Our United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit affiliation:

Hilldrup is affiliated with both United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit, two of the largest national van lines. Both United and Mayflower are a part of UniGroup, Inc., the parent company of the two brands as well as of UniGroup Worldwide and UniGroup Logistics.

Hilldrup has been an agent-owner and stakeholding representative of UniGroup, Inc. since 1964. We are the largest household goods hauling agent on the East Coast, and the third largest agency group for UniGroup.  We proudly represent the national brands of United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit as together, along with the other agents, we are the largest network of professional mobility experts providing global infrastructure and complementary services.  Being a part of these national networks allows us access to fully-vetted, background-checked and similarly trained resources across the country, allowing uninterrupted service no matter where our customers are moving from and to.   

When doing business with Hilldrup, we are able to provide a quote and services from both our United arm and our Mayflower arm. In fact, whether you choose to do an in-home or virtual survey, our team can provide you with a price quote for both United and Mayflower as part of your survey results.  While some customers prefer moving with one brand over another, we provide the same quality service with the same trained, background-checked and certified team members whether you chose to move with Hilldrup United or Hilldrup Mayflower.  We look forward to serving you!
