Before you book International Van Lines Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC11663
International Van Lines Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC11663. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Santa Maria references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about International Van Lines Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Santa Maria you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Ask about access for a tractor-trailer
International Van Lines Inc files 5 tractors. If a full rig cannot reach your door, the move needs a shuttle truck, which is a separate line on the bill; ask before the estimate is written.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Santa Maria at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $13,257 – $17,676. A surveyed, written estimate from International Van Lines Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
