Question

Answer 1

I can't give you an exact figure because I don't know what cities you are moving to and from.  The trailer is rented by a flat fee plus sales tax and an optional protection plan.  From Detriot to Oklahoma City with the 6'x12' trailer is $981.  The SafeMove protection is $48.  This covers damage to the trailer, up to $5000 of the contents, and a personal injury coverage.  You can also get $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000 for additional charges.  Then you need to take your total figure and add Michigan's sales tax, if it applies.  You really need to talk to a local U-Haul dealer to set this up, and they can give you a better number than I can from here.  You can also look up the price on http://www.uhaul.com , but they won't tell you about the taxes, or the SafeMove.  

Answer 2

You just have to go the uhaul website.  Select the truck you want, just pick random dates for now, and it will give you an estimate right then.

For gas mileage, I've heard it's only about 10mpg.  So, just find the average price of gas and calculate it.
