HOW IT WORKS
We bring the muscle. You drive the truck.
Undergrads provides background-checked university-student moving crews who load, carry, and unload everything you own. You rent the truck, or we book it for you. Either way, your rate is locked before we start.
Most customers save $300–$800 compared to a traditional full-service mover.
$5 to reserve · pay after the move · $50 backed on every booking

THE PROCESS
From booking to done. Five steps.
Most customers go from first visit to confirmed booking in under 10 minutes.
Book online in 60 seconds
Pick your move date, home size, and estimated hours. A $5 deposit locks your slot. You pay the rest after the move is done.
Rent a truck, or let us handle it
We'll tell you exactly what size to get based on your home. UHaul, Penske, or Budget all work. Or add truck rental to your Undergrads booking and we reserve it for you.
Not sure what size? A 1BR apartment fits a 10–15 ft truck. A 2BR fits a 15–20 ft. We'll confirm when you book.
We confirm within 24 hours
Your crew is assigned and your move is locked in. If anything changes on your end, call us. Same-week scheduling adjustments are available most of the year.
Crew arrives. We're confident enough to put $50 on it
Background-checked university-student movers show up within your window. We back that confidence with $50 on every booking. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, let us know and $50 comes off your final bill.
We handle everything. You drive.
We load every box, wrap every piece of furniture, navigate every stairwell and elevator. You follow in the truck. At your new place, we unload and place everything where you want it.
Stairs, elevators, tight hallways.
We navigate it all so you don't have to.
$5 to reserve. Pay after the move.
Reserve for $5, pay after the move, and cancel anytime up to 48 hours before.
THE MATH
Why this saves you money
Traditional full-service movers bundle the truck, the driver, and the crew into one high rate. We charge for the crew only and you rent the truck separately, which is why the math usually comes out in our favor.
Traditional full-service mover
Crew + truck + driver + fuel surcharges, bundled. Final bill often higher than the estimate.
Estimates vary widely. Hidden fees common.
Undergrads crew rate
What you pay us, locked upfront. Truck rental is separate (typically $80–$180, paid directly to U-Haul or Penske).
Crew rate only. No stair fees, fuel surcharges, or add-ons.
Ranges reflect typical local moves (under 50 miles). Exact crew rate depends on home size and hours. Get your exact quote →
COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you want to know
What size truck do I need?
For a studio or 1BR apartment, a 10–15 ft truck is typically right. A 2BR needs 15–20 ft. A 3BR house usually needs 20–26 ft. When you book, tell us your home size and we'll confirm the exact right truck, so you're not over-paying for a truck that's too big or under-packing a truck that's too small.
Can you book the truck for me?
Yes. Add truck rental when you book and we'll reserve the right size at a nearby UHaul or Penske location. One booking, one payment, nothing to coordinate. We've done this enough times to know which locations are easiest to navigate on move day.
I've never driven a moving truck. Is that a problem?
It's more common than you'd think. A 10–15 ft truck drives like a large SUV, wider, but not much different. We'll recommend a pickup location near your current place to minimize drive time. Most customers who've never driven one before say it wasn't an issue.
Does the Show-Up Guarantee still apply?
Yes. And the confidence behind it is the same. We back every move with $50. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, let us know and we'll knock $50 off your final bill.
What exactly does the crew handle?
Everything except the driving. Loading every item, wrapping furniture in moving blankets, navigating stairs and elevators, placing items in your new space. Assembly and disassembly of standard furniture (bed frames, desks) is included. Ask when you book if you have specialty items.
What if I want a traditional full-service move with a driver?
Call us at (864) 256-1166. We can often arrange full-service moves depending on the market and timing. Most customers find our model saves $300–$800 and is simpler than it sounds. We'll help you figure out what makes sense.
