Moving with a few bags

Submitted by tantiya22 t3_10kowxn in boston

I have to move from my old place to a new one, both within the city. I have 2 trolley bags and 3 duffle/bags to carry, that's it. Is there any economical/ideal way to move my luggage? I do not drive or have a vehicle of my own.

That's an excellent idea. I was hesitant because I heard that Uber drivers sometimes cancel the trip if they figure you are shifting your stuffs. But I think this should work for me.

If they show up and cancel on you, they get penalized in the app. UberXL is a big vehicle, if you are just moving suitcases/bags should be no problem.

​

Not saying they won't do it, but drivers who wait until they see the passenger to cancel can have various negative affects. If they have more than 5% cancel rate, they lose the ability to see upcoming trip durations before accepting a ride. They can lose other perks, and theoretically they can be completely deactivated but I suspect that's rare.

I would play roulette with UberXL in hopes of a minivan. Also, I found this compact foldable dolly to be immensely useful. So much that my parents got them each as well.
