Safeload Coverage
Nothing is worse on moving day than having everything packed and ready to go, and while you’re loading your belongings into your truck rental, you realize you don’t have enough room. Luckily, with U-Haul, that won’t happen. U-Haul truck rentals have many options with many sizes to best serve your needs.
By selecting the right truck rental for your moving needs, you can save potentially hundreds of dollars and time because you didn’t need to make multiple trips back and forth. You can select a pickup truck, a cargo van, a 10-foot truck rental, a 15-foot U-Haul truck rental, a 20-foot truck rental, or a 26-foot U-Haul truck rental.

U-Haul Truck Features to Consider
Some U-Haul truck rentals have certain features that you might want during your move — whether for an in-town move or moving across the country.
EZ Load Ramp and Mom’s Attic: If you want the EZ Load Ramp or the Mom’s Attic, you’ll need to get a:
- 15-foot U-Haul truck
- 20-foot U-Haul truck
- 26-foot U-Haul truck
Towing compacity: Every U-Haul truck rental except for the cargo van has towing capability.
Seating: The cargo van and the 10-foot U-Haul truck rental have two adult seats. The other U-Haul truck rentals have three adult seats.
Save Money and Time When Selecting the Right Truck
Choosing the correct U-Haul truck rental or any truck rental can literally save you money and time.
If you get a truck rental that’s too small, you have to make more trips with the truck rental or your personal vehicle, which will cost you time and money. You’ll have to make more than one trip to load and unload everything.
If you get a truck rental that’s too large, you can spend too much money and time from the get-go. Plus, too large of a truck rental could cause load shift with your personal item.
They say, “Time is money.” Well, when it comes to moving, everyone values their time because they don’t want to spend their whole day — or days — loading and unloading their truck rental for a short-distance or a long-distance move.
Save yourself time and money by selecting the right U-Haul truck rental for your specific move.
What to Do When Deciding Between Two Choices?
Let’s say for example, you’re unsure whether to rent the 10-foot U-Haul truck rental or the 15-foot U-Haul truck rental after completing your research.
We recommend you rent the 15-foot truck rental. It’s better to be on the safer side to get the larger truck because it’ll be much better to have too much room than not enough room after loading your truck.
You don’t want to get the smaller size only to find out not everything will fit during moving day.
If you want a second opinion, ask a U-Haul employee. If you’re using Moving Help to assist your move by loading or unloading, you can ask for their opinion as well.
Find the Right U-Haul Truck Rental for Your Move
By knowing how many bedrooms and items you have in your home, you can decide what U-Haul truck rental is best for you. If you want certain features with your U-Haul truck rental, make sure you get that U-Haul truck rental.
Finally, it’ll be a safer bet to select a larger U-Haul truck rental size because you don’t want to run out of room when loading your truck during moving day. This also will help you avoid wasting your time along with helping you save potentially hundreds of dollars on moving day.
If you’re unsure how to best load your U-Haul truck rental, you can hire Service Providers from the Moving Help Marketplace to load and/or unload your truck rental.
