THE POWER MOVE
Our University Heights movers do the heavy lifting
You just rent the truck
U-Haul has 23,000+ locations across the US, and most customers in University Heights are within 5 miles of one. Any truck up to 26 foot runs on a standard driver's license, with no CDL or commercial license required.
What driving one actually feels like
- You sit higher than any SUV. You can see the full road ahead and every lane.
- No minimum speed. Go 45 mph the whole way. Take every exit slowly. No one cares.
- You'll need one new skill: turn wide at intersections. Otherwise, it's pretty simple.
- Pick up on your phone via U-Haul's Truck Share 24/7, with no counter, no paperwork, no wait.
“I was genuinely scared, until I started driving it. Just slow down, take the foot off the gas before going downhill, brake slowly, don't hug the curb while turning.” From a first-time mover.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
What to know about moving in University Heights
University Heights sits right next to the University of South Carolina in Columbia, so it runs on the USC calendar: move volume spikes every August and May as students and young professionals turn over the older homes and rental houses near campus. Streets here are tight and parking is limited, and Five Points and the Vista are a short hop away. Book early for USC move-in weekends, and send any landlord or HOA move-in rules when you schedule so the crew arrives ready.
Peak season
May, June, July, August
Weekend slots fill 2–3 weeks out during peak months. Book early.
Crew recruited from University of South Carolina, university-affiliated, background-checked, accountable.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked about University Heights moves
How much does it cost to move in University Heights?
Every move is priced by the hour. The rate is locked before we start, with no stair fees, fuel surcharges, or hidden add-ons. Two movers run $112 per hour, and most moves run $200–$350 total for a 2-person crew over 2 to 3 hours. Larger homes that need a third mover or more hours run higher, with the rate locked before we start. Truck rental is separate if you need one. If we finish early, you pay less.
Do I need to provide a truck?
We're labor-only movers. You rent the truck from U-Haul, Penske, or Budget. We handle all the loading, unloading, and heavy lifting. We'll tell you the exact size to get and can book it for you if you want.
Is there anything your movers won't move?
Especially heavy or bulky safes and pianos are best left to movers who specialize in those items. Keyboards, obviously, aren't an issue. Gun safes and firearms are best left to you. Contractually, our movers won't touch them.

Are your movers background-checked?
Yes. Every Undergrads mover is a background-checked university student. They work under their real names, connected to their university email.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Undergrads is a fully licensed and insured moving company in every market we serve, including University Heights. Every move includes $1,000 in damage protection.
