Search results for Connecticut movers include local crews, national van lines, and brokers that arrange work through other companies. Before comparing prices, confirm who will handle your move and what the contract says about delivery and delays.
In the last month, Connecticut social chatter was less “who’s cheapest” and more “are they actually showing up.” One person sat in a Connecticut house waiting on a crew for an international pack-out. A local mover’s TikTok joke landed because everyone here has heard “I know a few good guys.” That is not a moving company.

RT Relocation
Cheshire-based, local and long-distance, 40+ years, BBB A+ on their site. A Connecticut moving operator.
RT Relocation (search locally; no tracked affiliate link yet)Zip to Zip Moving
Comes up repeatedly in r/Connecticut for in-state and out-of-state jobs. Get it as a third quote next to a van line.
Zip to Zip Moving (search locally; no tracked affiliate link yet)Two Men and a Truck (Rocky Hill)
Fine for some local jobs. One r/Connecticut report: closing delayed, about $1,000 in truck hold fees for the week. Build delay language into the contract if your Greenwich closing is not rock solid.
Two Men and a Truck (Rocky Hill) (search locally; no tracked affiliate link yet)PODS or U-Pack
Best when you can load yourselves or hire labor separately. Recent long-distance chatter says containers come in cheaper and schedules move. Do not cut it to the closing day.
PODS · U-Pack (no tracked affiliate links yet)Other names locals mention without the same volume of national ads: Daley Moving, Barnes Moving and Storage, Honor Movers, Marie’s Movers, McCabe’s. Call them if they serve your origin town. For the interstate version of this decision, use the long distance moving companies Connecticut guide.
Red flags
- Huge cash deposit before they have seen the apartment.
- No USDOT number on an interstate job.
- r/Connecticut warnings this year included Colonial Van Lines and New Start Relocation. Verify any broker against FMCSA yourself.
- A friend-of-a-friend crew with no insurance certificate for your NYC building.
- Estimate that only exists on the phone.
