Moving Rental Trucks

Often when moving, it is useful to utilize a rental moving truck to complete a do it yourself local move. Some people prefer a combination professional and do it yourself, where they move the small easier items and leave the big heavy stuff for the professionals. In other instances they may choose to use a rental truck for a long distance within the state or even to another state. In any of these instances, or for any other reason you might want to use a rental, it is good be informed about what is available and the differences between the rental truck companies.

There are even times when professional movers use rental trucks.   Having experienced all of these issues and more in my 22 years as a moving company manager, I have learned quite a bit about the do's and don'ts of rental trucks that I would like to share.

Currently there are three major national moving truck companies, and each one seems to have a slightly different focus and niche in the market. There are also some smaller, more local oriented truck rental companies should you be looking for a truck that you would return to the same location that you picked it up.

We gave a comparison overview on our blog for the three big players offering local and one way truck rentals:   Uhaul, Budget, and Penske.

Deciding on what type of truck to use can also be an overwhelming decision.  We covered the differences between professional moving trucks, freight trucks, and rental movers trucks on our blog here.
