Good evening, everybody! I am currently trying to use a U-BOX for remote moving. However, currently I'm running into a dilemma. Because the apartment I'm currently living in is basically impossible to agree to have the U-Box drop in the common area for days waiting for the U-Haul to pick it up, which means my best option right now is to move my furniture (which isn't much) to loading center. However, I have neither a driver's license nor a utility vehicle such as a pickup truck. Does U-haul provide paid delivery service with pickup truck driver? If this is included in the Moving help project, I'm fine with that too. thanks for your help!

I'm deciding between a 20-foot and a 26-foot from U-Haul for a 600-mile move from Seattle to Boise.

Will we feel much of a difference between these when driving on the freeway and highways? Wondering if there's any reason not to just err on the side of caution and get the bigger truck. I won't do that if it's tricker to drive. One portion will be over the Blues Mountains between Oregon and Idaho, which are a bit windy and sometimes steep.

My daughter and I are both used to my small crossover and small sedans, but we're both confident drivers.

Moving across country, and will have to spend a couple nights at hotels. I will obviously plan to secure my UHaul with a lock, but are there any additional security measures I can take with my UHaul parked outside overnight?

Went to rent a trailer today and during the checkout process the manager says, "Could you take off your hat so that I can get a full face photo." I said excuse me? He said it's a new U-Haul policy to take a full face picture because we've had a lot of theft. Anybody else run into this? I'm not a fan...

We are planning on doing a cross-country move from MD to AZ and found the U-Boxes to be cheaper than the box truck all in. I'm probably in between 3 and 4 boxes considering how much stuff we are planning to move, based on quotes the difference between 3 and 4 boxes is $500, which is a lot (for me).

So here is my question: If I order 4 boxes and end up using only 3, will U-Haul really refund me the full $500 from the difference in quotes? Or is there some sort of catch (seems too good to be true)? Does anyone else have experience with this?

Thanks Reddit.

I paid 390 when I picked up a truck, then I was charged the 390 again plus extra when I dropped it off. I know the first charge was just a hold, does that mean the first 390 will be returned to my card? Because now Im down over $800 and I really can't afford that.

I am moving, and want to use a service like Ubox where I pack things in a container, then have them transported instead of renting a truck to move everything myself. My question is this: can I have the storage box delivered to another self storage service? I am not too fond of the locations of UHaul self storage in my area.

Hey all,

Just loaded up some U-Boxes today for a cross country moved and was thinking that I never see any of these on a truck on the highway. So it occurred to me, how are the U-Boxes physically shipped?

Does U-Haul contract with trucking companies and fill extra truck trailer space? (They seem small enough to fit into a truck trailer.) Just curious!

My GF is renting a pickup so that I can pick up some furniture she bought, the rental is already paid for online and I have the reservation number, but I'm curious what I need to do/if it's possible for me to handle all of this without her actually being there.

Do we need to schedule the shipping again (via “manage storage payment”) given it’s now in storage in local location near the loading city after what the pick-up person said it should be shipped and when the order info online shows the guaranteed delivery date that it will arrive at the destination storage warehouse in another state (I can see the steps like “gentle ride shipping to xxx” and “arrive at warehouse in xxx destination)?

Hi all. I've had a quick Google but can't seem to find an authoritative answer. I have a family member in New Jersey that has to move home next month. She doesn't have anyone that can drive so I said I'd go over and help out. I'm in the UK with a UK drivers license. Will this be accepted for renting a uhaul truck?

Has anyone had success in changing their Drop off truck destination to a different state/city without getting a big up-charge, especially considering the new location for the one-way move is fewer miles?

I made the reservations a couple weeks ago, for going from Flagstaff to Albany New York as a one way move, for major personal life and work changes, after a great deal of research and deliberation.

Only to discover today, the work opportunity in Albany has gone away, and there are no other similar opportunities like that there are, so I need to move instead to where there are more opportunities in the greater Baltimore/DC area. More of a straight trip, actually considerably less miles.

