Why AVL Instead of DIY?

AVL's flat-rate pricing means the number you get upfront is the number you pay. It's straightforward, honest pricing that lets you budget with confidence.
Protection for Your Belongings

Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Knoxville
- Lock in your moving date early. Long-distance schedules fill up fast, especially in peak season. The sooner you book, the more flexibility you'll have on timing.
- Wrap fragile items with what you already own. Use towels, linens, and clothing to cushion breakables. It saves money on packing supplies and makes good use of items you're moving anyway.
- Confirm arrival-day logistics. Verify utility setup, parking rules, and any elevator reservations at your destination so move-in goes smoothly.
- Transfer medical records in advance. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records early so you're not scrambling to get care in a new city.
- Prepare for a rainy move. Knoxville sees around 50 inches of rain a year, so ask about floor runners and keep upholstered pieces and anything cardboard off wet ground.
- Check parking rules before moving day. Knoxville has specific parking and permit requirements for moving trucks. Sorting this out ahead of time keeps the crew from circling the block or getting ticketed while they load.
- Redirect your mail before you leave. File your change of address with USPS so nothing piles up at your old place after you’ve gone.
FAQs
How long does a long-distance move usually take?
Long-distance moves typically take 3 to 14 days from pickup to delivery, depending on how far you're going and your scheduling needs. American Van Lines will give you a realistic delivery window upfront so you can plan accordingly.
What's the best time of year to move?
Generally, moving between September and May gives you more flexibility on dates and sometimes better pricing. If you have to move in summer, booking early is key since it's the busiest season for long-distance movers.

An inventory is a detailed list of everything you're moving. We'll help you create one to determine pricing and make sure all your items are accounted for and transported safely. It's a key step in ensuring nothing gets lost and your belongings arrive in perfect condition.
What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?
American Van Lines accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and certified checks. For long-distance moves, payment is generally collected at delivery. Your move coordinator will confirm the exact terms when you book.
