how well would we make out to move ourselves?

my husband is in the army and we will be moving soon from benning to polk, were not new to moving and know the army will move us, but I was just wondering if we would make out better by moving ourselves. Uhauls are fairly inexpensive, and am considering it, if it will benefit us financially. Its only about a 11 hour drive, does anyone know about what the going rate is if we were to move ourselves? thank you in advance!

    If you are close to your weight limit, you would be better off doing a DitY move. You can get about 50% of what the Army would pay someone. The drawback is, you have to do everything yourself or hire someone. It's a lot of running around to get everything done.

    Easy, let the Army do it. Moneywise, DitY.

    It is better to let them move you. We have done a DITY move and we weren't reimbursed for everything, even though we had receipts for everything we only got about 75% back.

    Your best bet would be to go to the transportation office.
