compare moving truck rental prices without stress

Know what you need first

Before you call or click, jot down your move date, distance, and how much you’re hauling. Truck sizes vary, and paying for a bigger rig than needed cancels any bargain. A simple checklist helps you compare apples to apples when reviewing quotes.

Gather and compare quotes

Reach out to at least three companies and ask for the total out-the-door cost. Request the same pickup and drop-off times so you see true differences. Look for transparent pricing and ask how rate changes if you extend by a day or add miles.

• Mileage caps and per-mile fees
• Base rate by day or hour
• Fuel policy and refill requirements
• One-way versus round-trip charges
• Add-ons: dollies, blankets, and toll devices
• Insurance tiers and deposit rules
• Peak-day or weekend surcharges

Ways to save

Be flexible with pickup times, reserve early, and join loyalty programs. Confirm any promo in writing.

1. Measure and choose the smallest safe size
2. Book midweek or mid-month
3. Compare cancellation terms before paying
