Our Ratings System & Process Connects The Dots For You

---

 America's Best analyzed and compared a variety of publicly available data, including internet search data, to determine which moving companies Americans are most interested in. We found 10 moving companies that stand out in terms of volume of searches and research among consumers, as well as across the different rating sources.
 

We then compared the available moving companies across several criteria, including sample cost, auto shipping availability, initial deposit value, full insurance/valuation availability, storage availability, available discounts, interstate moving options, and international moving options. Research shows that these are the most important criteria for people shopping for a moving company.

 

 Our Reviews team applied an unbiased methodology that includes opinions from professional reviews as well as consumer reviews.
 

Our scoring methodology is based on a composite analysis of the ratings and reviews published by credible third-party professional and consumer review sources. The ratings are not based on personal opinions or experiences of U.S. News. To calculate the ratings: 

 Please note that not all professional and consumer rating sources met our criteria for objectivity. Therefore, some sources were excluded from our model.

The third-party review source data were collected in a variety of forms, including ratings, recommendations, and accolades. Before including each third-party data point in our scoring equation, we had to standardize it so that it could be compared accurately with data points from other review sources. We used the scoring methodology described below to convert these systems to a comparable scale.
