How to Find a Legitimate Moving Company in Las Vegas

To avoid moving scams in Las Vegas, follow this checklist:

1. Verify Physical Address: Legit movers have a real office/warehouse—not just a P.O. box or virtual address. Visit if possible.
2. Get Written Estimates: Binding or not-to-exceed quotes detailing hourly rates, hours, materials, fees. Avoid phone-only estimates.
3. Confirm Insurance: Demand a Certificate of Insurance (cargo liability, workers' comp). Check coverage limits.
4. Check Complaint History: Search BBB.org, FMCSA (DOT number), Yelp, Google Reviews, Angi. Look for patterns.
5. Get Multiple Quotes: Compare 3+ companies. Lowball estimates often signal bait-and-switch.
6. Verify Licensing: Interstate movers need FMCSA/USDOT number; intrastate need Nevada PUC authority.
7. Avoid Large Deposits: Reputable movers don't demand big upfront payments.

Red flags: no physical address, cash-only, unmarked trucks, pressure tactics, "guaranteed" unrealistic dates.
