Long-distance & cross-country moving FAQs
What’s considered a long-distance or cross-country move?
If you’re moving more than 100 miles across state lines, you’re moving long distance! Long-distance moves are also referred to as interstate moves.
Cross-country moves are a type of long-distance move, and usually mean someone is moving coast-to-coast or across multiple states.
What’s the best way to move to another state?
The right moving solution for you will depend on two main things: how much work you want to handle and your budget.
Full-service companies are good if you want the least amount of physical work, but they come with the highest prices. Rental trucks require the most work but are typically a cheaper option.
For many people, U-Pack is the best way to move to another state. You’re able to save money by doing the packing and loading, but you’re free to travel in your own vehicle while professional drivers get your belongings to your new home.
When should I book?
It’s best to get on a mover’s schedule as soon as you have a move date in mind. This helps lock in pricing and equipment, so you know what to expect.
Learn more about when to book a move.
How much can I expect to spend?
Moving comes with a wide price range that depends on the service you use, how far you’re moving, etc. Truck rental rates for a cross-country move can be a few thousand dollars, while full service can cost $15,000+.
U-Pack prices are often similar to truck rental (plus the cost of fuel), and come with the convenience of not having to drive a bulky truck across the country.
Learn what goes into long-distance prices and how U-Pack pricing works.
How can I save money?
You can save money on a long-distance move by paying only for the space and services you need. U-Pack helps keep costs down with our “pay for the space you use” pricing, no required deposits and the ability to add storage or moving labor as needed. You can also save by decluttering before the move and being flexible with moving dates.

Do I need to pay a deposit for a state-to-state move?
The need for a deposit depends on the type of service you use. Full-service companies typically require a deposit for the equipment, while rental trucks may place a hold on your card.
U-Pack does not charge a deposit, and you won’t pay until items are in transit.
