Long-Distance FAQs
What’s considered a long-distance 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.
What’s the best way to move across the country?
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 best 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 cheaper.
For many people, the best way to move to another state is with a hybrid solution like U-Pack. 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.
How much can I expect to spend and how can I save money?
Cross-country moving costs come with a wide price range, depending on the type of service you use, how much stuff you have and when you’re moving. Truck rental rates can be a few thousand dollars, while full service can cost $15,000+. U-Pack prices are often comparable to truck rental (plus the cost of fuel), but with the convenience of not having to drive.

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 to secure 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.
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.
