Two of my friends in Tamarind did this. They had local movers professional pack the Rental Van- Then when they arrived here had some local Village Movers help take off the Heavy items.
The cost is cheaper the plus is your furniture is with you at all times.
With a large copany mover you pay more they pack it for you and the minues are you wait and wait and you worry about damage!
Like you open to suggestions!

To be honest, we aren't bringing a lot. We have been through all the options and at the end of the day decided to hire a mover through The Villages Relo.
We would have to have a trailer hitch put on our car, rent the trailer, drive during a possible bad time of the year (end of Feb) and try to move a scooter as well as a car. Factor in three dogs. Whew! We opted for the movers.
We have purchased most of our furniture from Showcase and have taken down a carload when we went down for our LS stay. We are loading our suitcases for bear when we come down for closing and will pack the car again when we make the final move.
I plan to have them pack the items that are important and if they get broken, they can replace and will/have pack the rest myself.
After we factored extra gas, trailer hitch (costs more for a Saturn Vue, long story) trailer, possible loss of items (because we don't know what we are doing) we opted for the pros.
TMI?
