When to book your move

Based on guidance published by U.Santini:

• It is wise to book your moving company at least 8 weeks before your move date.
• For moves during summer or major holidays, aim to schedule around 12 weeks in advance.
• For moves between September and May, it is often possible to book with about 2 weeks' notice, depending on availability.
• In all cases, it is best to secure your moving crew as soon as you have the key details confirmed (addresses, time frame, and any building requirements).

Best days of the week to move

• Weekdays, especially Tuesday or Wednesday, are often recommended for moving.
• These days typically have lower demand, which can mean better scheduling options and potentially more favorable rates than weekends.
• Weekday moves may also benefit from lighter traffic compared with weekends, which can help reduce travel time and logistical stress.

Insurance and building requirements

• U.Santini offers various insurance options to protect your belongings, including a full replacement coverage option.
• The cost of coverage depends on the value of the items being insured and the deductible you choose.
• Many New York City apartment buildings and commercial properties require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before a move.
• U.Santini can provide and manage COIs and other building documentation in advance to satisfy property-management requirements.
