When it’s time to move to a new abode, you might schedule your movers or rental truck for Saturday. After all, you’re off work and will have the entire weekend to transfer your stuff to your new place.
But since moving companies have the highest demand on the weekends, that’s when their services or rental vehicles are the most expensive. The next time you compare prices, check a weekday—Monday through Thursday—date versus the weekend options (Friday counts as a weekend day in this case).
If moving during the week would be cheaper than the weekend by the equivalent of one day’s pay, it’s worth taking the day off and considering a weekday move.
