Cheap Truck Rentals

Finding the best, but cheapest moving truck rental facility can be hard. With so many moving truck businesses to choose from, it may be difficult to find a rental business that provides good working moving trucks, customer service, road side assistance, and applicable insurance.

Here are some tips to help your moving truck rental be cheaper, whether you rent from a major moving truck company or from a local rental site.

One of the most expensive times to rent a moving truck is in the summer. Summer time is usually when most people decide it is time to relocate, remodel, or otherwise haul their belongings off to other places. You have a better chance at getting a cheaper deal by renting your moving truck during an off season. Some moving truck companies, especially large ones, won’t budge on their price. However, it never hurts to ask.

Most large moving truck businesses and local businesses have different rates on any particular day. Generally your rental truck will cost more on the weekend than it does during the work week. If possible, schedule your need for a moving truck during the week to receive the cheapest moving truck rental rates.

Make sure you are renting the right sized truck for your need. You can usually view a moving truck company’s fleet online to get each individual truck’s dimensions. Renting a truck that is larger than you actually require will have you paying much more than you should be. Get the truck that is the perfect size for your intended purpose to save the most money.

Renting an older model truck to save some extra cash on rental fees may actually not be the best option. Most older model trucks are neglected by the owners and don’t receive regular checkups or tune ups. If the truck is not properly cared for it will not work properly and your risks of breaking down are increased. Not only that, but, never trucks have better gas mileage. Most, if not all, moving truck rental companies charge you per mile and expect the fuel tank to be filled back up before returning the moving truck. If you are spending a lot of money on gas you aren’t saving anything by getting the older modeled moving truck.

Doing a little bit of research will also help you find the best moving truck rental company for a low cost. You can visit any of the major moving truck companies online and request a free quote. Prices of moving truck rentals often vary, especially when you consider whether your truck rental will be for round trip or one way. Costs also increase as the size of the truck being rented increase. Obtain your free quotes and compare them. You can take the quotes the major companies offered and possibly negotiate a lesser fee from the local companies. Local companies are more apt to change their prices than the larger companies are. Displaying the quotes you received from the major companies to our local company can greatly aide in getting a cheaper moving truck rental rate.
