No account, no phone calls, and nothing to install. You answer three short questions and we do the rest.
- 1
Tell us about your move
Three questions: where you're going, what size truck you need, and which memberships you have. About a minute.
- 2
We test the discounts
We price the same one-way move at U-Haul, Penske, and Budget, then try every code you qualify for and keep whichever one genuinely lowers the price.

You get your comparison
U-Haul, Penske, and Budget side by side, cheapest first, with the fees and mileage each one includes and a link to book. We'll send you the link when it's ready, so there's nothing to sit and wait for.
Free tools you won't find anywhere else
Each one answers a question that's otherwise a guess: which size you need, whether your furniture actually fits, and what the drive will cost. Everything runs in your browser, with no account and nothing to install.
Truck Load Planner
Drag your real furniture into a scale floor plan of a real truck. Then switch to a bigger or smaller one and your layout comes with you, so you can see the exact point where a 15-footer runs out of room and a 20-footer doesn't.
- 15 trucks, using each company's published interior dimensions
- 80 furniture presets, or type in your own measurements
- Prints to a load sheet you can hand to whoever is helping
Truck Size Calculator
Two questions and you have your size, plus what U-Haul, Penske, and Budget each call it. Worth knowing, because the same truck is a 15-footer at one company and a 16-footer at the next.
- Bedrooms and how full your place is, nothing else to fill in
- Cargo volume and max payload for the size it lands on
- Rounds up when you're on the line between two sizes
Moving Cost Estimator
A ballpark for the rental itself, one-way or local, built on a model we show you rather than a black box. Move the distance slider and the range moves with it.
- Calibrated against real one-way prices we've collected
- Local mode prices by the day plus per-mile, the way it's billed
- Always a range, always labeled an estimate
Ballpark for a medium truck on a one-way move of 800 miles.
Fuel Cost Calculator
Fuel is the cost people forget, and on a long move it's often the second biggest line. Enter two ZIP codes and see the gallons and the dollars before you commit to the drive.
- Priced on this week's EIA retail averages for your regions
- Loaded-truck mileage by size, not the optimistic empty figure
- Distance estimated ZIP to ZIP, no account needed
Gas Prices by State
Every drivable state on one heat map, updated weekly. Trace your lane and the map highlights the states you'll cross, so you know which side of a state line to fill up on.
- All 48 drivable states, from EIA's weekly retail data
- Route tracing that prices each state you drive through
- Shows which numbers are measured and which are modeled
Moving Day Checklist
The whole rental, from booking four weeks out through handing the keys back, in the order you need it. Tick things off as you go and it remembers where you left off.
- Grouped by when it matters, not one long list
- The pickup and return steps that avoid surprise fees
- Progress saves in your browser, with nothing stored on our end
3–4 weeks before
- Measure your biggest furniture and confirm your truck size
- Reserve the truck (one-way books out fastest, so lock it in early)
- Compare one-way prices across U-Haul, Penske, and Budget
- Check whether your card or insurer already covers a rental truck
1–2 weeks before
- Pack room by room, labeling every box with room + contents
- Set aside a clearly marked "load last" essentials box
- Confirm the pickup location, time, and after-hours policy
- Reserve a furniture dolly, straps, and moving blankets
