We're renting a uhaul. Half the price of a moving company from AB to CO.

Depends how far you're going. I'm going from Ottawa to California, and don't want to drive all that way, so am considering Uhaul from Ottawa to Watertown NY where they have a Upack depot. Then, Upack to California.

I went with http://www.upack.com/moving-services/moving-container.asp

and got a cube. Kind of depends how much stuff you have and how far you need to go. I only had a 1 bedroom apartment and it all fit in the cube. I moved last year and figured out it was cheaper to go this way for me and fly down, vancouver to california, than uhauling it because of gas + driving time. Also upack gets cheaper if you can get your stuff from their lot vs them parking it at your house and moving during the week.

Though, if you go with your stuff unattended, you will need to fill out customs forms for unaccompanied goods.

I rarely find "cheap" and "reliable" go together very well ;)

But like others have said, it all depends on where you're goign and what you're comfortable with. I only have a 5 hour drive so we're doing a one-way with Penske.
