Bekins Van Lines: The Best Professional Movers
Coordinating a long distance move is overwhelming. There are timelines to manage, belongings to protect, logistics to arrange, and a new home waiting on the other side. One wrong step can mean damaged items, missed deadlines, or unexpected costs. You shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone.
When you move with Bekins Van Lines, you can be confident that our expert moving team will make your relocation as simple and stress-free as possible. For more than 130 years, we’ve been the trusted guide for families, seniors, and businesses navigating every kind of move, including local, long distance, and international. You get a dedicated agent, proven moving services, and the full resources of one of America’s most experienced full-service van lines behind you.
This Is Moving
Most people don’t realize how much a true full service moving company handles. Bekins isn’t just vans and a crew; we manage your entire relocation from start to finish. That means:
From the first box packed to the last piece of furniture placed, we’re with you every step of the way. Whether you’re moving cross country or just across state lines, move with confidence knowing our moving services are carefully managed and backed by a nationwide network of moving experts.
No two moves are alike, which is why Bekins offers a full range of residential moving services to fit your situation, your timeline, and your budget. Whether you’re relocating a few miles away or starting fresh in a new state, our experienced team and dedicated local agents handle the logistics so you don’t have to.
Moving later in life comes with unique challenges. As a Silver Certified™ moving company, Bekins delivers senior moving services with the extra care, patience, and attention to the details that matter most to older adults and their families. We help make a major life transition feel manageable, whether you’re moving into a smaller home closer to family or a retirement community.
Even a short move involves more coordination than most people expect. Scheduling, packing, loading, and getting everything safely to your new home takes time and effort from the right local movers. Our local moving services take that burden off your hands, with a Bekins agent managing the details from start to finish so moving day feels manageable rather than chaotic.
Long distance moves introduce extended transit times, cross-state regulations, careful inventory management, and the added pressure of being far from home during the process. Bekins specializes in long distance moving services, coordinating every phase of your relocation and keeping you informed throughout so there are no surprises when the truck arrives.
Want to hand off every part of your household move? Our full service moving option covers it all, including packing, loading, transport, unloading, and unpacking. Our residential movers bring the materials, handle the heavy lifting, and get your new home set up so you can focus on settling in rather than stressing out.
Sometimes your timeline doesn’t allow for weeks of advance planning. Bekins’ priority moving services are made for customers who need to move quickly without sacrificing the quality and care that Bekins is known for. We’ll work with your schedule and provide secure transport to get you on your way as fast as possible.
Moving abroad means navigating customs requirements, international shipping logistics, and regulations that vary by country. Bekins has the global network and expertise to manage international relocations with the same care and precision we bring to every domestic move. We’ll make sure your belongings arrive safely, on time, and in full compliance with destination requirements.
PCS moves involve strict timelines, specific requirements, and the added stress of uprooting your family, often on short notice. Bekins has extensive experience working with military families, and we understand what it takes to meet military move standards with professionalism, efficiency, and respect for your service.
However your move takes shape, it starts with a conversation. Your local Bekins agent will get to know your timeline, your home or business, and the details that matter most to you, then build a plan and free quote around what you actually need. From residential and senior moves to corporate relocations, we’re ready to help you figure out what comes next.
Relocating a business is a different challenge entirely. Every hour of downtime has a cost, employees are counting on a smooth transition, and the stakes of something going wrong are higher than in a typical residential move. Bekins’ commercial moving services minimize disruption and maximize efficiency, with a dedicated Bekins agent coordinating every detail so your team can stay focused on running the business.
When your company needs to move employees across the country, the logistics can quickly become a full-time job for your HR team. Bekins takes that weight off your plate. We provide comprehensive corporate relocation support, coordinating moves for individual employees or entire teams. Whether you’re relocating one executive or an entire department, we make the transition smoother for everyone involved.
Bekins handles office and industrial moves with inventoried workstations, careful equipment handling, and timing that works around your operations so your team is productive at the new address fast.
Bekins coordinates FF&E moves for new builds, renovations, and rollouts, with inventory, staging, and phased delivery aligned to your opening or occupancy date.
Every business has its own equipment, timelines, and constraints. Bekins handles hospitality, laboratory, restaurant, retail, and healthcare moves with the same level of planning and accountability we bring to every commercial project, with a dedicated agent who builds the move around your operations rather than the other way around.
When your company needs to move employees across the country, the logistics can quickly become a full-time job for your HR team.
Bekins takes that weight off your plate. We provide comprehensive corporate relocation support, coordinating moves for individual employees or entire teams. Whether you’re relocating one executive or an entire department, we make the transition smoother for everyone involved.
When your company sponsors a move, your employee feels every detail of how it goes. Bekins works directly with relocating employees to coordinate packing, transport, timing, and delivery, with a single agent as their point of contact from the first conversation through move-in day. The smoother the move, the faster a new hire or transferring team member can settle in and get back to work.
Managing moves across a workforce is its own kind of project, with budgets to track, policies to enforce, and employees in different cities all on different timelines. Bekins partners with HR and mobility teams to handle the moving piece end to end, from individual transfers to full team rollouts. You get consistent service, transparent pricing, and one trusted partner instead of a different vendor in every market.

