How does U-Haul work?
U-Haul offers moving trucks for local and long-distance moves. Because U-Haul has so many locations, it’s usually easy to request a truck for a last-minute move, depending on factors like your location and the time of year, such as during peak moving season.
U-Haul reservation guarantee
If your reservation was scheduled at the time of booking with confirmed equipment and a confirmed time and location, your reservation is guaranteed. However, sometimes the location, time or equipment can’t be guaranteed ahead of time. In some cases, U-Haul will pay a $50 reservation guarantee.
It can help to call your preferred U-Haul location ahead of time to check on availability and have flexible plans so you can pick up a truck at another location if necessary.
U-Haul costs
U-Haul’s local moves start at $19.95. Its rates include a flat fee for the rental period and a per-mile charge.

U-Haul moving services
U-Haul provides additional services to help renters and owners with their moves.
Insurance
U-Haul offers Safemove and Safemove Plus insurance plans.

Storage
U-Haul’s storage services include one-year price lock, climate control, business storage options, vehicle storage and portable storage. Certain U-Haul locations also offer free 30-day storage, which is a big perk most other moving companies can’t match.
