How U-Pack works

U-Pack is a "you pack, we drive" moving service. You load your things, and U-Pack's drivers take them to your new home. There are two ways to do it:

Moving trailer

A 28 ft trailer is dropped at your home. You load it, U-Pack puts up a bulkhead behind your things, and you pay for the linear feet you use, with a 5 or 10 ft minimum depending on the route. Best for larger homes.

ReloCube

A lockable container about 7 ft wide, 6′3″ deep and 8′4″ tall that fits in a parking space. Each one holds roughly a studio's worth of things, and U-Pack's quote tool offers up to three. Best for small moves.

How much space do you need?

How we estimate U-Pack prices

  • 160 real quotes on 40 routes. In October 2026 we priced trailer and ReloCube moves on upack.com across short, regional and cross-country routes in every part of the lower 48.
  • Quoted routes: ±5%. When your move starts and ends in the same areas as one of our routes, you see that real price. Re-quoting the same route moved prices by up to about 5%.
  • Other routes: ±15%. Everywhere else we use a model built from those quotes, based on distance and the regions you move between.
  • Your date matters. On routes we re-quoted for mid-December, prices ranged from 19% lower to 37% higher than late October.
  • Not included: taxes, optional extras and seasonal promotions. U-Pack's own quote is the final word.

U-Pack vs renting a truck

  • No driving. U-Pack drives the trailer or cubes; with a rental truck you drive it yourself, often for several days.
  • Fuel and hotels are on you with a truck. On long moves, gas or diesel, tolls and nights on the road can add hundreds of dollars.
  • Time to load. U-Pack gives you a few days to load and unload; a one-way rental truck has a fixed number of rental days.
