These are U-Haul’s published in-town starting day rates. They are not a booked quote and not a national move total.
Additional sourced observations are listed below and are not blended into this headline.
Published starting rate: extras that were not extracted as a national figure are omitted rather than guessed.
Moderate evidence confidence
Moderate evidence confidence is an internal CostMage evidence-quality score (62 of 100). It describes source strength and extract completeness, not the probability that a quoted figure matches your bill.
Labels: 75–100 high, 60–74 moderate, below 60 limited. The number is not a probability that the cost is correct.

What changes the cost
- Truck size
- Days
- Miles (not estimated here)
- One-way vs in-town
Methodology
Estimator is days × the published starting day rate for the selected truck size. Mileage is not estimated because no official per-mile add-on was extracted as a single national figure.
Limitations
- Starting rates, not a booked quote.
- One-way and long-distance prices differ.
- Insurance and environmental fees omitted.
Questions
Why isn’t mileage in the total?
U-Haul charges mileage, but CostMage does not have a single sourced national per-mile figure to multiply.
Is this what I will be charged at checkout?
No. It is the published starting day rate times days. Location, mileage, and fees change the booked price.
Why not add a mileage box?
U-Haul charges mileage, but CostMage did not extract a single sourced national per-mile adder.
