 ## How do U-Haul truck sizes measure up for long-distance moves?

Moving out of state with a U-Haul® truck can get complicated fast if you’re unsure what size to rent. You don’t want to pay for too much space or get one too small to hold your stuff.

Let’s review the U-Haul truck sizes available and the size homes they’re recommended for. We’ll also compare them to the options you get with U-Pack®, a simpler alternative for DIY long-distance moves.

  ## What size U-Haul truck do I need? 

Like most moving companies, U-Haul makes equipment suggestions based on the size of your home. If your home is heavily furnished, contains oversized furniture or has extra space to pack (attics, basements, garages, sheds, storage units, etc.), you might need a larger truck.

If your furnishings are sparse, you could get by with a smaller truck. When you choose a rental truck, there's a chance of over- or underestimating the space needed to move your belongings. Learn more about selecting [what size moving truck to rent](https://www.upack.com/articles/what-moving-truck-size-do-i-need).

## Skip the guessing (and driving)

If you’re overwhelmed by all the U-Haul truck options, you’re not alone. Even if you choose a size that fits all your belongings, you'll still be responsible for [driving a rental truck](https://www.upack.com/articles/how-to-drive-a-moving-truck) for hundreds or thousands of miles. That means navigating unfamiliar roads while handling a bulky truck and stopping often for gas due to low fuel efficiency.

For an easier alternative, U-Pack offers flexible, affordable moving solutions that let you travel without driving the equipment. We offer two options for long-distance moves: moving trailers and ReloCube® moving containers.

Like U-Haul, U-Pack quotes are based on the size of your home, but our space is flexible, and you only pay for what you use. If you need more or less space in our 28-foot moving trailer, you can use it (down to a minimum of 5 linear feet). If you order too many ReloCubes, the empty containers are picked up at no charge. It won’t be as easy to exchange a rental truck for a different size!
