In fact, it gives you some extra sunlight to move in the afternoon. Let&#8217;s face it, moving in the dark is not all that fun. If\u00a0you are moving one-way, you will want to do a little\u00a0research so Daylight Savings Time doesn&#8217;t throw you off, especially when moving to a different time zone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>3 Simple Tips<\/h4>\n<p>1. Check to see if Daylight Savings Time is practiced in your new city or state. Some states, such as Hawaii\u00a0and most of Arizona\u00a0do not participate in changing the clocks during Daylight Savings Time.<\/p>\n<p>2. Know your drop off\u00a0time. If you are moving out of state and to a different time zone, be sure to return your rental based on the time on your\u00a0contract and your destination&#8217;s local time.<\/p>\n<p>3. Change all clocks that do not update automatically. You will probably have to reset your clocks anyway, but be sure to check local\u00a0times online or on your cell phone (since most update automatically). You don&#8217;t want to wake up late for your first day at your new job\u00a0because you are going off a different time zone.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you have any tips you&#8217;d like to share?
