Moving in high season : tips to avoid the unexpected
Moving in high season or school vacations is often unavoidable. Yet this is also the busiest time of the year. In fact, the months from June to September account for over 50% of all moves in France. During this high season, slots are quickly filled, prices rise and unforeseen events can quickly accumulate. Fortunately, by adopting the right methods, you can manage your move with peace of mind.
Muter Loger, experts in geographic mobility and tailor-made support, offer effective solutions to help you make a success of your move, even in the middle of summer.
Anticipate to better manage your move in high season
-
Book your move several weeks in advance
During the high season, it’s essential to get in early. Ideally, you should contact the movers 2 to 3 months in advance. Not only does this give you more choice, it also allows you to compare rates with peace of mind.
By planning ahead, you’ll be able to choose an experienced mover, adapted to your volume and constraints. Don’t forget to check the insurance offered and ask for a detailed quote. At Muter Loger, we work with certified movers, guaranteeing reliable service every step of the way.
2. Avoid dates that are too popular
Most individuals move at weekends or at the end of the month. These dates are therefore the most expensive and riskiest. If you can, opt for a weekday or mid-month move. These periods are less busy and movers are often more available. This also reduces the risk of delays or overloads.
Prepare your belongings and procedures efficiently
-
Sort, organize and pack methodically
A move during the high season is the ideal opportunity to get things sorted. There’s no need to take unused or damaged items with you. Donate, sell or recycle what you no longer need. This will reduce the volume you need to transport, and therefore save you money. Next, pack your belongings piece by piece. Use sturdy cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, and label each box.
Make a note of the contents and destination room. This makes unpacking in your new home much easier.
2. Don’t neglect administrative formalities
Changing your address also means notifying several organizations. You need to inform the Post Office, insurance companies, banks, tax authorities and energy suppliers. To save time, you can use online mail redirection or multiple declaration platforms.
Muter Loger also offers assistance with these formalities. Thanks to our digital concierge service, you can transfer your contracts (electricity, internet, water) without stress. This solution prevents you from forgetting or being cut off on arrival.
