Pointers for Truck Rentals

Some truck rental companies are more oriented towards smaller, in-town moves; others are focused more on renting larger trucks for cross-country journeys. Seasonal discounts or special rates may be offered by certain companies. It is best to ask some of your friends and relatives, do research online, and request estimate from several companies before making a final decision.

If you’re moving across town, most truck rental agencies will accommodate your needs. However, if you’re moving across the state or across country, most truck rental agencies will consider that a “one-way” reservation. Local reservations are generally priced with a flat daily fee plus a per mile charge. One-way rentals are generally priced in a lump sum quote that will include a fixed number of days and miles and do not require returning the truck to the original location. Neither type of rental will include costs for fuel, insurance or moving trucks and equipment so make sure to inquire about those costs as well.

With the wide variety of moving trucks available, it’s important to consider if you’ll be able to safely drive the vehicle you rent. Before signing a rental agreement, sit in the driver’s seat to make sure you’re comfortable with the size of the vehicle. Many but not all moving truck rentals feature automatic transmissions, but it’s always a good idea to check and be sure before renting; rent what you can drive. When you talk about insurance; truck rental agencies generally offer various protection options. Before you agree to any additional coverage, check your own vehicle insurance coverage policy to see if it covers moving vehicle rental. Keep in mind that your auto insurance is primary, so if you don’t have coverage or don’t want to risk a claim on your existing auto policy, consider the protection product offered by the truck rental company.

Lastly, when you pick up your moving truck, the gas tank should be full. Remember that you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid steep re-fuel charges by the truck rental company. Make sure to ask about the vehicle’s gas consumption and work this into your moving costs. Make sure to clean out the moving truck before returning to gain trust and good relationship with the truck rental company.
