Moving and short-term storage in the Treasure Valley
When your move-out and move-in dates don't line up, we pick up your things, hold them securely for the gap, and deliver them to your new place. Short-term storage, handled by the same crew that moves you.
Storage built around your move
Sometimes a move doesn't happen in one day. The new house isn't finished, the closing slipped, or the lease ends before the next one starts. That gap is what our storage is for: short-term storage between homes, as part of a move we're handling.
This isn't self-storage. You don't rent a truck, load a unit or carry anything. We move your things out of your home or business, store them securely, and bring them to your new place when it's ready. Because storage is for our moving customers, it's planned into your move from the first walkthrough.
When storage makes sense
- Between homes: you have to be out before the next place is ready.
- New builds: the house is still under construction.
- Closing dates that don't line up: you close on the sale before you close on the purchase.
- Lease gaps: one lease ends before the next one starts.
- Relocating: local or long-distance moves with a gap in the dates.
Short-term only
Our storage covers the gap between moving out and moving in. Tell us your dates and roughly how much you're storing, and we'll quote it with your move. If your dates change, call us and we'll set a new delivery date.
We don't offer long-term storage, or storage on its own without a move. If you need somewhere to keep things for the long haul, a self-storage facility is the better fit.
Storage for long-distance moves
Moving to Idaho before your new home is ready? Moving out of state and need the house cleared first? We can hold your things for the gap until the next leg of the move. See long-distance moves.

Better Route Movers and Storage provided an exceptional moving experience for us. We were relocating from three storage units plus our house, a complex job that they handled flawlessly. They honored their original quote with no hidden fees, which was refreshing. …
Great handling of property. Super nice. Guys were considerate of where to put things and took direction well.

Excellent company. Eric went out of his way to make sure my move was smooth and as stress-free as possible. Everything was carefully handled and wrapped, all arrived in perfect condition and on time.

Storage questions
How does moving and storage work?
We move your things out of your home or business, keep them in storage, and deliver them to your new place when you're ready. You never load or unload a storage unit yourself.
How long can I store my things?
Our storage is short-term: it covers the gap between moving out of one place and into the next. Tell us your dates at the walkthrough and we'll plan around them. We don't offer long-term storage.
How much does storage cost?
It depends on how long you need storage and how much space your things take up. Storage is quoted with your move on a free written quote, so you see the costs up front.

No. Storage is only for customers we're moving: we move your things into storage as part of the move and deliver them to your new place.
