FAQs
What else should you know about moving out of state?

All the Nantucket movers we recommend meet these requirements, but you can verify credentials yourself through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you're planning a move across state lines, make sure to review the FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move guide.

There are 10 movers in Nantucket, which puts you in a good spot: enough options to weigh service and pricing, but not so many that the search becomes overwhelming. Across Massachusetts, you’ll find 94 movers. To simplify the process, we’ve spotlighted the best local moving companies.
For cross-state or cross-country moves, Safeway Moving consistently stands out as the most reliable partner.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Nantucket?
Moving companies in Nantucket are usually slower in November and December due to the holidays and kids being in school, so you can negotiate with a mover more during those months and save some money.
