| Truck Rental |
| For the do-it-yourself purist, renting a truck is the only way to move to your new home. If you are only moving a short distance, then a local truck rental is what you need. When you use a
local truck rental you will pick-up and return the truck at the same dealer location. Renting a truck can get great for long distance moves too, because you will return the truck to the dealer location nearest to your new home. The internet is a great way to compare offers and then make a reservation with a truck rental company. |
| |
| Consider the type of truck that you will need for your household move. A twelve-foot truck has 450 cubic feet of space, which should accommodate one to two rooms of household goods. Some of the largest trucks are twenty-six feet long and have 1,400 cubit feet for six to eight rooms of household goods. |
| |
| Finally, think about your automobile. If you are driving a truck, how will you get your car to your new home?
Truck rental companies also offer tow dollies or car carriers that will tow your car behind the rented truck. A tow dolly is recommended for front-wheel drive cars. All-wheel drive and real-wheel drive cars should be towed using a car carrier. |
| |
| Truck rental companies offer much more than just a truck. You can also procure moving boxes, packing supplies, moving blankets, ramps and dollies. Inquire with your truck rental dealer for more details about their special offers.
