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?

When I did a cross country move I used Estes Suremove because it was cheaper than a uhaul and as a plus you don’t have to drive it.
They basically drop off a semi trailer and you pay for however many feet you use after loading it yourself (or hiring your own loading help which I’d recommend since they stack things better and end up saving you money that way).
You can get an estimate ahead of time so you can know how it compares. Think it was ~$2100 for a uhaul and only $1100 doing Estes so def a bit cheaper.
Only downside is you may have to wait a week or so for your stuff to arrive.
