FAQs

What else should you know about moving out of state?

A moving company helping you move out of New Mexico must be properly licensed and have a U.S. Department of Transportation number. Of course, all the Artesia movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order, but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.

If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.

Should I use a local company or a national company when moving from Artesia?

If you’re moving across town, a local moving company in Artesia is going to be the most cost-effective approach. If you’re moving out of New Mexico, using a national moving company like Safeway Moving comes with more experience. That experience — along with the increased mileage — typically means higher costs than with local relocations.

When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Artesia?

Moving companies in Artesia 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.

What are the cheapest ways to move out of Artesia?

DIY moving will always be cheaper, especially when moving within 50 miles of Artesia. The cheapest options for moving out of Artesia are usually renting a moving truck like U-Haul or a moving container like PODS. We’ve also got a helpful guide if you’re looking for the cheapest ways to move out of state.
