Allied Van Lines doesn't require a deposit like other moving companies and offers virtual in-home estimates, making it one of the best and easiest options for any move.
What to expect during a long-distance moving quote
Once you've decided to hire a mover, you've only got a few steps left to get a quote for your move.
Here's how it works:
- Share your move details: Movers need to know about your route, timing, and home size to give you an accurate estimate.
- Narrow down your options: Pick the movers you want a quote from, based on your top priorities (e.g., deposits, services, discounts, etc.).
- Review and compare options: Your selected movers will follow up with details about their services and costs.
- Finalize your quote: After you've picked the estimate you like, a moving coordinator will work with you to help you take inventory for your move, confirm dates, discuss extras like packing or storage, and lock in your price.

Best movers period
From the beginning of the move to the end, the communication was great & they cared for my items as if they were their own. Can't ask for more from a moving company!

Understanding and communicative
I was extremely satisfied, the team was courteous, competent, and great to work with. The driver took great pains to accommodate us and communicated with us regularly. This was an easy move.

They care
Interacting with the driver, the loaders, and the packers, was good and influenced my rating. They clearly cared about what they were doing, and they clearly cared about my stuff. I would definitely like to use them again. They were great.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, Allied Van Lines is a broker—sometimes. Allied is a moving company that owns its own trucks, employs its own movers, and communicates directly with its customers. The company is authorized to operate as both a carrier and a broker, which means that in certain situations, Allied works with a nationwide network of partners to complete some moves.
As with all moving companies, you’ll want to get a quote for your specific move size and distance. On average, a 500-mile move will cost $3,500.
Allied Van Lines has a good reputation, and we had a good experience with them when we used them to help a couple move from Tennessee to Texas. We love it for its virtual quotes, wide service areas, and quality security measures.
Allied Van Lines is owned by Sirva, Inc., which is a global relocation and moving company.
Allied defines a long-distance move as more than 400 miles. It defines local moves as going less than 50 miles and cross-country moves as those that cross state lines.
Allied has two packing service features. The company’s full-service packing option takes care of all your belongings, and its fragile packing service focuses only on specific items like dishes, artwork, and mirrors.
