A quick and easy moving truck gas calculator
Thinking about renting a moving truck for your long distance move? Then I have a great tool for you to estimate how much it will cost to fill up your moving truck – U-Pack’s moving truck gas calculator.

Click over to the calculator here and enter in the city and state you’ll be moving from and to (or the zip codes), and the gas calculator will instantly show you the extra fuel cost you would pay for a rental truck. The estimate you’ll see is based on the national average price per gallon and the average miles per gallon of a moving truck.

To get the final price for renting a moving truck and driving yourself, add the fuel costs from the calculator, along with extras like damage protection costs and sales tax to the rate to rent the truck, and that’s your final price. But don’t forget to factor in “soft costs” like snacks (jerky, chips, gum, sodas, etc.), overnight hotel stays, and meals for each day you’re on the road. I think you’ll quickly find that the overall cost to rent a moving truck one way can really add up!

A better way to move without paying for gas
As you may know, whatever the current cost of gas is on your moving day is what you’ll pay to fill up the truck. And with the fluctuating prices of gas these days, you could pay a higher cost per gallon than you expected. But when you move with U-Pack, the cost of gas is included in your quote. This means when the prices at the pump begin increasing, your U-Pack rate remains the same, and that’s one less thing to worry about. Get a free moving quote from U-Pack here and lock in your rate now.

Besides saving you money at the pump, U-Pack does all the driving for you at a rate comparable to truck rental. Does it get any better than that? You just do the loading/unloading like you normally would with a moving truck. You see, after you add up all the “extra costs” of a moving truck, you’ll see that U-Pack compares in pricing, but you don’t have to drive!  Remember, U-Pack not only includes the cost of fuel in your quote, but an experienced driver, sales tax, and standard liability coverage as well.
