Most 1-bedroom apartments fit in a 10–15 ft truck, but it depends on how much furniture and how many boxes you have. Use the estimator for a more exact fit.

A 15-foot or 20-foot truck is usually ideal for a 2-bedroom apartment. If you have minimal furniture, a 15-footer may work. For bulkier items or lots of boxes, go with a 20-foot truck for extra room and easier loading.

Yes. Many moving companies provide estimates by square footage. For example, 500–700 sq ft may need a 10-foot truck, while 1,100–1,400 sq ft may require a 20–26-foot truck. Our calculator helps match square footage and inventory for a more accurate recommendation.

A general rule is 10–15 boxes per room, but our calculator helps you visualize how they add up in cubic feet.

Yes. Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, the space estimate still applies.

It can! Just enter your desks, chairs, and equipment like you would for a home.

The 15- and 20-foot trucks are most common for medium-sized moves, but it all depends on your load. That’s why estimating volume helps.

Cubic footage is the total space your items take up. Moving trucks are measured by this volume, so it’s key to choosing the right size.

A 15-foot moving truck typically holds between 650 and 850 cubic feet of space, depending on the brand (like U-Haul or Penske). This size works well for 1–2 bedrooms or small homes.

If your estimate is close to the max volume for a truck size, it’s safer to size up. It’s better to have extra room than not enough.

Yes, but only for very small moves. Cargo vans usually hold around 250–300 cubic feet. They’re ideal for studios, single-room moves, or a few large items, but not for full apartments or houses.

Not usually. While smaller trucks have lower daily rates, you may end up spending more on fuel, mileage fees, and time. One properly sized truck is often more efficient and cost-effective than multiple trips.
