We (two people) are moving from the west coast USA to the east coast soon. I’m looking for ideas on how to do this as cheaply as possible. Renting a uhaul looks like about $5k before gas costs. Seems like a lot. Anyone have creative ideas?

    Look at Enterprise. It seems like their truck rentals charge by mile, but they also sell regular passenger vans with the seats removed that are the same dimensions as a uhaul. Passenger cars don’t have a mileage charge.

      That’s a good call. I didn’t think about renting a van. Really even buying something that I could sell afterwards might make sense too.
