The Packed Rabbit

What size moving truck do I need?

Start from your home, then change the counts to match what you own. The truck fills as you go.

The app adds each box as you pack it and each piece of furniture you measure, then shows the truck filling on move day as the crew loads. No account, and it works with no signal.

How this works

Each item has a typical size in cubic feet. They're added up, then 15 percent is added, because chair legs, table tops and odd shapes leave gaps nobody can pack. The answer is the smallest common rental truck that holds the total.

Capacities vary a little between rental companies, so check the exact number for the truck you book. If you're within about 10 percent of a truck's limit, take the next size up: a second trip costs more than the bigger truck. The largest trucks need room to park and turn at both ends.
