Moving and storage calculator
Moving-truck cubic-foot estimator
People choosing a rental-truck class from household size. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: estimate packed volume and the published truck class that covers it. Volume and access path decide the truck or unit class. A room count is only a starting guess.
Turns bedrooms and extra large items into cubic feet and a cargo-van through 26 ft planning class. The calculator does not rank Penske and Budget Truck Rental. It produces an explainable class so Penske 16 ft truck, Budget 16 ft box truck, and Budget 26 ft box truck can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Estimate 380 cubic feet per bedroom of furniture, 200 cubic feet for a studio, plus 40 cubic feet per extra large item, then match the total to published U-Haul interior volumes. Planning notes are grounded in U-Haul. Packing density, walkways, and last-minute boxes change the needed interior.

Frequently asked questions
How does the moving-truck cubic-foot estimator work?
It converts the published inputs on this page into a planning class using a published rule. Estimate 380 cubic feet per bedroom of furniture, 200 cubic feet for a studio, plus 40 cubic feet per extra large item, then match the total to published U-Haul interior volumes. The headline is a class such as 15 ft, 764, cargo van, 10 ft, Cargo, 20 ft, 1016, and 26 ft, not a vendor ranking.
