I got an estimate from another moving company that was simply astronomical. Rent the Help gave me a great price, provided help quickly, and finished in record time.
Negative Rent The Help Reviews
Dr. Dee Thomas, Google
The price was reasonable, and the staff was extremely friendly. The problem was that they did not know how to load the truck properly. It took more time and money than was needed.

Ashleigh, Google
Told me they had two guys available if I called before 4:30. I called before 4:30, and they had already booked them out. Not a good way to do business.
Neutral Rent The Help Reviews
Renee Coates, Google
One team member was 30 minutes late, though the crew was pleasant and worked hard. The biggest pieces came off last and suffered multiple scratches and dents.
Kelly Speiran, Google
They were very polite but seemed hesitant. The move took longer than expected, more than expected was left undone, and I lost a lamp shade, mugs, a pitcher, and a lamp.
Yelp
Fine movers, but they did not do a good job estimating how long it would take. It ended up taking much longer than anticipated.
