Moving to Hawaii can be expensive, but if you know how to do it you can make the move cheaply. One way to save twenty five to thirty percent on your move is to not only to make plans in advance, but you should make the move at an odd time like the middle of the month, during the winter, or mid-week.

When you are ready to move do not call just one mover and accept whatever bid they tell you. Take the time to do your research and contact at least three movers and get their bids for the move. Once you have the three bids, make sure that you compare the amount that they have quoted you, the distance they are willing to give you for the amount and the amount of weight that is included in the bid. Naturally you want to take the lowest bid, but before you do you should check their references and see if the cheapest is the best. If you do not like any of their bids or their references, look some more. This is one of the reasons that you start planning in advance and not at the last minute.

Instead of letting the movers pack your belonging, buy packing material from a discount place and do the packing yourself, but before you start your packing, go through your things and set aside the items that you can live without to help keep your moving expense down. If you want you can sell your furniture and appliances and buy them after you move because it can be quite expensive to move these items.

If you are renting some of the apartments in Hawaii come completely furnished. If you just take your personal clothes and a few items that you do not want to get rid of like family photos and rent a furnished apartment you will find yourself saving quite a bit of money.

Since it can cost over a thousand dollars to ship your car to Hawaii, you might consider selling your car and when you get to Hawaii you can buy another car. Once you arrive you can check to see if there is public transportation that you can use so you may not need to buy a car.

These are just a few of the many ways you can cut back on the expense of moving to Hawaii. The best way to save money is to take just the necessities and buy what you need once you get there.
