Military Moving Discounts

Finding the best moving discounts for active-duty military and veterans

Many companies, including U-Pack®, offer discounts for military members who are planning a move to a new duty station or a transition to civilian life.

But finding the biggest discount isn't the only way to lower the cost of a military move. With the right moving service, you can stretch your PPM reimbursement further and keep more money in your pocket.

Let’s look at the military moving discounts available from U-Pack, plus savings you can use on things like packing supplies, hotels and travel.

U-Pack military moving discount codes 

U-Pack’s military moving services are designed to make things easy and affordable, and we also offer additional discounts to thank service members. 

Active-duty military can use the code DITY10 for $100 off their move. Veterans can use the code MIL50 for a $50 discount. 

Use this DITY moving calculator to help figure out your costs and savings. And check out this guide to paying for a military move if you have questions about your options.

What other movers offer coupons for the military?

Many portable storage and rental truck companies offer coupons for a percentage off the rental rate. You’ll still pay full price for fuel and additional fees, like damage protection or roadside assistance, when applicable. 

Typically, you’ll get a better rate with U-Pack, even after the discounts are applied. Learn more about these U-Pack competitors to help you compare rates for your military move.
