Tips and tricks

Prepare your move well

Prepare your move with MultiAuto

To the Réunion As with anything else, moving house can be complicated to organize, especially the first time. We offer you this short, practical guide.

Organizing your move

ESTIMATE THE VOLUME TO BE MOVED

First, you should estimate the number of boxes, furniture, and appliances you want to transport. This will allow you to assess the size of the utility vehicle before renting.

– 3m3 van: Suitable for transporting small goods or 20 boxes.
– 4-6m3 van: Suitable for transporting large household appliances or numerous boxes.
– 7-9m3 van: For moving a studio/one-room apartment or 60 boxes.
– Large van 10-12m3: For moving a 2/3 room apartment or 90 boxes.
– Large 14m3 van: For moving a 2/3 room apartment or 90 boxes.
– Small truck 16-20m3: For moving a larger area or 120 boxes.
– 20m3 Tailgate Truck: For moving a larger area or 120 boxes. The tailgate version will make handling your belongings easier.

If in doubt about the size of the vehicle, contact one of our agencies, one of our advisors will advise you on the most suitable utility vehicle for your move.

POINTS TO CHECK BEFORE MOVING:

Termination of lease:

Before moving out, you'll need to terminate your lease with your landlord or real estate agency. Check your rental agreement for the notice period to prepare your termination letter. Send a letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

Transferring your subscriptions:

Contact your suppliers to inform them of your move and provide your new address.

Reading the water meter and the electricity meter:

When you leave, you must note the information on the various meters (water, electricity).

PREPARING FURNITURE AND YOUR GOODS FOR TRANSPORT

First of all, make sure you have the necessary moving equipment (boxes, bubble wrap, tape, etc.) and sort through things, get rid of broken, damaged or no longer used items.

Next, carefully evaluate your transportation for moving non-dismountable or old furniture. Newer furniture is often easier to disassemble and more practical, but it becomes fragile. It's more practical to transport it in one piece. Don't hesitate to add painter's tape for the corners. Also, collect several flyers and magazines for wrapping your dishes or bubble wrap.

For your furniture, remember to keep all the screws and nuts in a sturdy bag after disassembling them. This will prevent you from losing them during transport in the vehicle.

Regarding your clothes and books, we recommend storing them in less bulky bags and/or small boxes to make them easier to transport.

Take advantage of your move to clean your appliances. Remember to unplug and empty your fridge a few days beforehand. Avoid plugging it back in immediately; wait until the next day.

And finally, don't forget to properly drain the waste water from your washing machine, dishwasher, or dryer. This will prevent damage to your other belongings in the rental vehicle.

RENTING A TRUCK FOR MOVING

Moving alone can be a real challenge. Contact your friends so they can help you move. Make sure they are there on moving day.
