Weekly Cargo Van Rental Moving Van Rental for a Week
Ed asks:
I'm thinking of getting a weekly cargo van rental. live in the Hartford CT area. I really only need the rented cargo van for 4 days around the end of May, but I'm thinking that it may be cheaper to rent the van for a week. Do you know if this is true and do you know of a place in Hartford where I could get a moving van rental for a week?
My Response:
The pricing difference may depend on which few days you need it for. A moving van rental on the weekend may be more expensive than just renting for a few days during the week.
I checked a truck rental company Budget Truck Rentals (opens in a new window) as an example.
I checked for a price for a cargo van for 4 days on a weekend, the price for 4 days through the week and then checked the rate for a weekly cargo van rental. The length of the rental made no difference... the daily rate was the same for each rental period. You may find a different result with another company.. the only way to know for sure is to check multiple suppliers.
The first thing that I suggest you do is research what weekly cargo van rental suppliers are in your area; then you can start looking for pricing for the type of truck rental you want for the dates you're looking for, checking the difference for each supplier for a moving van rental for a week vs renting for just the dates that you need.
I did a yellowpages.com search for cargo van rental and moving van rental for Hartford, CT and found the following companies:
