About
U-Haul, founded in 1945, revolutionized the moving industry, providing do-it-yourself movers with nationwide, one-way equipment rental solutions, initially starting with trailers.

Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona since 1967, U-Haul constructed its identity around supporting household moving with a vast array of products including trailers, trucks, self-storage units, and moving supplies. Distinguished for its extensive dealer network, U-Haul is a major provider in North America, leveraging its fleet to facilitate residential mobility seamlessly.

How we ranked the top New York 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 New York.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in New York:

Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 1,037 companies that offer moving services in the New York area.
From these 1,037 companies, we analyzed a total of 160,943 reviews dating all the way back to August 2006.
We also reviewed a total of 28 state and federal moving licenses from these 1,037 companies and 2,914 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~160,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 549,695 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 90,493 Menands 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.
