U-Haul U-Box
U-Haul U-Box is a moving container company that provides flexibility and affordability for those looking to relocate. With easy access to U-Haul’s nationwide locations, availability is a significant strength for U-Box. The company has over 20,000 locations, providing easy access to U-Box containers in all 50 states, North America, and international ports.
U-Box containers are available for both local moves and long-term storage, and U-Haul’s reputation and expertise as a moving company back them. Additionally, U-Haul provides full-service moving and packing at thousands of locations nationwide. The U-Box is approximately 8’ x 5’ x 7’6” and is a plywood box wrapped in a plastic tarp. Users can pack their items themselves or hire U-Haul movers to pack them at their convenience.
Pricing for U-Box is based on a per-container basis, with each container fitting approximately 1.5 to three rooms. For example, a one-bedroom apartment move from San Diego to Austin, TX, scheduled three months in advance, would cost $2,273.90.
While U-Box has many benefits, such as being a well-known brand with locations nationwide, the ability to transport containers anywhere, and competitive pricing, there are some cons. Containers come in only one size, and they are relatively lightweight and not made of the most durable materials. And most notably, U-Haul’s customer service could be not very good at times. Wait times can be lengthy, leaving customers frustrated.
In conclusion, U-Haul U-Box provides an affordable and flexible way to relocate, with an extensive network of locations and shipping options. However, users should keep in mind the trade-off: low prices come with below-average customer service.
