Frequently Asked Questions
Are Moving Helpers Professional Movers?
Moving Helpers are business owners who advertise their services on the Moving Help Marketplace powered by U-Haul. To be listed on the Marketplace, Moving Helpers must agree to a background test and identity verification.
Do Moving Helpers Have Dollies and Other Supplies?
It depends. Some Moving Helpers go above and beyond and have their supplies for unloading jobs. It’s not required, however. We recommend checking whether your Service Provider has the necessary tools prior to moving day. That way, you can plan accordingly.
Is My Move Insured?
Eligible Service Providers offer Safeload® coverage, an optional moving insurance that covers damaged belongings. When selecting a Service Provide for your move, look for the “Safeload Coverage Eligible” badge.
Can I Book Moving Help to Load My Truck As Well?
Of course. Moving Helpers are mostly frequently booked for loading and unloading services. That means moving pros will help you load your U-Haul truck rental at Point A. and then unload it at Point B. You can even book the same helpers if you’re moving locally.
How Do I Pay for Moving Help?
After checkout, your payment is held in a secure escrow account. After the job is completed and you’re 100 percent satisfied with the service you received, you share a Payment Code with your helpers which releases the payment.
With our Payment Code system, you stay in control of the funds until the job is done, ensuring guaranteed satisfaction. The best part? The price you see during checkout is the price you pay on moving day. No surprises.
How Many Hours Do I Need?
It depends on the size of your move. Here’s a simple way to estimate:
| Home Size | Recommended Time |
| Studio/1-bedroom | 2-3 hours |
| 2-bedroom | 3-5 hours |
| 3+ bedroom | 5+ hours |
You also may consider the size of your truck. For example, it’ll take considerably less time to unload a 10-foot truck compared to a 26-foot truck. Learn more about selecting the right number of hours.
