Budget Moving Trucks offer the ability to add a navigation system to help you find your way… but is having a navigation system in your Budget moving truck really worth it?
The price to have a navigation system in your Budget moing truck starts at $11.95 per day. And f’rom the looks of it, they’ll give you a Garmin navigation system. My thought is this: if you are moving anywhere where you’ll need to look at a map on how to get there, then it’s worth the $11.95 a day to add it to your Budget moving truck rental.
I mean think about it. Having a navigation system in your moving truck is actually a really good idea. If you’re taking your Budget moving truck cross country or you’re going through a few states, just think if you need to find your way around an accident?
Or… if you get hungry or need gas?
I have the Garmin navigation system in my car and I use it several times a week to find a restaurant, store, etc. So my vote would be 100 percent yes, paying $11.95 per day to have a Garmin navigation system in your Budget moving truck is a great idea. You’ll save more than that on gas because you’ll know exactly where you’re going, too.
Please note that the Garmin Navigation System is not available at all Budget Moving Truck locations. You’ll want to give them a call and see if they offer one.
And by the way, if your cell phone has Bluetooth, you pair the two and have hands-free calling! And that is always a good thing when you’re driving a Budget moving truck across town or country!

Budget Moving Trucks offers a great line of moving trucks that’ll allow you to have a nice and smooth move. They offer quite a few different models that should be able to tackle nearly any moving you have whether it’s a move across town or a cross-country move.
Budget Moving Trucks offer:
1. Budget Moving Cargo Van
This moving truck is good for 1-2 room. However, this truck does not have a ramp, so be prepared to load up on some good pain killers before you start moving anything.
2. 10-foot Budget Moving Truck
This truck provides a little extra room, but you will not find a ramp on this truck either. However, it does provide you with 10 feet of clearance compared to 9 with the Budget moving cargo van.
3. 16-foot Budget Moving Truck
Now we’re getting into some serious moving truck action here. The 16-foot moving truck can pack in 3-4 rooms, provides you with a ramp, and a whopping 11 feet 6 inches of clearence.
4. 24-foot Budget Moving Truck
This moving truck is nothing short of a gas-guzzling monster. While all of the other moving trucks and moving cargo van have 35-gallon gas tanks, this Budget Moving Truck has a 55-gallon stomach. Oh yeah. I can hear the gas station sucking the cash out of our wallets with this one.
55-gallons? Really? Whew! Just wait to see the cost to fill these babies up when gas hits $4.00 a gallon!
And in case you’re wondering, this truck provides you with 11 feet 6 inches of clearence, so you should have no problem slipping your mega tall flat screen TV inside this moving truck.
In a future post, I’ll talk about the Budget Rental Truck Insurance. Is it worth it? Should you get it? Will your auto policy cover you if you are involved in an accient? We’ll be diving into that topic soon.

You can find Budget Moving Truck Coupons online and off if you are trying to save a little money on your move. The typical coupons that you’ll see for a Budget moving truck will be to save 10% off your move, a percentage off of moving supplies, and other coupon deals.
One of the best places I have found to find Budget Moving Truck Coupons is in those Value Paks we often get in the mail. But if you haven’t seen one of those come in for awhile, here is a secret…
Go to your local post office and ask for or look for a change of address form and moving package. In there you’ll find all sorts of coupons for moving companies like Budget. In my previous moves, this is what I would do to find deals and often would save hundreds of dollars because of the moving coupons.
So over all, I would say your best bet to find Budget moving truck coupons would be at your post office. I know it has worked for me in the past!

A Budget moving truck may be one of your best choices when moving across town or cross country. Budget usually provides some excellent deals and you may even be able to find some valuable coupons to get a % off on your Budget truck rental.
If you happen to have an American Express card, Budget is running a special right now where you can save 15% off any rental. I wish they had this special when I moved cross country. I would have saved about $200 bucks!
One of the advantages of renting a Budget moving truck is that you should end up with a truck that is in excellent condition. Unlike many other moving truck rental companies, they replace 25% of their fleet each year. So odds are you won’t have to deal with an air conditioning system that doesn’t work or a radio that 0nly works on AM and only one speaker works!
As far as the sizes of trucks that Budget offers, they have:
- A 10 foot cargo van
- A 10 foot moving truck
- A 16 foot moving truck
- A 24 foot moving truck
The 24 foot Budget moving truck is perfect if you are moving 5-8 rooms worth of furniture and boxes and you can have up to 12,000 pounds worth of items loaded up onto the truck. Also, the 24 foot truck is the only truck that Budget has that has 3 seatbelts, all of their other moving trucks have just 2.
And one other important difference is that all of the moving trucks have a 35 gallon gas tank. The 24 foot truck has a 55 gallon tank. So if you’re looking to haul a lot of furniture on your move, I would suggest a 24 foot Budget moving truck for your needs.
