Allied Van Lines logo

Allied Van Lines

4.3/ 5

All 50 states

Allied operates one of the largest North American moving networks through agent-affiliates. The brand earns high marks for full-value protection and international relocations, less so for last-minute or budget-tier jobs.

Why we picked it: Large interstate and international moves.

4.2/ 5

All 50 states

Atlas runs a federated agent network with strong corporate relocation operations. Customer experience tracks closely to which local agent handles your shipment, which is worth checking before signing.

Why we picked it: Corporate and government relocations.

North American Van Lines logo

North American Van Lines

4.1/ 5

All 50 states

North American (part of SIRVA) leans toward complex and high-value relocations, with strong piano and antique handling. For a basic studio across town, a local independent will almost always undercut their price.

Why we picked it: Cross-country moves with high-value items.

Mayflower Transit logo

Mayflower Transit

4.2/ 5

All 50 states

Mayflower is the second large UniGroup brand alongside United, with comparable pricing and similar full-service options. The 'Snapmoves' product is worth comparing for smaller interstate jobs.

Why we picked it: Long-distance moves with predictable timelines.

International Van Lines

4.0/ 5

All 50 states

IVL handles roughly 180 countries in addition to US interstate jobs. Their hybrid broker model can be useful for international shipments but introduces variability on the domestic side.

Why we picked it: Long-distance and overseas moves.