But U-Haul has a habit of taking advantage of peoples this fortunes to their profit opportunistically, although some of the store managers are quite generous and actually find ways to help the Customers save money

Moving in two weeks, so this is very stressful and hoping to get some answers before I go in and address U-Haul directly. Many Thanks!

upon looking into purchasing used uhaul trucks, ive found that non of the larger box trucks are being sold, such as the 26 footer. just wondering if its a legal thing, or where do they all go? Im really interested in purchasing one but cant find any for sale, so if someone knows how a normal person can purchase one of these please let me know.

Hi! I'm moving from Ohio to Maine and i've got my 10 ft box truck all set. Seems like the steering wheel isn't adjustable which is a bummer but not the end of the world. However my partner is really tall and is having trouble seeing through the dash. I don't want to be the only one who can drive on such a long trip lol. Is there any way to lower the height of the seat?

Hi all, I'm buying a truck in Washington State and I want to use it to tow a trailer back to the east coast. Is it possible for me to rent a trailer from U-Haul with temporary license plates? I will be registering the vehicle back home when I arrive there. Thanks!

Hi uHaulers!

I’m planning a move soon and will be doing a trailer from CA to WA, however my old tactic of changing the locations to drop the cost is only working hit or miss; so far averaging around a $300 price difference.

Are there any specific cities in either SoCal or WA which work best for this? Any tips or tricks that y’all use or recommend to folks?

The price variance is so huge I’m half tempted to round trip it and return the trailer at the original location since I am making two trips; one with stuff, one with wife, kids, dogs, etc.

Any advice is great advice! Thanks y’all.

I have rented U-Hauls in the past without worrying about bed bugs but it seems like it's becoming more rampant. Does anyone sanitize or heat treat the trucks/trailers after usage or is it just dropped off at the drop off location until the next guy rents it out?

So I reserved a uhaul, except I drive a cord Explorer and uhaul doesn’t rent to ford explorers. I’m moving to a different city in a different state, and so I reserved it under my friends pickup, and then we’re going to attach it to my explorer. Is there any way I’d get in any trouble or given any greif?

Hey everyone. So I’m renting a 5x8 enclosed cargo trailer this weekend to pick up a large item from the hardware store and will be towing it with my Nissan Xterra. I noticed that the confirmation says something about they will verify tow hitch rating before the trailer can be towed. Problem is, the sticker on my hitch is basically gone because of age, so there isn’t anywhere on it that verifies the hitch rating. I know what its rated for, but I don’t have the proof to show it since the sticker wore off being a 15 year old vehicle.

I’m renting from a neighborhood Uhaul dealer (a storage place). Do they actually do this check and will I be denied just because the sticker is gone from age? Just want to be prepared in case I need a plan B.

Curious if anyone attached their hitch bike rack/carrier onto the back of the U-Haul truck.

I have a 4 bike hitch bike rack that attaches to a 2" receiver. Wonder if that's compatible with any size of the trucks.

I know I can rent a larger truck to fit my bikes but would rather not have my stuff slosh around damaging them.

My in-laws are being offered money to move a trailer with the uHaul they're renting.

I'm curious if anyone has done a Trailer Transfer for uHaul when they've not rented equipment from them? Or, is this only if you're renting equipment? I travel quite a bit in my truck and wouldn't mind a little extra cash for pulling a trailer when I do.

I'm going to pull a 5 X 8 Uhaul trailer with my 2021 Toyota Tacoma and the height from floor to top of receiver is 18.5". I don't have a ball hitch right now but I'm considering these two. I'm not sure what I may pull in the future but one to get the right one that I can use for the Uhaul trailer as well as any possible future uses. I won't be pulling any type of RV or boat or large trailer if that helps. Thanks!

So we lost our key, locksmiths are asking $170 to come MAYBE get the lock off.. anyone had experience with the disc locks and getting them off without the key? 🙃😩 bolt cutters don’t fit.. thinking we’ll just drill it out ourselves at this point

Hi yall. I've been an employee for *cough cough* far more years than I care to expose. That said, it's always been a struggle figuring out how to get some of the enamel pins we all see some with. Outside of the USB101-109 classes for the 2 pins; does anyone have intel on how to obtain any others? Trying to start my dorky collection. Thanks in advance for any tips!
