Learn what to look for when choosing a packing and moving company for your relocation. From licensing to pricing, get expert tips to find reliable movers in Colorado Springs.
Relocating can be a daunting task, but selecting the right packing and moving company can make all the difference. Whether you’re moving across Colorado Springs or to another state, understanding what to look for in a professional mover is crucial.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when choosing a packing and moving company—and share why families across the Pikes Peak region trust iHaul iMove.
What to Look for in a Packing and Moving Company
Experience and Expertise
Opt for companies with a proven track record. Experienced movers bring efficiency and reliability to the table—they’ve seen every challenge and know how to handle it. iHaul iMove has been serving Colorado families for 17+ years.
Licensing and Insurance
Ensure the company is fully licensed and insured to protect your belongings during the move. Ask for:
- State PUC license for local moves
- USDOT number for interstate moves
- Proof of liability and cargo insurance
Comprehensive Services
From packing to transportation, choose a company that offers end-to-end solutions. Look for:
- Full and partial packing services
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly
- Specialty item handling (pianos, antiques, artwork)
- Storage options if needed
Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Research feedback from previous clients to gauge satisfaction levels. Look for patterns in reviews—consistent praise for professionalism and care is a good sign.

Red Flags to Avoid When Choosing Movers
Not all moving companies operate professionally. Watch out for these warning signs:
- No physical address: Legitimate companies have a real office location
- Cash-only payments: Reputable movers accept credit cards and checks
- Large deposits required: Be wary of companies asking for more than 20% upfront
- No written estimates: Always get your quote in writing
- Blank contracts: Never sign a contract with blank spaces
- Unmarked trucks: Professional movers have branded, well-maintained vehicles
- No references: Established companies can provide customer references
