Moving tips Get advice from the moving experts and other moving families.
Damage protection Protect yourself, passengers and your belongings during your move.
You only need to be 18 years old with a valid driver's license to rent our equipment. You do not need a commercial driver's license.
The person who signs the U-Haul contract is fully responsible for the U-Haul equipment. Be sure to ask about our damage protection programs for peace of mind.
At the dispatch location, you will have agreed to a specific location to return the equipment or you will have been provided with a phone number to call upon arrival at your destination. When you call the number, you will be directed to an appropriate location. Not all U-Haul locations are set up to receive returning equipment, so your cooperation will save you time, while helping us to route the equipment to the next family who needs it.
U-Haul has over 15,000 locations to help you with your move. In the event you experience problems: If you are still in the originating city, please call the dispatching location. If you are in any other location, our emergency road service hotline at 1-800-528-0355 is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The cargo van and pickup truck are only available for local moves. An alternative for your one-way move is the 10' truck or, if you have a towing vehicle, a trailer.
Some trailers and towing equipment may not be available because they cannot be towed by your chosen towing vehicle. Our open trailers are only available for local moves.
RoofPouches are only available in specific markets. Please call your neighborhood U-Haul location or 1-800-GO-UHAUL (1-800-468-4285) to check availability and rates and to make a reservation.
Ford Explorer owners: U-Haul has chosen not to rent behind this tow vehicle based on our history of excessive costs in defending lawsuits involving Ford Explorer towing combinations. This policy is not related to safety issues. This is an unusual circumstance for U-Haul – we have built our success for over 59 years by saying "yes" to our customers, and do not like saying "no" instead. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are committed to working with our customers to find alternative options to help with their move. Please contact 1-800-GO-UHAUL (1-800-468-4285) for assistance with alternative options.
Requirements may vary from state to state and throughout Canada. Each weigh station has a sign that says what you are required to do; just obey the signs. Normally U-Haul customers moving their own household goods are not required to stop, because this is not a commercial move. However, if a truck is over a certain weight it may be required to stop regardless of what is being carried.
This info can be found by getting an online rate quote or by calling 1-800-GO-UHAUL (1-800-468-4285).
Our Location Finder will produce a map of the locations nearest to you, along with contact information.
The one-way move rate for any U-Haul rental equipment is a predetermined dollar amount based on equipment size, point of origin, destination and the date of your move. As our customer, you receive an allowed mileage (there are no mileage restrictions for trailer rentals) and a set number of days to complete your move, included in the price.
Rental rates can change at anytime, so it is recommended that you confirm your reservation as soon as possible to lock in the rate.
Many variables go into establishing rates. There are times when more people are moving out of a city than into it. Because we want more equipment going back to that city we will often discount the rate.
Rates are not adjusted for early drop off or lower mileage. The allowed mileage and number of days given are provided to ensure adequate time and miles to complete your move safely. If you use less, it is the same price.
