How Much Does a U-Pack Moving Trailer Cost?

What can you expect to pay for space in a U-Pack trailer? 

No one wants to pay more than they have to when moving out of state. That’s why one of the first questions people ask when considering a moving service is “How much does it cost?” It can be frustrating when the answer is “It depends.”  

If you’re considering a flexible moving solution, like a U-Pack® moving trailer, it’s helpful to have a price range to know what to expect.

How U-Pack figures trailer rates

Moving company costs can vary based on several factors, like weight of the shipment, equipment type and distance. U-Pack pricing is customized for each move based on the space you use in the trailer, not the weight.

Trailer space measurement

U-Pack trailers have 28 linear feet of space for belongings. We’ll provide a quote based on the size of your home, but you aren’t locked into it. You can use the whole trailer if needed (typically for a 3–4-bedroom home) or as little as the minimum of 5 linear feet (standard for a studio apartment). 

You’ll only pay for the space you use. It’s easy to keep track of the price based on the per-foot rate listed on the reservation. For example, a reservation for 15 linear feet with a $200 per-foot rate means you’ll save $200 if you use only 14 feet and pay $200 more for 16 feet.
