Moving truck planning

What size moving truck do I need?

Estimate space, payload, and large-item fit across major rental providers.

Quick start

Calculator

Moving truck size calculator

Start from a home size, adjust quantities, then compare U-Haul, Penske, and Budget.

Step 1 · Start your inventory

Treat every quantity as an editable starting point. Add, remove, or change counts to match what you actually own before trusting a truck size.

Product-authored editable starter inventories for Studio/1BR/2BR/3BR/4BR × Light/Average/Full. Built from the calculator’s standard item list; not an industry standard, quote basis, or loading guarantee.

Transparent by design

Ranges, sources, and uncertainty stay visible.

Recommendations separate official vehicle specifications from planning assumptions. Missing rear-door data stays unknown. Large full homes may need multiple trips or two trucks — the calculator will say so instead of forcing a 26-foot recommendation.
