Leaving UAE? 2 new ways to find the best Relo company Jan 26, 2015
When it is time to move away from UAE, you are faced with a huge selection of relocation providers - all of whom will promise the earth, but how to be sure they will deliver (excuse the pun!)??

One issue people – both individuals and HR teams - are experiencing with this increased traffic is understanding if they are getting the best value for money from their current list of providers or the ‘go to’ big names.

Naturally, each relocation company’s strengths, weaknesses and abilities vary from country to country – some are fantastic at local moves, but does this mean they can be trusted to get all your worldly possessions across the globe? Just as some of the global giants can seem overpriced when compared to the fresh and efficient market new comers.

Unless you take some serious time to research all this, if the information is even forthcoming in the first place, how to determine who to relocate with?

Recently in UAE, the relocation industry has benefitted from some new services, which I’ll quickly bring to your attention as they may help you out –

Movesouq.com – an online quote request service. Simply tap in your details, sit back and numerous companies will get in touch to provide quotes. For smaller moves, this may be completed via a telephone call, but anything larger than a single bedroom apartment should require a survey (where someone from each company visits your house to assess the volume needing to be shipped). Their online system allows you to preview the companies, all of whom are rated by previous clients for their performance. Fantastic for local & budget moves - and getting quotes for domestic services (cleaning / gardening / maintenance).

ReCo Relocation Consultants - the latest addition to the market, are more focused on larger international moves. They offer a tailored service, which involves their consultants carrying out a single in-home survey and understanding your exact requirements in detail. They identify three companies (all FIDI approved, top tier providers), obtain competitive rates on your behalf then deliver an executive summary, allowing you to make an informed and quick decision. Similar in principle to an insurance broker, you just sit back while they do the leg work.

Both services are free of cost to use, and can hugely simplify the task of making sure your provider perfectly suits your requirements - giving you the most bang for your buck!

Good luck & happy moving.
