Moving the Heart of the Midwest

Cook County is more than just Chicago; it is a sprawling tapestry of communities ranging from the historic manufacturing hubs of Cicero and Melrose Park to the serene North Shore estates of Winnetka and Glencoe. Whether you are moving into a classic bungalow in the Berwyn bungalow belt, a high-rise in Evanston, or a sprawling property near the Forest Preserves of Cook County, navigating this region requires a mover who understands its complexity. From the busy arteries of I-90 and I-294 to the quiet residential grids of Oak Park, every neighborhood has its own rhythm.

 

When looking for Cook County movers, look no further than Hollander Storage and Moving for expert knowledge and friendly support. Hollander has been around since 1888, serving this county since before many of its suburbs were even incorporated. In that time, we have earned the trust of our customers over decades of moving residents and businesses. As an award-winning agent of United Van Lines, we offer the personal touch of a generations-old family business with the resources of a major national network.

Comprehensive Moving Services in Cook County

Local Residential Moving

Cook County is vast, covering 945 square miles of land. Our local crews are experts in navigating it all, from Arlington Heights to Calumet City. We understand the nuances of local moves, whether it involves reserving a parking spot on a narrow street in Forest Park or navigating the freight elevators of a Des Plaines condo complex. We treat your belongings with care, ensuring a seamless transition whether you are moving five miles or fifty.

Long-Distance Relocation

If you are leaving Cook County for a new state, we are the partner you need. As a premier agent for United Van Lines, we connect residents to a trusted nationwide network. We handle the complex logistics of interstate moves, ensuring your belongings are tracked and protected from your driveway in Illinois to your new home in Florida, Arizona, or anywhere in the U.S. We bridge the gap between local care and national reach.

International Moving

Cook County is a global hub, and we support global transitions. If your career is taking you overseas, we manage the entire process. We are members of the International Association of Movers and FIDI accredited, giving us the expertise to handle customs documentation and global freight forwarding. We ensure your household goods are export-wrapped and compliant with international shipping regulations, making your move to Europe or Asia stress-free.

Commercial and Office Moving

From the corporate corridors of Schaumburg to the industrial parks of Elk Grove Village, we support the county’s thriving business ecosystem. We execute efficient moves that minimize downtime, ensuring your business is back up and running quickly. We handle everything from modular furniture disassembly to sensitive IT equipment transport, allowing you to focus on your operations while we handle the logistics.

Corporate and Employee Relocation

We assist Cook County companies in managing talent mobility. Whether you are transferring executives to the headquarters in Northfield or moving staff out of state, our relocation specialists handle the details. We work with your HR department to provide white-glove transitions that keep your employees focused on their work, not their packing boxes. We act as an extension of your team, providing professional service to your most valuable assets.

Senior Moving Services

We offer compassionate support for seniors moving into the many retirement communities across the county, such as those in Orland Park and Palos Heights. Our team understands the emotional weight of downsizing. We assist with sorting, packing, and setting up the new residence to feel like home on day one. We coordinate directly with facility management to handle elevator reservations and parking, taking the stress off the family.

Professional Packing Services

Proper packing is the best insurance against damage. Our professional packers use high-quality materials to protect your valuables, from delicate china to heavy workshop tools. Whether you need a full pack for a large estate in Inverness or partial packing for just your kitchen and breakables, we save you weeks of effort. Our crews are trained to pack efficiently and securely.

Secure Storage Solutions

If your new home isn't ready or you need extra space for business inventory, we offer secure warehousing options. Our facilities are monitored and climate-controlled, providing a safe harbor for your furniture or documents. Whether you need short-term storage during a renovation in La Grange or long-term solutions for excess inventory, we have the capacity to handle your needs.

Auto and Vehicle Shipping

Don't worry about driving multiple cars to your new destination. We offer reliable auto shipping services for Cook County residents. Whether you need to transport a family sedan, a vintage car, or a motorcycle, we provide door-to-door transport. Our carriers ensure your vehicle arrives safely without the wear and tear of a long road trip.

Tips for Moving in Cook County

Watch the Winter Parking Bans

Many suburbs in Cook County, including Skokie and Oak Lawn, enforce strict overnight parking bans during winter months (usually Dec 1 - Mar 31) or after 2 inches of snowfall. Ensure your driveway is cleared and salted so the moving truck can park off-street, avoiding fines and ensuring safe loading.  

Navigate the Tollways Wisely

The Tri-State Tollway (I-294) is a critical artery for moving between the north and south suburbs, but it is often under construction. We plan our routes carefully to account for travel times and toll costs. If you are moving during rush hour, we may suggest alternative start times to avoid the gridlock near the O'Hare Oasis or the I-55 interchange.  

Check Village Sticker Requirements

When moving into a new municipality within Cook County, be sure to check the local vehicle sticker regulations. Towns like Berwyn and Cicero are strict about vehicle registration. While this doesn't affect the move itself, taking care of it early prevents tickets once you've settled in.
