Top Moving Truck Rental Companies

With every move comes packing, calling friends, and of course securing a moving truck rental. While there are plenty of moving truck rental companies out there, there are three that stand out from the crowd, not just because of their names, but also because of their reputations. Chances are you saw one or all of the trucks out while you were driving to work today. Yes when it comes to moving time, nothing says time to go like U-Haul, Budget, and Penske.

Each company offers many different options and sometimes choosing comes down to who is offering the best deal. The following is a little bit of information about each moving truck rental company and what they have to offer:

• U-Haul: Perhaps the best known of all the moving truck rental companies, U-Haul has been around forever and it is not uncommon to hear someone say, 'We have to rent a U-Haul,' even if they simply mean a moving truck. The company can accommodate your moving needs if you are doing an in town move or across the country move. They offer a wide variety of vehicles from a pick-up truck all the way up to a 26-foot moving truck. Depending on what your needs are you can rent a truck for a flat rate per day plus extra per mile driven for an in town move and they will give you a free quote on an out of state move, also known as a one way move. U-Haul sometimes offers special pricing when making your reservations online so it pays to check.

• Budget: Budget is not quite as well known as U-Haul but their presence in the moving truck rental business is big. They offer vehicles from the size of a cargo van to that of a big straight truck, and have a reputation for maintaining a high quality fleet. Budget also charges a flat per day fee and also extra per mile driven for in town moves. You can rent a Budget moving truck for a local move or a one-way move across the country. If you choose Budget as your moving truck rental company, be sure to reserve your truck online as you can use a Budget promotion code and receive an additional discount.

• Penske: These are the big yellow trucks that can be seen on a daily basis running the highways. Penske's vehicles range from smaller trucks to big rigs that can pull a 52-foot trailer. Like U-Haul they offer free quotes on one way moving as well as in town moving for a flat per day fee plus additional money per mile driven. Penske, like the others, also offers certain discounts when reserving online.

Each company has a toll free number that you can call if you have any specific questions that need to be addressed and each company suggests that you make your reservations well in advance so that you can make sure that the truck you want will be available on the date you need it. As far as choosing the right one for your move, make sure the truck you need is available and then go with the best deal.

Moving can be a big stress, but you can lighten that stress by making sure that you go with one of these top moving truck rental companies. With the piece of mind of knowing that your truck needs will be filled you can be left with worrying about which friends you can sucker into giving up a weekend to help you move your things.
