What's the Cheapest Day of the Week to Move? The short answer to this question is that the cheapest day to move is on a weekday — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Simply put, most moving companies offer better rates during the week because they aren't as busy then.

The cheapest way to move long distance without hiring cheap long-distance movers is by renting a truck and doing the move yourself. Packing up your stuff, hauling it in the rental truck, and unloading it at your new spot are all parts of a DIY long-distance move.
