I moved from CA to IN last year and found that the cheapest way was to buy a 24' cargo trailer and tow it with my truck. I guess the next best way would have been to rent a moving truck (U-Haul or the like), but that was about twice the cost...plus I was able to sell the trailer when i arrived, thus making the move for almost nothing. It really does depend on how much stuff you have or need to move.

* If you have a truck, renting a trailer is often the cheapest method, but you'll need to pack it yourself and consider the cost of gas and wear and tear on your truck.

* Hiring a moving company is also an option, one that can be quite expensive if you don't do your research (check out movingscams.com for reviews on moving companies.)The obvious benefit here is you do very little work yourself.

* Renting a Uhaul truck is also an option, one that canbe affordable. Again, gas can be very expensive and if you need a large truck, you need to be comfortable driving such truck. You'll be packing it yourself. You'll also have to figure out how to get your car to your destination. * Have you considering renting moving pods? These are portable moving containers that are dropped off at your house. You pack them at your own pace and once done, the moving pods company picks them up and delivers them to your destination. You get the benefits of "self-storage" so-to-speak as well as cost savings. Nor do you have to worry about the wear and tear on your own car.
