RENTAL TRUCKS
To Start... When you are researching rental trucks, be sure to see our reviews (listed below). Moving yourself is a great way to save money. But beware of the many cheap moving trucks for rent. They could end up being not so cheap. They might have mechanical problems and cause you to breakdown (and THAT always happens on the freeway in the middle of nowhere!) Or you could get a flat tire if the rubber is in poor condition. Better to rent from the major moving truck rentals. What Else Do You Need? When you rent a moving truck, you may also need moving equipment such as an appliance dolly, hand truck, and furniture pads. Check also that there is a loading ramp either built in or furnished. Other moving supplies and boxes: * tape * tape gun * paper (newsprint) * paper pads (for pictures & large statues or vases) * remember the wardrobe bars if you in fact purchase wardrobe boxes * different sizes of moving boxes You can also choose to search and collect a variety of sizes of used moving boxes. But consider; your good stuff deserves good boxes. We've rented: o Cheap moving trucks o Small and large trucks o Moving trailers of various sizes So we've included some moving truck rental reviews:
Of the 3 one way moving truck rental companies I researched, Budget was the lowest cost, and U-haul was the highest. But don't let the cost alone be your deciding factor. Check online, and with your local moving truck rental businesses. * Are they courteous? * Is the dealer center neat and tidy? * When you overhear them on the phone, are they polite, sincere, and willing to help? * Ask about their roadside assistance, and customer service * Is the truck you plan to rent gas or diesel Even though diesel fuel may cost more at the pump, the MPG may be a lot better than a truck with a gasoline engine. Especially if you're towing a trailer or car. And the power for climbing hills is important, too. And now some tips to remember for your moving adventure when you're driving. Most of these are common sense, but rental trucks are big, so this is a good reminder: o Check your mirrors often - always know what's around you o Slow down in bad weather o Wear the seat belt - it's the law o Take is easy on turns, curves, and off-ramps o Don't tailgate o Get your speed up when merging onto the freeways Now, be careful and be safe!
