We come back to pick up your containers whenever you’re ready – whether that is in a day or a month. ·         Full-Service Delivery & Load – Moving Help service providers are professional, customer-rated providers who bring the container, pack it with your belongings and return it to your neighborhood U-Haul facility for storage or shipping. ·         Self-Delivery – Tow your U-Box container to your place and load at your convenience, using a specially designed trailer. Don’t have a vehicle capable of towing? That’s no problem. Rent one of our pickup trucks to tow the trailer. ·         Access at U-Haul location – Bring your belongings to one of our locations and load your containers there, free of charge.

U-Box storage and moving containers are made exclusively for U-Haul. Each U-Box container is made of premium, pest-resistant plywood, which provides your belongings with a stable and chemical free environment for storage and transit. This is especially important if you have wooden furniture. Our U-Box containers breathe much better than steel containers reducing the chance for mold and mildew. Each container is also covered with a highly durable, weather-resistant cover when delivered.

You can use our estimator tool to get an idea of how many U-Box containers you will need. You can then get a quote from our online reservation system. If you end up getting more containers than you need, we will be happy to pick up the unused U-Box containers and credit you the full cost. You’ll never be charged for U-Box containers you don’t use.

The internal dimensions of our moving containers are approximately 4’8” (56") wide x 7’11” (95") long x 6’11 ½" (83.5”) high. Capacity is 257 cubic feet, holding up to 2,000lbs. On the outside, each U-Box container is 5’ (60”) wide x 8’ (96”) long x 7.5’ (90”) high. Each portable storage container has a large door for easy access and will typically accommodate an average room to a room and a half of household goods and furniture.

The cost of a U-Box move varies depending on your needs. U-Box reservations can be made for storage or moving in-town, or to move one-way across the country. The fees you can expect include a monthly rental rate for the container, which varies by market. It will be charged each month until you have moved out of your containers. This rate is the same whether the container is stored on your property, in a U-Haul facility, or shipped across the country. If you are doing a long-distance move, you can expect a shipping charge, which is based on the specific areas you are moving to and from.

U-Haul makes payments simple. When you make the reservation, we will collect your credit card information to hold your reservation. Nothing is due at the time of reservation unless you have selected Moving Help® labor services. You will be charged the first month’s rent and delivery charge on the morning of the delivery. Every month thereafter, on the same day, we will charge your credit card with the monthly rent. If you are moving one-way, we charge shipping five days prior to your shipment arrival date. Any delivery charges will be charged to your card the morning of the delivery at your destination.

Your free, online quote includes the entire cost of your move, including: ·         Monthly storage (monthly fee to store your U-Box containers on your property or in our secure facility). · Delivery to and from your home (home delivery fee where applicable). · Shipping your container (when shipping from one location to another). You won't have to worry about unexpected costs like fuel, hotel stays, extra driving time, etc. Using U-Box containers provides the convenience of knowing you can leave your items with us until you're ready.

U-Box is a portable moving and storage solution. U-Box containers are perfect if you need extra time with your move or need storage where you are living now or where you are moving to.
