Investigate about them and find out which are reliable and licensed. Never take the risk of illegitimate or unlicensed company because they might cost less but there could be chance of your own loss. Therefore choose the company that is registered.
Compare the quotations: Mostly the moving companies give their quotations and free estimate on their websites for your convenience, you can see them, and compare which ever fits your budget you can hire.
Ask for discount: Ask the company for a discount, usually these companies provide with the service of packing the luggage, you can get a smart deal in that. Ask them to give you discount on taking both services. Or you can get discount by moving in their time frame if that suits you as well. There are periods during which there is a lot of movement of cargo in any particular area. On the other hand there are lull periods as well. If you know about them you can get cheaper rates for moving.
Ask for guarantee: Ask the company to give you the guaranty of your luggage. After all they are being paid for this job. Mostly well reputed companies give guaranty for their service and some also provide insurance cover for your cargo in transit, but make sure to get the guarantee on papers. So if there would be any damage the company would pay for it.
Read the contract: Read the contract carefully before signing that and make sure all the terms and conditions suit you.
Make a list: Make a list of your items, write their names and the quantity, if possible take the picture of your stuff before packing and be present when the luggage is being packed and loaded. After the delivery and unloading, unpack your stuff in the presence of the crew to show them if there is any damage. If you find anything broken, show them the picture before it was packed to get the compensation.
Check, check and recheck: keep checking everything at every step, check the house before loading the stuff, count all the cartons, and check the entire luggage before the company staff leaves because once they leave the house they won't be answerable.
