PR Newswire (US)
LOS ANGELES, July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Starting this month,
users of Rent.com, an eBay company, will gain access to the number
one online network of moving companies as Moving.com begins to
power free moving quotes at the Rent.com Moving Center. "We are
excited about this strategic relationship which will expose
consumers who visit Rent.com to an even larger network of quality
moving companies that are prescreened, licensed and insured," said
Peggy Abkemeier, co-general manager and chief financial officer at
Rent.com. "This relationship is the result of a strategic decision
by Rent.com enabling us to focus on our core business in rentals
while capturing revenue through this arrangement with Moving.com."
Moving.com will power the widget providing free mover quotes on
Rent.com, which in turn feeds leads to prescreened moving
companies. Unlike some online sites that sell leads many times over
to various types of service providers, Moving.com only provides
users with information about the services they request. "We are
honored to be chosen by Rent.com to support the Rent.com Moving
Center, and we're confident their visitors will appreciate the high
level of service Moving.com provides," said Patty Mitchell, senior
vice president, consumer media at Move, Inc. "Our agreement will
benefit renters and moving companies alike. Renters will gain easy
access to high quality movers and the movers who work with us will
gain the opportunity to service Rent.com users." On average, 16
percent of the US population is moving at any given moment and
two-thirds are renters (approximately 32.5 million people), making
the moving quotation service on Rent.com a valuable tool for
renters. Renters have much higher mobility rates than homeowners,
with almost one in every three making a move within a one-year
period(1). The next step for renters who have found a new home is
to set up moving arrangements. At Rent.com's Moving Center,
Moving.com will provide renters with free online quotes for full-
or self-service (i.e., movers load and drive vs. customer loads,
movers drive), as well as special assistance with transporting
autos, pianos, antiques and office equipment. ABOUT MOVE, INC.
