One of the main problems with moving is parking. Tracks usually take at least 2 parking slots, and if you live in a place where you don’t have a loading dock, u definitely have to consider getting a parking permit. It gives us a guaranteed perfect place to move to and saves you time.

We strictly recommend getting moving parking permits in Boston areas such as (North end, Charlestown, and Back Bay). Also, if you are living on a one-way street and there is parking on both sides of the street. You definitely have to get a parking permit. If you do not do this, your estimated time will be wrong. Because movers must park the truck in any available spot closest to the apartment.

Also, customers are responsible for any parking tickets (if they are not purchasing a moving permit from city hall). Don’t forget that your moving date is at least 2 weeks from today and no more than one month away.

We can take care of parking permits by purchasing them, but we charge an additional amount of money for this service. You can also do it yourself and apply for the permits below.
