About
U-Haul, a household name in the moving industry, was founded in 1945 by L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, to cater to the do-it-yourself moving market across North America. Starting with a simple idea in the aftermath of World War II, it has grown significantly from offering rental trailers to providing a comprehensive array of moving solutions, including U-Box containers and self-storage units. U-Haul is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and has amplified its offerings over the decades to include truck rentals, trailer hitches, propane refills, and moving supplies. U-Haul distinguishes itself by providing easy access to equipment through a vast network of dealers, robust online reservation systems, and 24/7 truck sharing, supporting the mobility of U.S. and Canadian populations. It remains a leader in the field due to continuous innovation and its commitment to meet evolving customer needs since its inception.

How we ranked the top Illinois movers
Why you should trust us
We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Illinois.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Illinois:

Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 567 companies that offer moving services in the Illinois area.
From these 567 companies, we analyzed a total of 122,337 reviews dating all the way back to August 2005.
We also reviewed a total of 129 state and federal moving licenses from these 567 companies and 1,830 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~122,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 394,199 data points to compute individual company scores.
Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 59,813 Zeigler moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.
Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer.
