Our summary of AAA Movers
AAA Movers draws high praise for fast, careful handling and professionalism, with many noting friendly, efficient crews who make moving less stressful. Most clients describe courteous movers who protect belongings and provide responsive communication. However, 39% of all feedback flags ongoing issues. The most common problems include significant damage to property, bills far above the original quotes, and weak customer communication after a move. Customers frequently mention unresolved damage claims and low reimbursement, especially compared to leading competitors who often resolve problems faster and more fully. Out of 382 reviews analyzed, a strong majority—60%—report positive moves, cementing AAA's standing as a reliable mover in terms of day-to-day efficiency and respect for property. Still, the volume of reports about unaddressed breakage, substantial overcharges, and difficult follow-up sets AAA apart from the best movers, where accountability and cost transparency are more consistent.Ratings based on moveBuddha's research methodology, updated June 2026.
