Getting the Most from an Authorized U-Haul Dealer

It’s time to move out and move in and you’re surely excited for this new chapter in your life. But before you get to enjoy yourself wherever you’re going, you have to go through the inconvenience of packing and moving things. You should know that the amount of stress in your move will totally depend on how you handle things.

When moving, it is important that you hire a reputable moving truck like U-Haul to help you out. You see, it’s not just the name you’re after; it’s the service they offer. With years and years of moving experience and dealing with various customers, an authorized U-Haul dealer will know how to help you out. Whether you’re moving directly to a new home or putting stuff in a self storage unit, hiring their services is well worth the money.

Renting a U-Haul truck isn’t really cheap. But there are some tips to follow to help you pay less and work with less time too. Here they are:

  • ·      Quote early. You can get a quote online, but do this often until the date of your move. This will give you an idea of how much you will be spending. If the self storage unit you have is an authorized U-Haul dealer, you can check with them too. Rates tend to fluctuate depending on the equipment you need and the demand for their services.


  • ·      Rent a smaller truck. This is one way of saving big money when renting a U-Haul truck. Assess your needs properly. Maybe if you just pack things better, a smaller truck will do. With a smaller truck, there is less gas needed too. Thus, less charges for you. Check with the authorized U-Haul dealer about the price differences.


  • ·    Try negotiating. Talk to your authorized U-Haul dealer and try to negotiate. There are locations that are actually negotiable. Who knows, you may even get a discount for the truck rental. And if you’re getting the self storage unit from them, surely, they can give you a package deal of some sort. Just don’t hesitate to ask and negotiate, it can mean big savings on your end.


  • ·      Print the quote. Get it in writing so if anything changes, you can back it up. A different employee may serve you and doesn’t know what quote you negotiated for. So, print it out.


Do yourself a favor and pay for reliable services. Your move shouldn’t be a hassle and a stressful experience. Also, make sure that the self storage unit is in a secure facility located near you.
