Questions about moving in Columbus

How many moving companies are there in Columbus?

This page lists 150 of them, licensed moving companies first. 109 of the companies listed here are licensed for moves to other states.

How do I check that a Columbus mover is licensed?

Ask for the company’s USDOT number and look it up in the government’s public record (every listing here links to it). For a move to another state the mover also needs an active out-of-state license, shown as an MC number. For a move within Ohio, also check the mover with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

Do movers need a license for a local move in Columbus?

Movers that move household goods within Ohio must be registered with PUCO and show their PUCO number in every ad and on their trucks. Crews that only load and unload, without moving goods, are not PUCO-regulated. If a dispute with a mover is not resolved, call PUCO at 800-686-7826.

What is the cheapest way to move?

Move less. Every item you sell before moving day is one less thing to pack, load and pay to carry. Price it to go, and let the price drop each day until you move.
