FAQs
What else should you know about moving out of state?
Any moving company helping you leave Ohio must have the proper licenses and a valid U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. All the Wilmington 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.
Is it better to use local or national movers to relocate from Wilmington?
There are 10 movers in Wilmington, which puts you in a good spot: enough options to weigh service and pricing, but not so many that the search becomes overwhelming. Across Ohio, you’ll find 87 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 Wilmington?
Since demand for movers in Wilmington drops in November and December — thanks to the holiday season and school commitments — you’ll have more room to negotiate with moving companies and potentially lock in lower prices.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Wilmington?
If you're staying within 50 miles of Wilmington, doing the move yourself is usually the most affordable option. That includes renting a truck from companies like U-Haul or going with a moving container service such as PODS. Read our full breakdown of the cheapest ways to move out of state.
