Between the scorching hot temperatures and the fact that moving can be difficult, summertime is not the most ideal season to move in. With fall just around the corner, here are the top five reasons why you should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/\">move<\/a> in the autumn season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-marta-wave-5875851.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-marta-wave-5875851.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-marta-wave-5875851-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-gustavo-fring-5888495.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54557\" width=\"282\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-gustavo-fring-5888495.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-gustavo-fring-5888495-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Fall Has the Perfect Weather <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all that comes with the stress of moving, the temperature should be your least concern. Fall is arguably the most delightful season: not too cold and not too hot. During the Autumn season you don&#8217;t have to worry about the extreme low or high temperatures unlike the other seasons. No worrying about slipping in the snow during the winter or your favorite candle melting in boxes from the heat. It is also easier to wrangle up your friends to help with your move since the, &#8220;it&#8217;s too hot out today,&#8221; excuse just won&#8217;t cut it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Out of Busy Season &amp; Into Fall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving in the fall gets you out of the busy season. This puts you at an advantage when needing to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Boxes\/\">moving supplies<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Truck-Rentals\/\">renting a truck<\/a> since there won&#8217;t be a line out the door. Trailers, trucks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Storage\/\">storage<\/a> units become easier to access and are more obtainable, giving you a wider range of options when you move. Ultimately, this gives you the flexibility to move on your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54381\" width=\"541\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/HST-4170CA601_2-2_15_Moving_Lifestyle-708.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Blog\/2022\/07\/26\/top-money-saving-tips-for-your-next-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Top-Money-Saving-Tips-For-Your-Next-Move-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54396\" width=\"208\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Top-Money-Saving-Tips-For-Your-Next-Move-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Top-Money-Saving-Tips-For-Your-Next-Move-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Top-Money-Saving-Tips-For-Your-Next-Move-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Top-Money-Saving-Tips-For-Your-Next-Move-640x960.png 640w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Top-Money-Saving-Tips-For-Your-Next-Move.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. A Cost Efficient Move <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the start of pumpkin spice, gracing the isles also comes cheaper gas prices. Since fall is the time that everyone goes back to school and vacations get put on hold, gas prices go down. Now, no matter how far you have to travel to your new home, gas will be lower which makes your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Blog\/2022\/07\/26\/top-money-saving-tips-for-your-next-move\/\">move cheaper<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Re-use Your Boxes for Halloween <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your move, you will most likely have a few boxes left over. Use your boxes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Blog\/2014\/10\/11\/diy-halloween-costumes-made-from-cardboard\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsmcm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=movinginsider&amp;utm_content=20220812-letsfaceitmovingin\">Halloween costumes<\/a> or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Blog\/2014\/10\/16\/3-easy-diy-halloween-decorations\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsmcm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=movinginsider&amp;utm_content=20220812-letsfaceitmoving\">Halloween decorations<\/a>.

Home for the Holidays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By moving in the fall you can get yourself all moved in by the holidays. You&#8217;ll be home by Christmas and you won&#8217;t have to hunt around piles of boxes for the Christmas tree. Avoiding stress from all the chaos that revolves around the holidays like, making a turkey or buying the perfect gift for your brother-in-law, goes a long way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-cottonbro-3171151-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-cottonbro-3171151-1.jpg 639w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pexels-cottonbro-3171151-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no need to wait for the summer, pack up your U-Haul this fall for the most enjoyable move yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the more moving and packing tips, follow us on our social pages on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/uhaul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uhaul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/uhaul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s face it, moving in the summer can be unbearable.
