What's a Hybrid™ Move?
Mix and match only the moving services you actually need to get the best value.
If you need to shave some major $$$ from your moving bill, a Hybrid™ Move combines the flexibility of a DIY move with the added muscle of a Full Service move. If you can drive a rental truck, pack your own stuff, or have all the time in the world to unload, you can move for cheaper.
Read on to learn how you can lower your moving bill.
HYBRID™ TYPES
You can hire as little as pro movers who will just lift your heavy stuff, to as much as letting HireAHelper hire all the pieces of the move for you. It wouldn't be a Hybrid™ Move if you didn't have options!

PODS were right on schedule with everything and kept us updated on delivery and pickup schedules. They even provided great suggestions for companies to load and unload the POD.
We had a great experience with UPacks Relocube service. We used two cubes for our move. The scheduling was easy and communication was clear. The drivers who delivered and picked up the cubes on both ends of our cross-country move were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!
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.
