Great for studios, small 1-bedroom moves, or light movers with fewer boxes.

15 ft Truck

Works for most 1–2 bedroom moves with standard furniture and 30–50 boxes.

20 ft Truck

Good for 2–3 bedrooms, extra furniture, and heavier packers.

26 ft Truck

Best for full homes, long-distance moves, or when you’d rather be a little oversized.

Common Moving Truck Size Questions

Q: Is PODS cheaper than U-Haul?
PODS can be cheaper for long-distance or flexible moves, while U-Haul often costs less for short, local moves. The right choice depends on distance, timing, and how much space you actually need.

Q: What does 300 cubic feet mean for a moving truck?
300 cubic feet is roughly the space needed for a studio apartment or small one-bedroom with minimal furniture. Larger furniture or loose packing can increase the size needed.

Q: Why do people overpay for moving trucks?
Most people overestimate how much space they need and rent a larger truck “just in case.” That often leads to higher rental costs, fuel expenses, and difficulty parking.

Q: Should I size up or size down?
If your estimate is close, sizing up offers more flexibility but costs more. Sizing down saves money but requires careful packing. This calculator helps find the balance.
