What's a Hybrid™ Move?
Mix and match only the moving services you actually need to get the best value.
If you need to shave some major $$$ from your moving bill, a Hybrid™ Move combines the flexibility of a DIY move with the added muscle of a Full Service move. If you can drive a rental truck, pack your own stuff, or have all the time in the world to unload, you can move for cheaper.
Read on to learn how you can lower your moving bill.
HYBRID™ TYPES
You can hire as little as pro movers who will just lift your heavy stuff, to as much as letting HireAHelper hire all the pieces of the move for you. It wouldn't be a Hybrid™ Move if you didn't have options!

They called me the day before to inform me that the truck I was going to rent broke down between Nashville & Chattanooga and that they had to downsize me. The gave me an extra day for free since I would have to make multiple trips. They were very professional and understanding.
PackRat was chosen to provide 3 8x16 containers for my move. They placed these cubes within the parking lanes designated by the CubeSmart manager, without damage. The driver provided locks and demonstrated how to use the doors and where to attach tie down straps to hold materials in each section in place. They arrived on schedule and the same driver would return with one contaniter at a time. Great care was taken to protect my posessions. The containers were taken to the conditioned storage facility in Manassas, VA and they were loaded on a truck and quickly set out to my new home. Support was great and I received timely communications throughout the process.
Easy to setup and most everything can be done online. They were helpful every step of the way. Litte more pricy than some of the others but they pretty much invented this type of move and it shows.
