Consider these elements for a stress-free move

Have important documentation: Places like high-rises and managed apartments will often require a copy of your mover's insurance and elevator reservation on moving day.
Get approval: Check ahead with any neighborhood, community, or HOA rules on moving to ensure a smooth move.
Secure a parking permit (if needed):
Check state licensing laws: In Illinois, regulations on in-state moves and local movers are set forth by the Illinois Commerce Commission. To move household goods locally and intrastate, companies need to have a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, so make sure the companies you’re considering have one and that it’s current.
Invest in moving insurance: Choose cost-free Released Value Protection from movers for basic coverage at 60 cents per pound. For more extensive protection matching your items' full value, consult your moving company for alternative options or consider a third-party insurance provider.

Work with your movers to ensure all these items are taken care of before moving day.

Average cost to rent a moving container in Round Lake Beach

Round Lake Beach has plenty of moving container companies to choose from. The containers are delivered, you load everything into them, the company picks it up, and it gets put in storage until you're ready for everything to be delivered to your new place.

Naturally, the advantage with containers like PODS and U-Pack is storage. These things will buy you time if you end up with a weird gap between leases.

Here's roughly what moving containers in Round Lake Beach are going to cost:

Storage fee: $59.95 per 30 days
Initial delivery: $70.0
Final delivery fee: $85.0
Damage coverage: $10–$350 based on coverage level
Parking permit (if necessary):
Door lock (if necessary): $10–$15
Equipment costs (if necessary): Dolly, straps, blankets (optional)

Storing everything in a one-bedroom will end up costing somewhere around $225–$605 door to door. Still, you might want to factor in a little extra in case you end up paying for labor.

Each large container holds about three rooms until it's completely full. You might end up needing more containers, but keep in mind that your cost will essentially double with each container you add.
