Mayflower Transit: Nearly a Century's Worth of Moving Experience

About Mayflower

Mayflower Transit was founded by Conrad M. Gentry and Don F. Kenworthy in 1927 in Indianapolis, IN. It expanded its service to corporate relocation nearly two decades after serving families, and in 1962 the company started supporting military and government moves throughout the world.

In 1995, Mayflower joined UniGroup, forming the nation's largest moving and storage services provider. The company is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, and it also earns high 4.1/5 stars rating on Forbes and a 3.9/5 star rating on ConsumerAffairs.

Corporate Moves

Mayflower is a trusted corporate mover. It realizes the importance of moving employees and their families, so it will make sure the entire process is smooth while keeping your transferees excited and ready to work as they arrive at their new destination.

Mayflower offers corporate storage solutions such as storage in transit (SIT) that complement its moving services. It can be a great option if your employee's residence or your company's location is not ready yet to receive its belongings.

Full-value protection is also an excellent option for your corporate relocation; by the standard, it comes with your Mayflower quote. Full-value protection will have your items repaired or replaced should any damage or loss occur during shipment.
 

Military Moves

Mayflower performs military moves approved by the General Service Administration, which is a status that describes companies that are allowed to work with the United States government. Mayflower offers intuitive move solutions for military members, whether it's a temporary duty or a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move.

As a military member, you get a fully customized relocation experience with flexible and convenient service options such as packing, unpacking, storage, and debris removal. Mayflower can also facilitate your military move interstate and internationally in over 150 counties.
 

Car Transportation Services

With Mayflower, you also do not have to worry about your car transportation. Mayflower can meet all your auto transportation needs whether you are moving across state lines or cross-country.

You get two options for transporting your car, open-sided trailers, and enclosed car carriers. The former option is more economically friendly and is the most preferred option by customers. Enclosed carriers, however, come at a higher cost but provide better protection for your vehicle against dust, debris, and harsh weather; it is a better option for high-value or luxury vehicles.

You also get two delivery options:

• Door-to-door car transportation
• Terminal to terminal services
