Best Movers With Storage in 2026

Storage is often the deciding factor on a long-distance move: closing dates slip, new homes are not ready, and boxes need somewhere safe to sit in the meantime. Short answer: A Plus Moving and Storage (10.0/10) is the top pick for storage-included moves, with Safeway Moving (9.2/10) and BLVD Moving (8.0/10) close behind, all three offer climate-controlled facilities with free storage windows on qualifying moves. We compared five CMR-vetted moving companies specifically on their storage capability, not just their moving reviews, so you can pick a provider that will actually take care of your things between pickup and final delivery.

How we ranked these five

Every company below is either CMR Certified Approved, our highest tier reserved for movers that clear our full vetting process, or CMR Verified, meaning we confirmed the company is a real, licensed, actively operating carrier. Certified and Verified are distinct tiers with different criteria. Not every mover on this list carries the same badge, and we say so plainly next to each pick.

Ranking factors specific to storage: whether storage is offered in-house versus through a third-party facility, how long free storage lasts, whether the facility is climate-controlled, and how storage pricing is structured once any free period ends.

3. BLVD Moving

8.0 / 10

CMR Verified Direct carrier USDOT #2892909 Chatsworth, CA

BLVD Moving treats storage as a full-service job rather than a self-storage drop-off. Its crew packs, wraps, loads, and delivers items to a climate-controlled, pest-free facility, builds a detailed inventory list of everything stored, and stacks goods efficiently to help keep the unit size, and the cost, down. Storage is available for as long or as short a period as you need.

Storage terms: Full-service climate-controlled storage facility with detailed inventory documentation, no fixed free-storage window published, ask BLVD directly for current pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pack my belongings before storage?

It depends on the company. A Plus, Safeway, IVL, BLVD, and Amex all offer full-service packing as an add-on, so their crews can pack, wrap, inventory, and load your items before storage. If you pack yourself, ask each company how that affects inventory documentation and claims coverage.

Is free storage really free, or does it come with conditions?

Most of the companies on this list include a window of free storage, commonly 30 days, as part of an interstate or long-distance move. After that window, storage typically converts to a paid monthly rate based on cubic footage or unit size. Always confirm the exact free-storage window and what happens once it ends before booking.

What is the difference between storage-in-transit and long-term storage?

Storage-in-transit (SIT) is short-term warehouse storage used when your delivery date is not yet finalized, usually capped at a set number of days before it converts to standard long-term storage billing. Long-term storage is an ongoing monthly arrangement for belongings you need to keep off-site for an extended period.

Are these storage facilities climate-controlled?

A Plus, BLVD, and Amex all specifically advertise climate-controlled storage. Confirm climate control directly with any mover if it matters for your items, since not every facility a broker or partner carrier uses will offer it.
