How many hours do I need?

The number of hours you need depends on the size of your move, the amount of furniture, and how many flights of stairs are involved.

Why a minimum of two hours?

Moving Help Service Providers require a two-hour minimum to ensure the job is feasible for scheduling and travel.

What is a Payment Code?

A Payment Code is your way of controlling the funds. You only give it to your Moving Helper once the job is finished and you are satisfied.

Where can I find my Payment Code?

Your Payment Code is located in your confirmation email and within your U-Haul Customer Account under your order details.

Safeload® is a specialized insurance coverage option available through certain Moving Helpers for protection during loading and unloading.

YTown Helpers

Amazing people and they helped us utilise all the space in the ubox! Couldn’t have done it without their help. They carried every item including fragile ones with utmost care. They took a good look at our stuff and were pretty confidant with the stuff they could fit in the box and they fit everything! Amazing work! Highly recommend!
