charges (which can add up quickly on multiple trips)

  • Insurance add-ons

  • Mileage limits and surcharges

  • Extra fees for late returns or damages

Compare that with Mooveit, where the vehicle, fuel, and professional driving are all included.

2. Time Off Work

DIY moving usually takes longer than expected. You may end up taking days off work – potentially unpaid – to pack, load, and unload. A professional removals team like Mooveit can often complete a move in a fraction of the time, freeing you up to focus on other things.

3. Physical Strain & Injury Risk

Lifting heavy furniture and navigating stairs can lead to injuries – not to mention damaged belongings or property. Our trained team at Mooveit uses proper lifting techniques, safety gear, and experience to move your items safely and efficiently.

4. Lack of Proper Equipment

Trolleys, protective blankets, straps, and padding are essential for a smooth move – and most people don’t have them lying around. We bring all the professional-grade kit to ensure your items (and your home) are protected from damage.

 5. Unexpected Delays & Damage

DIY moves often run into setbacks: bad weather, last-minute van issues, or damage caused during transit. These hiccups can cost you more in the long run. With Mooveit, your move is planned, insured, and executed with care. Not to mention damage to a van you are not familiar with driving….costly!

6. Storage & Flexibility

If your new property isn’t ready, or you need to move out quickly, you may suddenly need storage. Mooveit offers secure, flexible storage solutions – so you’re not scrambling at the last minute.

The Mooveit Difference

While the upfront cost of a DIY move may look appealing, the added stress, risk, and time commitment can outweigh the savings. At Mooveit, we offer:

  • Transparent, competitive pricing

  • Professional removals with years of experience

  • Fully insured service

  • Packing support, secure storage, and more

Our goal isn’t just to move your stuff – it’s to move it safely, affordably, and stress-free.

Insured & Accredited House Removals

/in /by

When planning a move—whether it’s a home, office, or even items going into storage—choosing the right removals company can make all the difference. While there may be plenty of options out there, not all movers are created equal. One of the biggest signs of a trustworthy company? Insurance and Reputation.

Here’s why hiring an insured and reputable removals company like Mooveit Removals isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Peace of Mind with Proper Insurance

When you’re handing over your belongings—often valuable, sentimental, or irreplaceable—knowing you’re covered is crucial. At Mooveit, we’re fully insured, giving you peace of mind from the moment we arrive.

If something were to go wrong (though rare), you’re not left to foot the bill. That level of protection simply isn’t guaranteed with unlicensed or informal movers.

Professional Standards from Start to Finish

As an accredited removals company, Mooveit meets high industry standards for service, safety, and reliability. That means:

  • Properly trained staff

  • Regular vehicle maintenance

  • Professional handling and packing

  • Reliable scheduling and communication

We don’t just show up with a van and a few boxes—we bring skill, structure, and care to every move.

Reputation You Can Trust

Accreditation often means recognition from trusted industry bodies. It shows that a company is committed to best practices, ongoing improvement, and customer satisfaction. Mooveit takes pride in our reputation, and we work hard to uphold it with every job. Just Google our reviews!

Accountability & Transparency

An accredited and insured removals company has clear processes, documentation, and customer support. From quoting to final delivery, you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees, no corner-cutting. At Mooveit, we believe transparency builds trust, and we always put our customers first.

Risks of Hiring Uninsured Movers

Going with a “man and a van” without insurance or credentials might seem cheaper, but it comes with real risks:

  • No coverage for damaged items

  • No recourse if something goes wrong

  • Poor handling or missed appointments

  • Lack of accountability or professionalism

In short: what looks like a saving can quickly become a costly mistake.

Why Mooveit?

We’re proud to be:

  • Fully insured for removals and storage

  • Highly experienced and locally trusted

  • Committed to safe, reliable, and efficient moves

  • Transparent in pricing and communication

When you choose Mooveit, you’re choosing a company that cares just as much about your belongings as you do.
