We've rented from Penske numerous times. As a military family, we move...A LOT (latest count is 36, with 3 rentals total from our family in the last 3 months and at least 1 more to go) Penske always gives us a great rate and great service. We tried one of the "other" companies once and will NEVER use them again!
The move isn't over yet, but when I called, I generally got someone very respectful and helpful. We had bad weather on the day my cubes were to be delivered, so they called me to say they'd be late. I said they could deliver them the next day by a certain time. They were a LITTLE BIT late, but it all worked out. Jim, the driver who brought them, was full of good information for me and did a TOP NOTCH JOB using that fork lift and perfectly aligning the two cubes in my driveway.
PackRat has the best containers and turns out best pricing too. They assigned a veteran friendly planner and things were done well plus a veteran benefit. Be sure to plan for your garage and yard items. 2 fully packed 16 ft containers were not enough, later after house clean out I needed a uhaul trailer. I should have gotten a 3rd 6 ft or maybe 12 ft containers. Live and learn. My planner suggested it but I thought I could let go of more. The pickup and delivery schedulers and drivers were very friendly as well. I opted for unload helpers and that made a huge difference. A holiday present to myself. If you are in the NW Florida or south Alabama area, choose Allsouth Moving LLC for load/unload helpers. $6300 + ($440 * 2 to unload helper teams) 2 unload days, one for each container, so 2 unload teams 1400 sqft + garage, basement and yard
Unfortunately all of the 16' and similar size trucks had been rented from the rental companies before we could schedule. We snagged one of the few 12' trucks left and made some compromises. It worked fine and had no problems except limited cab room meant reclining the seats was far too limited and just wish they would ditch the low rear step and install an 8' ramp.
I had an incredible experience with Golden Movers and can’t recommend them enough! Our original movers, who we had booked a month in advance, canceled the night before our move, leaving us in a total bind. I placed an inquiry on Golden Movers’ website, and within two minutes, Camillo called me back and scheduled a same-day move for us—truly a lifesaver moment! This local family business not only stepped up immediately, but their kindness, communication, and customer support were impeccable throughout. I hired them for a two-hour job, but they were so efficient they finished unloading our truck in under an hour! They turned what was an extremely stressful situation into a calm and relaxed experience, handling everything with care and professionalism. I’ll definitely be hiring them for my next move. Highly recommend Golden Movers to anyone needing fast, reliable, and friendly movers. Thank you for saving the day - y'all were incredible!
