Cheaply relocate across the country

While cross-country moves cost more than moves across town, there are budget-friendly options to get belongings to your new home. Renting a moving truck might seem like the way to go, but the initial quote won’t include fuel. Often the best choice for the cheapest cross-country move is a DIY moving company like U-Pack®.

U-Pack offers the cheapest cross-country moves

U-Pack has the experience to offer the best cross-country moving services at an affordable price. Learn more about the cost of a cross-country move.

Only pay for the space you use

When moving across the country, you’ll want enough space to move all your stuff. It’s easy with U-Pack. Reserve as many of our ReloCube® moving containers as you might need and only pay for the ones you use. The empty Cubes are picked up at no cost! Or reserve space in a moving trailer. If you use more or less space in the trailer (down to a minimum of 5 linear feet), the price will be adjusted based on the price per foot listed on the reservation.

Save money on moving labor

As a DIY moving service, U-Pack doesn’t charge for moving labor since you’ll handle the packing, loading and unloading part of the move yourself. If you do need help loading or unloading the moving equipment, we can refer you to local crews for as much help as you need.

Affordable cross-country shipping

Delivery and transportation charges are included in your U-Pack quote with no extra fees for fuel — even when you’re shipping things across the country. ABF Freight® is our primary transportation provider, and they transport several ReloCubes at once to keep costs lower. When you utilize space in a U-Pack moving trailer, commercial goods are loaded in the free space past the secured bulkhead and shipped to the same destination. This lets you save money on the overall shipment by sharing the transportation costs.
