How to Save More Than Just a U-Haul Discount
If you're moving, you've probably discovered that there are a quite a few costs here and there— and unfortunately, they add up quickly. And unless your name is Donald Trump, you're probably like the rest of us and want/need to save as much as possible on your move.  So before you decide to try out a U-Haul discount code, it's a good idea to research other self-move options that could wind up saving you more than even the best U-Haul prices. 

What costs should I expect?
Moving can involve expenses such as house closing costs, cleaning and repair fees, and then (of course) the actual moving company rate. What usually gets left out of the budget, however, are the ’soft costs' associated with opting to drive a rental truck. Keep in mind that U-Haul prices don't include the fuel cost, road tolls, or liability/insurance. In addition, you'll have to factor in extra meals on the road and more frequent hotel stays— travel in a rental truck is significantly slower than usual due to maximum speed and safety recommendations. Since a U-Haul coupon code won't cover those expenses, it's a good possibility you'll have to re-adjust your moving budget (not something you want to worry about in the fray of moving!).

So if I decline a U-Haul discount, what's the alternative?
Before cashing in a U-Haul discount code, get a free moving quote from U-Pack. U-Pack rates are actually comparable to U-Haul prices, and we do the driving. Your U-Pack quote already includes the fuel, taxes, road tolls, fees, and the driver. Even with a U-Haul coupon code, you'll still have to tack on those extras before you can compare the bottom line. When it comes to maximizing your moving budget, it's worth the research to explore your options!
