Moving continues to be one of the most
stressful events in a person’s life. Since
1967, it has ranked relatively high on the
list of stressful events leading to
potential chronic illness. There is much to
be said for
san diego moving companies who do a great
job and even more to be said about moving
companies who aren’t as reputable. Despite
multiple federal indictments against a large
group of illegally licensed movers who were
stealing personal items and/or holding the
possessions “hostage,” for lack of a better
term, there are still some less than
reputable commercial movers out there.
So, many people choosing to move locally or
across the country choose to rent a
commercial moving truck on their own.
It’s a lot of work but far more
economical in comparison. And, you are
assured that you will arrive at your new
home with all of the possessions you left
your old house with when you choose a
rental
truck!
Some of the top truck rental companies are
U-Haul, Penske, Budget and Ryder.
Whether you choose to research
these truck rental companies online or by
calling a representative to get an estimate,
be prepared. Know how many rooms of
furniture you are moving, approximately how
many boxes you will have on top of furniture
and large items (don’t forget to include
things like lawn tractors, lawn mowers and
items stored in the attic, basement and
storage shed, storage unit, or garage).
Estimate a little higher than you think
and be sure to ask what all their quoted
truck rental rates include. Is insurance
extra? How much extra? What about extra
charges for supplies like appliance dollies,
moving blankets, the purchase of boxes,
locks, etc.? And, are those items charged on
a purchase and it’s yours to keep basis or
are you just renting them for the duration
of the truck rental? How much mileage is
included with the truck rental each day?
Will you be charged for additional mileage
and if so, how much? What about a deposit to
hold the truck and how is it refunded upon
return?
You should also find out how they maintain
their respective fleets and what the
repair/replacement process is, in the event
of mechanical trouble during your move with
the company’s rental truck. Also, if you
should need to tow a vehicle, find out what
the truck rental company charges for a
trailer or what other options they may have.
There are many things to think about when
researching truck rentals but this option
leaves YOU in charge of transporting your
items and making sure they arrive safely and
in the timely manner you require.
