Most people don't realize that moving in New York City can be a very difficult process. There are many restrictions involved when moving to or from this city. For example, if you are in Manhattan, you are only allowed to use a 28-foot truck or smaller. Also, you will need to get a permit to park the truck on your block or risk getting a costly ticket.
There are movers out there who don't know the regulations which are specific to New York City, and many of them will add the unexpected expenses to your bill. If they receive a ticket for parking without the required permit, they will charge it to you. In the case of a long distance move, if they need to park further away, you will be charged for a long carry (when the truck must park more than 75 feet from your door or entrance to your building). With a local move (pick up and delivery are less than 50 miles apart and are within New York state), you will be charged by the hour, and of course, parking a block or more away will increase the amount of hours necessary to perform the job.
Avoid unexpected charges by seeking a company who is familiar with both your pick up and destination cities. This way, if there are additional expenses because of permits, long carries, or any other costs associated with your move, you will be aware so you can budget accordingly.
