The Smart Way to a Cheap Move: Cocolis

Are you moving your student room or your family home? A guitar or a motorbike? In the same neighborhood or across the country? Each situation requires different resources and comes with different constraints. Whether it’s a few pieces of furniture or your whole life, moving is expensive. How can you cut costs?

Here’s our tip: Cocolis.

Big or small move?

In the end, it all comes down to:

• Volume: how much space will I need?
• Weight: can I do it myself or do I need a mover?
• Service: do I want delivery to the truck or into the room of my choice?
• Distance: am I moving within the same district or to another region?

Whatever the type of move, the smart way to save money is Cocolis.

OPTION: Small Move

I find a driver making the same journey as my move

3 boxes, 2 suitcases and a mattress… you have neither a car nor a license.

Let’s see. You’ve already asked family and friends: no one has the right vehicle or the time to cross France this time. Renting a van? But how do you find a driver? And your eco-conscience takes a hit with a van driving back empty.

The smart idea?

With Cocolis, you can quickly find a driver who’ll be happy to offset their journey by fitting your belongings in their trunk.

It’s simple, win-win, eco-friendly and friendly.

OPTION: Big Move

1: I optimize my moving van with COCOLIS

This year, for the move, you can’t manage with friends’ cars or Uncle Gaston’s little van. You had to rent a suitable van. Since the 6m3 was way too small, you had to go for the next size up, which is actually too big. There’s plenty of room for a guitar, a small box or a coffee table.

With Cocolis, you can easily make use of the empty space in your van.

How? You find someone near you (or along your route) who needs to send a few things to where you’re moving.

2: I hire a professional with COCOLIS

Transporting is a real job. Packing, carrying a piano, loading the van like a Tetris expert… It takes experience, the right conditions, and professional status.

And because you don’t have enough strong friends or the right vehicles to fit all your furniture or your motorbike, you go for a professional mover.

But which one? It’s a headache to find the right provider, a reliable mover who won’t cost as much as two months’ rent. Comparing services online, emailing each one, following up. It’s tedious, time-consuming, and not always reliable.

STOP: Cocolis takes care of everything.
