U-Haul Loading Help Aurora: How Many Helpers Do I Need?
Pick your crew by home size, stairs and heavy items. Rates are hourly with a 2-hour minimum, so you pay for the time the crew works.
Most studio to 2-bedroom homes need 2 helpers ($149/hr) for about 2 to 4 hours. A 3-bedroom usually needs 3 helpers ($199/hr) for 4 to 6 hours, and a 4-bedroom or larger needs 4 helpers ($269/hr) for 5 to 8 hours. Add a helper for several flights of stairs or items over 300 lb.

Tell us about the job and the office will suggest the right service and crew. A person reads every request.
Does a bigger crew cost more in total?
Not always. A bigger crew costs more per hour but usually finishes sooner, so the total can stay close. The office suggests a crew size when you book.
What adds time to a U-Haul load?
Stairs, long walks from the door to the truck, boxes that are not packed yet and furniture that still needs taking apart. Stairs are $20 per flight after the first.
What size truck should I rent?
Studio: a 10 ft truck or a small container. 1-bedroom: 10 to 15 ft. 2-bedroom: 15 to 20 ft. 3-bedroom: 20 to 26 ft. 4-bedroom or more: a 26 ft truck, or a truck plus a trailer or container.
How is mileage charged?
$1 per round-trip mile from our Aurora base (80017) to your address and back. The hourly clock starts when the crew arrives.
