Yes. You can generate, edit, and use the full moving plan for free. The optional $19 one-time MovePlan Pro upgrade unlocks the printable PDF binder, weekly reminder emails, and a few power-user features.

Will I get sales calls from movers?

No. MovePlan does not sell your address or move date to third-party movers. The product is funded by the optional $19 upgrade, not lead-generation.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required. Your plan is saved automatically and accessible by URL. You can also add your email so reminder emails can be sent.

How long does it take to generate a plan?

About 60 seconds. You answer 5 short questions (move date, home size, origin, destination, what you need most help with) and MovePlan generates a personalized plan.

Yes. Every task, room, budget line, address, utility, and box label is editable. You can add custom tasks, mark items done, and rearrange the plan to fit how you actually want to move.

Long distance moving checklist

Last updated 2026-06-12 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A long distance moving checklist focuses on vetting movers, insurance, and timing. Once a move crosses state lines or hundreds of miles, planning and paperwork matter more than for a local hop.

Step: Get at least 3 written estimates and compare line items
Step: Verify mover licensing and read recent reviews
Step: Choose full-value protection over the basic free coverage
Step: Create a photographed inventory before pickup
Step: Confirm pickup and delivery dates in writing
Step: Pack a first-night box and travel essentials for yourself
Step: Transfer utilities and internet ahead of arrival
Step: Update your address, license, and registration after the move

A checklist for moves over a few hundred miles.

When: Begin 6 to 8 weeks before move day.

Watch out: Do not accept the free released-value coverage for a long haul; $0.60 per pound barely covers a damaged item.
