Cross-Town Moves Made Easier
There is a better way to move across town than buckling in your flat screen in the backseat. Across town might not seem too far to go, but how many bumps and stops are between you and your destination that can cause your things to shift and possibly result in damage?

Storage Solutions for Unexpected Delays
When it comes to moving, it’s safe to say there could be unforeseen delays in your timetable. Whether your new home isn’t ready yet or you have to move out before you can move in elsewhere, hiccups can happen.
With Nilson Van & Storage, you have access to short term storage solutions while we assist you with your move. No need to pack all your things for storage just to pack up again to move. If it’s everything you have or just a couple of items that you don’t need right away, pack it once, and make it count.
Nilson Van & Storage takes pride in our storage facilities. They are insulated and monitored for security to ensure your items are well cared for. To further prevent damage, we double-check that your items are packed well. It is our goal to resolve any storage needs you may have – short term or longer – efficiently and effectively.
As we pack your items for storage, we will create a complete inventory of the items and record the number of boxes used so that you will know exactly what is being stored. Should you decide that you need any of the items that we are storing, you can access your things, and we can deliver them to you.
If time constraints or other delays surface during your move, our storage in transit can be a lifesaver. We are able to securely store your items in the middle of shipping until you can resolve the issues at hand. Your items will be delivered exactly when you need them, and you can have peace of mind until then, knowing that your things are safe and secure.
We have confidence that our staff of trained and experienced professionals will get things done right for you. Customer service is our focus, and we will hold nothing back to make sure you only receive the best.
Special Care When Packing Your Most Loved Possessions
Moving can cost you hours of preparation just in putting all your items into boxes. Some of the hardest decisions can be deciding what you want to bring with you and what is unnecessary and can stay behind.
Even once you make the final decision on what stays and what goes, you still have to pack it all. When it comes to moving your home, there will be countless boxes that require their own packing and shipping. This can be a demanding endeavor that can take its toll on you.
It is in situations like this that Nilson Van & Storage can save you time and probably a headache or two. We employ a large staff of background-checked and trained movers who will provide quality assistance. If you let us help, you can count on us to:
- Pack your belongings quickly and securely
- Provide you with a complete inventory of packed items
- Bring all the supplies needed to pack your belongings
- Unpack everything at your destination
Before we pack the first box, we will sit down with you to evaluate your needs in order to provide you with an accurate price quote. You know up front the exact cost of business, with no hidden fees or costs.
As we assess your needs, we will discuss necessary supplies and go over any special item considerations. We will field a team of qualified professionals appropriate to the size of the job ahead to assist you.
We are happy to help you simplify your move whether it’s for your whole home or just a room or two. If you are happy, then so are we.
Bring Your Vehicles Along for the Ride
As you move your belongings to your new residence, you may find that you have vehicles that also need transport. Sometimes there is no easy way to move multiple cars, or you are flying to your destination. In situations like these, you can use your moving company to provide auto transport.
What Does Automobile Transport Include?
At Nilson Van & Storage, we offer packing, moving, and short-term or long-term storage options for your belongings. This includes all of your motorized means of transportation.
Common situations that call for auto transport include:
- Multiple Vehicles – The number of vehicles outnumber the amount of available drivers, preventing all being moved in one trip.
- Rushed Relocation – If your company wants you at a new location yesterday, then you might not have days to make the long trip. You may need to pack a bag, book a plane ticket, and let everything else follow.
- Long Distances – Driving your car for a long distance move can mean hours and hours of driving, wear and tear on your automobile, racking up the miles on your car, and high costs in gas. Reduce this by shipping your vehicles separately.
- Overseas – When crossing large bodies of water that prevent travel by automobile, vehicle transport can get your car to the destination.
- Non-Road Motor Vehicles – Boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, and other vehicles that cannot be driven to your new location can be transported. This is true for ATVs, lawn mowers, tractors, and more as well.
Cost of Auto Transport
There are a lot of factors that go into determining the cost to transport your vehicles to your new residence, including:
- Distance of transport
- Make/model/condition of the Item (there may be an additional charge for towing and hauling if the vehicle is inoperable)
- Weight and size
- Additional mover services
- Insurance coverage options
Additional Notes
Before you choose to transport your vehicle to another state or country, it is always wise to check regulations and laws that could affect your vehicle. For example, some states have different standards for vehicle safety and emissions. This could mean you need to set up a test to check your car or even sell it before moving to avoid any difficulty with it down the road (if it might not meet local regulations).
This should also be considered when you are moving a long distance and will face a very different climate. A heavy AWD vehicle might not be as necessary if you are traveling from the wintery North to milder Southern weather. In these kinds of situations, it is often better to sell your car before your move and get a vehicle that better suits your new lifestyle or location.
We are always happy to help you with any questions you may have about services, advice, or pricing. Call us today and find out for yourself why we are fourth-generation moving experts with over 75 years of experience.
