United Van Lines (Full-service interstate) review 2026
The largest van line in the country, with a binding estimate after a video survey, full-value protection and a tracked delivery window
Is the United Van Lines Worth It?
Best full-service mover. United is what a full-service move should look like: a survey, a binding price, real protection and someone to call. It is the expensive way to move, and for a family with a house full of furniture it is the least stressful one.
United Van Lines Pros & Cons
- Binding estimate delivered within a day of the video survey
- Full-value protection quoted as standard
- Agent network covers every state; corporate and military moves
- Online tracking and a named coordinator
- $5,800 for our sample move — top of the range
- Delivery window rather than a date
- Local agent quality varies; check the agent's own reviews
