How to Have a Full-Service Move with U-Haul

There are legitimate reasons to go with a full-service move, whether it is from accessibility needs, time constraints, or simply convenience. Unfortunately, with a traditional full-service move, these services can cost a small fortune. Most traditional full-service moves cost between $1,500 and $11,000.

Where people really end up saving money with any full-service move is by using a portable moving and storage container, paired with local Moving Helpers. That way, there is no driving a moving truck, and no loading/unloading your belongings. This combination often costs half as much as a traditional van line or full-service mover.

How You Can Get a Full-Service Move with U-Haul

U-Box moving containers by U-Haul paired with Moving Help® is a fantastic and much more affordable solution for anyone looking for a hands-off move. U-Box containers are perfect for extra-large moves, small moves, or even instances when you might not be too sure where you are moving to quite yet.

Moving Help Service Providers can deliver, load up, and drop off U-Box containers at a local U-Haul center to have them stored for as long as you would like. Once you know where you're moving, all you have to do is arrange where in the country, or world, you would like your U-Box containers delivered to.

Comparing the Costs

Ultimately, the cost of a full-service move is influenced by the following factors: miles traveled, fuel, labor, and the management of relocating your belongings to where you need them.

Best Bang for Your Buck

So, how does U-Haul keep U-Box containers so affordable and accessible to millions across the United States and Canada? There are over 1,400 U-Box locations across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. Along with over 7,300 Moving Help Service Providers, this keeps the miles, labor, and management all down. This means your belongings are much closer, meaning faster delivery and faster loading and unloading for less.

Giving your information to a full-service moving website will result in countless calls and emails. When getting a quote from a traditional van line or full-service mover, you’ll have to schedule a virtual video call or have someone come into your home and analyze your belongings. U-Box quotes save you time and stress by giving you an actual, instant quote. There is no need to call or give your email when getting a quote for a U-Box container.

An Affordable Full-Service Move

Moving Help and U-Box Load/Unload services are priced in a way to give customers the best deal possible. Standard loading/unloading from Moving Help must be reserved by the hour, starting at two hours, having the total cost depending on the size of your move.

However, pricing for U-Box loading and unloading services is based on the number of U-Box containers you reserve. Moving Help Service Providers choose a rate to charge based on the loading or unloading of a single container, plus a rate for each additional unit. No matter how jam-packed your U-Box container is, you will never pay more than the price per container offered.

Leave the Driving to Someone Else

When you choose U-Box® moving and storage containers for your next move, all you have to do is coordinate getting to your new home!  Whether you are moving across town, across the country, or even internationally, you can feel confident knowing your belongings will meet you safely at your destination.

Know Your Belongings Are Safe

The use of U-Box containers gives you back control that traditional van lines simply cannot offer. When making a move with the help of a full-service van line, your items are transported with little to no supervision from you. The items inside a U-Box container are only accessible to the customer, seeing as they are locked by personal padlocks and keys.

Don’t Lift a Finger

Find affordable and reliable moving labor to help with loading and unloading of your U-Box containers with Moving Help.  Service Providers offer a variety of services for U-Box customers, from loading and unloading the containers to container delivery.