Our professional moving services have been unparalleled for more than 130 years—we’re here to make your move easy, quick, and efficient so you can focus on making your new house a home.

Certain items present special challenges when moving them—like automobiles and pianos, for example. Bekins has the expertise to move these items without issue and to get them safely to your new home.
Driving your vehicle across the country during an already demanding move adds unnecessary stress, miles, and wear to your car. Bekins offers professional car shipping services so you can focus on getting yourself and your family to your new home without worrying about your vehicle making the journey, too.
Although we do everything we can to ensure your belongings stay safe and damage-free, unfortunately, sometimes accidents happen. To ensure you’ll be compensated for any issues, get valuation and protection with Bekins Van Lines!

Your belongings are important to you, so they’re important to us. As one of the best professional moving companies, we only use top-quality packing materials to keep your items safe on their journey. But if something is damaged, we have you covered.
While many professional movers only offer the minimum protection legally required ($0.60/pound per damaged item), Bekins offers full replacement value protection (FRVP) to give you both peace of mind and better protection in the rare case that a mistake happens.
FRVP is available at a small extra charge and offers ten times the level of protection than the legal minimum. You tell us the value per item, and we’ll repair or replace the items based on your declared value. We can also protect items of extraordinary value like oriental rugs, pieces of art, jewelry, and other important belongings.
Learn more about the mover protections we offer.
If you’re moving a long distance and aren’t able to bring all your belongings with you right away, Bekins can help. Our professional moving services include three storage options to suit your needs. Whether you’re looking for storage for a few weeks or several months, we’ve got you covered.
Choose among our three storage options:
When you’re ready for your belongings, give us a 24-hour notice. We’ll get everything back to you in pristine condition. As some of the best professional movers, we can even deliver your items to you.
Learn more about our moving storage options, including how to know how much space you’ll need, how to pack for storage, and how we will keep your belongings safe.
We want your move to go smoothly, so we recommend scheduling professional moving services as soon as possible. Call your Bekins agent as soon as you know when you’ll be moving, typically 4-8 weeks before the move. This helps you reserve your moving date and gives you ample time to plan.
If you don’t have 4-8 weeks, don’t worry. Give us a call, and we’ll do our best to fit your move in so you can settle into your new home confidently.
You can pack your own belongings, but Bekins offers comprehensive packing services if you don’t want to deal with the hassle. Your items are important, and packing them the right way helps ensure that everything arrives at your new home safely. We use the best packing materials and proven strategies to keep everything from your computer to your dishware secure.
If you’d prefer to do the packing on your own, that’s fine. Reach out to your local Bekins agent for high-quality packing materials and talk with them about how packing your own boxes affects your valuation protection.
We know that moving can be expensive, so Bekins Van Lines offers discounts that can make hiring professional movers easier on your budget. Visit our moving discounts page to see if you’re eligible for a reduced rate.
As one of the best professional moving companies around, we’re proud to provide comprehensive moving services. Our expert movers understand that moving specialty items like pianos, antiques, and artwork takes a lot more work than simply placing these items on a moving truck.
We’re experienced in moving heavy, bulky items safely. Contact your Bekins Van Lines agent for more information about scheduling a specialty item move.
We do our very best to keep all your belongings safe and sound. If there’s a bump in the road, we’ll do everything we can to resolve the issue.
If you have a damaged item, hold on to the item and the packaging until you contact Bekins. Don’t try to repair or replace the damaged item until your claim review is completed.
You can file a claim online, email us at claims@wvlcorp.com, or speak to a representative by calling 833-425-4982 and pressing 3.
