Your Storage Solution, Simplified.
When you choose Budget Van Lines for your home or office move, you're not just getting a moving company; you're getting a dedicated team of experts who will guide you through every step of the process. From the initial booking to the final delivery, our agents and dispatchers are there to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. And we don't stop there - we encourage you to share your feedback with us after the move, so we can continue to improve and redefine what it means to be a quality moving broker.
As one of the nation's largest moving brokers, licensed by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Budget Van Lines has a vast network of over 100,000 trucks and 500 motor carriers across the country. This allows us to arrange full-service moving at self-service prices, saving you up to 50% off the carrier's normal rates.
Our Mission
At Budget Van Lines, our mission is to provide top-notch service and support throughout your entire relocation process. Our team of moving consultants is dedicated to exceeding your expectations and making your move as hassle-free as possible. We are committed to consistently delivering excellent service and value your feedback as a tool to help us continuously improve.
How We Work
Every day, thousands of trucks are on the road, making deliveries and pickups of household goods across the country. Many of these trucks will continue to their next destination unfilled. Our affiliates notify us of the location of these unfilled trucks and the promotional discounts they are offering. Our central database system enables our agents to match your move with these discounts, passing the savings onto you.
Please note: We do not transport an individual shipper's household goods directly. Instead, we arrange for transportation of household goods by an FMCSA-authorized household goods motor carrier, whose charges will be determined by its published tariff. We are not a motor carrier authorized by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
