If you would prefer to rent a U-Haul and handle your next move by yourself or with the help of friends and family, you may be wondering what size U-Haul you are going to need for a two bedroom apartment.
In this piece we will break down the different U-Haul size options and which ones are best suited for moving two bedroom apartment.
Which U-Haul Moving Truck is the best for a moving 2 Bedroom Apartment?
Uhaul offers a diverse range of vehicles that you can use to help reduce the number of trips you have to make during your move. Some options are full on moving trucks while others are your average everyday cargo van. The Uhaul size you need to help you move your two bedroom apartment is really going to come down to a few different variables. One, how much furniture and belongings do you have in your apartment and two, how far you plan on moving. In some cases if you are not moving very far, you might be able to get away with a basic cargo van which can save you money but you will spend more time loading, unloading, and making trips back and forth. If you are moving out of state or a significant distance it is imperative that you complete your move in one trip, depending on how much furniture, you may need a pretty big Uhaul moving truck.
Can you use a 10 foot Uhaul Truck to move a 2 bedroom apartment?
A 10 ft Uhaul moving truck is a great option for moving a one bedroom apartment. If you only have one couch, one bed, and maybe a dining room table and chairs, a 10 foot Uhaul truck may be able to get the job done. However, if you are trying to move a 2 bedroom apartment with a 10 foot Uhaul truck, you may run out of space pretty quickly. Unless you are open to the idea of making multiple trips, a 10 ft Uhaul moving truck isn’t going to be ideal when trying to move a two bedroom apartment.
Can you use a 15 foot Uhaul truck to move a 2 bedroom apartment?
When you use a 15 foot Uhaul truck to move a two bedroom apartment you will have significantly more space than if you use a 10 foot Uhaul truck. There is additional space above the cab of the truck called mom’s attic that can be loaded with boxes and other belongings. While there is a lot more space in the 15 foot Uhaul truck, it may not be able to handle all of your things in a single trip. You might find that you come just short on space if you have a lot of furniture like large couches or chairs. Like the 10 foot Uhaul, you may find yourself making multiple trips or trying to stuff boxes and other items in the back of your daily driver.
Can you use a 20 foot Uhaul Truck to move a 2 bedroom apartment?
The 20 ft Uhaul moving truck is the second largest vehicle that Uhaul offers. If you have relatively compact couches, chairs, tables, and beds, this Uhaul just might be able to get all of your things to their new home in a single trip. You will have to be sure to pack everything into the Uhaul in an efficient manner to be certain that everything fits. For those who have bulky couches that have a unique shape as well as large beds and box springs, it may be difficult to fit everything into even the 20 foot Uhaul moving truck. You may still find that you need multiple trips to make your move work.
Can you use a 26 foot Uhaul Truck to move a 2 bedroom apartment?
The mack daddy of all Uhaul moving trucks is the 20 ft Uhaul truck. This vehicle provides the maximum amount of space and offers more hauling ability than any other Uhaul out there. Uhaul claims that their 26 ft moving truck is capable of moving some 3-4 bedroom homes. This means that there should be plenty of space in this truck to fit all of the furniture in your 2 bedroom apartment. Be careful though. You will still need to be strategic about how you pack the truck to be certain that everything fits. Also be sure to be extra careful when driving the 26 foot Uhaul. This truck is far larger than most other vehicles on the road and it is much different than driving a normal car, truck or SUV.
