As with any rental, make sure to carefully research all policy requirements of renting a truck, such as age requirements, credit card requirements, additional driver policies and mileage restrictions (most cargo van rentals have a pay per mile plan as opposed to unlimited mileage, which is common with a car rental).
Check carefully about insurance coverage, either those that are offered by the truck rental company or coverage that may apply through your own insurance policy.
