Even if you hire a cheap moving company, moving can still cost thousands of dollars when you go with the pros. DIY moves are always much cheaper, but they require a lot more hard work and careful planning.

In general, hiring professional movers is worth every penny if you can afford it. And the best part is that you don’t have to hire movers to do absolutely everything if you don’t want to. Moving services are extremely customizable, and anything you do yourself will make your move cheaper. If there’s a moving task—like packing—that you feel comfortable doing yourself, take care of it before moving day so your movers don’t have to.

Of course, you should clearly communicate with your movers about the jobs you’ll do yourself. If you sign a contract hiring your movers for a specific service that you end up taking care of without them, you could still get charged for that service.

There are three ways to pay for your move:

1. With cash
2. With a personal loan
3. With a credit card

Paying with cash is the safest way to pay for your move, and it can also be the cheapest since movers often give discounts to customers who pay with cash. However, since moving can cost thousands of dollars, paying with cash requires a lot of forethought and vigilant budgeting.

If you haven’t had a chance to save up the necessary funds, then taking out a low-interest personal loan for your moving expenses is also an option. Make sure you can commit to making the monthly payments before taking out the loan, though. Missed payments can incur huge fees. You should also shop around before choosing a lender since interest rates can vary.

Paying with a credit card is often the quickest method since it doesn’t require you to save up beforehand or seek out a lender. However, credit cards usually have much steeper interest rates than personal loans. Because of this, you should only use this method if you can quickly pay off the amount of credit you need to use.
