Questions to Ask Your Moving Provider

If you’re gearing up for a move, you’ve probably got a million questions swirling around in your head. Don’t sweat it—Go Mini’s of Augusta is here to make things easier. From getting a quote to packing up your belongings, we’re covering all the common questions you might have for your DIY move with Go Mini's.

1. Does the Quote Cover All Fees and Costs?

When you get a quote from Go Mini’s of Augusta, rest assured that the amount covers all fees and costs. Our upfront pricing model means no hidden fees – what you see is what you get. We believe in keeping things transparent and straightforward, so you won't be hit with any unexpected charges.

2. Will My Price Go Up After I Book?

No need to worry! Once you’ve got a quote and are ready to book, the price you’ve been quoted will be honored. Even if our prices change from the time of your quote to your booking date, we stick to our original offer. We want you to know exactly what you're paying without any surprises.

3. How Do I Prepare for Moving Day?

Getting ready for moving day is key. Start by decluttering your home and setting aside items you no longer need. Gather packing supplies like boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. Label your boxes by room and content to make unpacking easier. When your Go Mini’s container arrives, have a plan for loading it: put heavier items at the bottom and make sure fragile items are well-protected. Remember, you're in control of the packing, so take your time and do it right.

5. How Do I Know My Belongings are Safe During Transit?

With Go Mini’s of Augusta, the safety and security of your belongings is our top priority. Our containers are made of durable steel construction, providing protection from the elements during transit. Additionally, our delivery trucks are equipped with air-ride suspension systems to ensure a smooth ride for your belongings. You can also add a lock to your container for extra security and peace of mind.

6. How Far in Advance Should I Book?

Go Mini’s of Augusta usually has a 2-3 day turnaround time throughout the year. While you can book as early as you like, we ask for at least 2-3 days' notice.

Plus, our instant online quote makes it easy to get started.

7. Are My Items Insured During Transit?

Your peace of mind is important to us. While Go Mini’s takes great care in transporting your container, we recommend checking with your homeowners' or renters' insurance to see if your items are covered during transit.
