Moving costs can add up quickly, from renting a moving truck to buying packing materials (here’s how to get free cardboard boxes). You don’t have to pay full price for everything. If you’re planning to move soon, it’s best to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal.
We’ve rounded up some of the best moving discounts we’ve found. Note that not everyone is eligible for these deals. Some may only apply to senior citizens, teachers and students, or those with specific memberships.

Everyone can get discounts
In addition to the change of address coupons you receive in the mail, you can qualify for other discounts and freebies when you move.
If you use U-Haul to rent a truck, for example, you can also get free month storage rental through a moving company. To qualify, you’ll need to rent a one-way truck or trailer. You’ll also want to make sure you’re at a participating location, so call yours nearest U-Haul locations.
Looking for coupons? Check out sites like Groupon which can show you local deals in your area.
AAA member discounts
If you are an AAA member, you have access to several moving discounts which you may not know about. Here’s what they are.
Atlas Van Lines: Get up to $100,000 in asset protection at no extra cost when you use Atlas. You may also be eligible for government rebates.
Penske: Save at least 12% on truck rentals and supplies.

Discounts for teachers and students
Teachers and students can save money when it comes to moving. Here are some of the discounts we found.

You will need to contact the company and provide proof that you are enrolled in college through your student ID. Once approved, the discount will be applied to your shipping quote.
Relocation of discounts for seniors
