Moving Van Rental vs Minivan Rental?Ashley asks: RE: Re: Moving Van Rental vs Minivan rental
I am moving from Clemson, SC (29632) to Tucson, AZ for graduate school. I've been looking at lots of sites, but can't seem to find anything in my price range. I have about a minivan's/large SUV's amount of belongings I need to move. I will be driving with one other passenger who is over 25. Do you think it would be cheaper to use a truck/van company that's geared towards moving or a regular car rental company? Thanks for any help! My Response: I'm assuming that you would be doing a one way truck rental (not bringing the vehicle back)?
I checked into Budget Truck rental and UHaul. For Budget Truck Rental, (closest locations were Seneca, Belton or Anderson) you would have to rent a 10 foot truck (cargo vans are not available for one way). The rate that I found included unlimited mileage. With UHaul, the rates which included up to 8 days and 2200 miles free. Because rates can change from minute to minute, based on availibility, it's impossible for me to give you accurate pricing information. But I can tell you than when I checked examples of pricing from these two companies, the Budget Truck rental rate was the cheaper of the two, plus you get unlimited mileage.
I'm not sure if a moving van rental(vs minivan rental) would be any cheaper for you, as I don't know what you were quoted for the minivans or SUV's, but hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions!
