Stop Overpaying For Your Move By Choosing The Right Truck Rental Service

Most people when moving home, won’t have large enough vehicles of their own to make the move, so the main choices are hiring a full-service moving company or using truck rental services. Full-moving services may take on more of the work, but they can be very expensive, so ‘do it yourself’ truck rentals are a good alternative.

Services

Some companies rent out pick-up trucks, cargo trailers, auto-trailers and vans as well as trucks, and some also offer help with packing, loading and self storage services too. If you want boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and padded blankets as well, check that these are included.

Restrictions

Local moves shouldn’t be a problem, but if you are driving a long distance, check that that this is permitted by the rental company. You may also want to leave the truck at your destination for collection, but not all companies allow one-way moves.

Price

In addition to the base rental cost, the price normally includes fees per mile and insurance. Most companies don’t include the gas costs in the price, which you will have to pay for yourself. Taxes, environmental fees and fuel charges may be added as well.

Additional help

Companies should offer roadside assistance in the event of a breakdown and some may also offer pickup services for those without a car as well moving tips on their website.
