For someone that doesn’t want to hire movers to transport their things from their old house to the new one, finding a good moving truck rental is of the utmost importance. You’ll definitely need a moving van or truck to get your stuff to your new place. But remember, the experience you have with the moving truck largely depends on you!
Here are a few things to consider when looking for a moving truck rental. Keep these things in mind to save yourself time, frustration, and – most importantly – money!
- Prices Will Vary. There is so much competition in the moving industry that the prices of moving truck rentals will vary greatly from one company to another. Just remember, flat rates can vary, as can the add-ons like towing equipment, rental periods and mileage.
- Reserve Early! Just like renting a car, if you wait till the last minute, you may be forced to pay a lot or stuck with a moving truck that doesn’t really suit your needs. Always book your moving truck ahead of time.
- Need Insurance? If you’re not used to driving a large moving truck, you might need additional insurance. There are typically several options available – and why worry about what happens if you have an accident?
- Return On Time. Returning your moving truck past deadline can result in a lot of extra fees – why waste your money? Plan ahead and give yourself extra time to get the moving truck back to the depot.
