Hertz moving truck rental is found in many locations around the US. But that’s not all Hertz offers. In fact, they offer: Hertz Rent A Car, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, Hertz Local Edition® (HLE), Hertz Car Sales®, or Hertz Truck and Van or Hertz Leasing.
Odds are, there is a Hertz moving truck or van rental in your area. As far as moving trucks, they offer three different sizes. They offer a 15 foot truck, a 20 foot truck and a 24 foot truck. It’s always better to over estimate the space you need because there’s nothing worse than packing your boxes and belongings into the truck and then running out of room!
It’s also important to know that Hertz moving trucks do not have the extra overhead space like some other rental companies do. So keep that in mind. Hertz also offers moving vans (also called cargo vans) for those local or smaller moves across town, and they are also perfect for a small business to transport items across town.
Also, most local Hertz locations do offer packing supplies, boxes, tape, and locks. Be sure to load up on these items as the unused items can usually be returned for a refund. Running out of boxes is NO FUN when you are packing. Ask me how I know that! Ha ha!

Under U-Haul Moving Truck Rental+ One Way Moving Truck Rental+ Moving Truck Rental
Uhaul truck rentals in Houston are about as easy to find as finding a purse for $5,000 in the Galleria. When I retned a Uhaul truck for my move within Houston, I rented it from a place actually near the Galleria, off of Westheimer. However, I wasn’t too happy with the truck.
It was in the middle of the summer and the A/C wasn’t really up to par. After all, if you are moving to or from Houston in the summer, A/C is a must! It reminds me of the time I rented a truck in the winter that didn’t have heat!
Anyway, the Uhaul’s seats were ripped and only one speaker worked. So I was cruising down Westheimer and Richmond with the windows down and music blasting from one speaker covered in sweat - and I haven’t started to move anything yet!
So if you are looking for a cheap rental truck, van, or pick-up truck in Houston, be sure to check a few places… and also look in the trucks and make sure the A/C works and the radio is up to par!
When I lived in Katy, Texas, I used a Penske truck that I got off of Mason Rd. They also rented trailors to two a car, which the Uhaul that I went to did not. And always remember… call around! Often times the cheapest moving truck rentals will often come with (or without) items that you’ll need… like air conditioning!

Under Moving Cross Country+ Self Moving Truck Rental+ One Way Moving Truck Rental+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental
Are you moving cross country? What a headache! When I moved cross country, it was during the winter and I was towing my car behind the big Penske moving truck I rented. It was the first week of January and I was moving from Texas to New England.
The drive through most of the states went well besides some white-knuckle driving when I was going through construction and I old had an inch on the left of me by a wall and an inch to the right of me by other cards. (That lasted about 40 miles - I was a wreck!)
But when I got into the mountains of Pennsylvania, that’s when the fun started. The wind was blowing the renal truck all over the highway. My car that I was towing behind me would shift from one side to the next. And then the blinding snow came. Almost out of nowwhere blizzard-like conditions rolled in. I thought about pulling over but feared that the moving truck wouldn’t be able to get traction if I stopped trying to go up hill.
When we reached the top of one mountain, you couldn’t see 5 feet in front of you. I had the flashers on and was going about one mile an hour. Another moving truck (also a Penske moving truck) passed me on the right and scared the heck out of me. I didn’t see him coming.
And within about a minute later, the snow stopped and there was blue sky. The rest of the ride at that point went well, but I’ll never forget the white-knuckle road construction battle or the 10-15 minute blizzard that made moving cross country a little hairy at times.

Under One Way Moving Truck Rental
One-way moving truck rentals are trucks that only travel in one direction. They will pick something up in one place and drop it off in another further down the state etc. This type of rental is normally cheaper than hiring a truck yourself because the company will pick your goods up and drop them off at your desired location in one journey which will save petrol and road miles meaning in is quicker for the company and the customer. In effect you both win. The company e.g. Hertz (a popular truck hire company) will save a lot of time meaning more jobs can be done in a day meaning more money for them and the customer gets a quicker and cheaper service. Everybody is a winner, which is a very rare occasion nowadays.
You are looking at around $50 for a journey, which is a lot cheaper than you hiring a truck. This could be an advantage or a disadvantage. Overall it is cheaper but you will not get the satisfaction of packing your own valuables up to go to a new place, a new start. If there is a problem it could end up costing you a lot of money. You will have to consider these factors when choosing which type of one way moving truck rental you want.
Use the tips above to get the best deals. One extra thing I have discovered about one way moving truck rentals is that you are not packing your own valuables up into the truck which saves you effort but there is a high chance that something will get damaged when the truck drivers are packing the stuff in the back of the van. They have the tendency to just chuck things into the back of the van, even if they have FRAGILE draped across the top of the box. If you are elderly or disabled it will be a great help for someone else to pack your valuables but be prepared for the worst.
