Under Moving Truck Companies+ Self Moving Truck Rental+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental
Trying to find a cheap self moving truck rental? Moving truck rental companies offer many different types of moving trucks and moving vans.
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, it’s a good idea to stop by your local post office to pick up a moving and change of address package. I’ve had luck finding coupons for self moving truck rental companies.
A few things to keep in mind when renting a self moving truck:
1. Do your homework: Make sure that the moving truck company that you are renting from has safe trucks
2. Research: You can find cheap moving truck companies and expensive ones. Give them a call and find out the price of a self moving truck rental.
3. Tell them what you need: If you need to rent a trailor to haul your car or truck behind your moving truck, make sure that you ask if they have any trailors available. I used a Penske moving truck in the past and rented a trailor from the same location.
4. Give yourself more time: Moving takes more time than you usually plan on. So add a day or two as a buffer to make sure you are not running around or speeding down the highway.
Have a fun and safe move!

Under Self Moving Truck Rental+ One Way Moving Truck Rental+ Moving Trucks+ Moving Truck Rental+ Hertz Moving Truck Rental
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 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 Moving Truck Rental Minnesota+ Self Moving Truck Rental+ Moving Trucks+ Cheap Pickup Truck Rental
Looking for a moving truck rental in Minnesota? Well you’re in luck! Minnesota is home to several moving truck rental companies, so you should be able to find yourself a great deal. We’ll share some of those companies with you in a moment, but first let’s make sure you dot all your i’s and cross all of your t’s before renting your moving truck. (Or pick up truck or van.)
Now one a few things that you will want to consider when renting a moving truck in Minnesota is if it’s the winter, make sure the truck has heat!
You’d be surprised how many stories there are out there of people renting a moving truck in Minnesota and they were stuck with a truck that had no heat. This is something you really need to watch out for when renting a moving truck during the winter months in areas that get snow and cold.
I remember one time I was moving from an apartment in New Hampshire in February and rented a moving truck. New Hampshire and Minnesota are pretty much the same when it comes to the cold in February. And on this day the sky was clear blue and the winds were blowing 20-40 miles an hour. The windchill was 20-30 below zero and if you spit, it would freeze before it hits the ground.
I arrived to the moving truck rental place and noticed that there was only one truck there. I RAN in, got the keys and started the truck - which it finally did start after a few attempts. I then ran back to my car and waited 15 minutes for the truck to warm up.
When I jumped back in the truck - it was still freezing in there! To make a long story short, I was stuck with the truck because I had to move that day and I had to keep scraping the ice off the windshield - on the inside! My breath created ice inside the truck windshield and it was the coldest drive of my life. Thankfully it was a move to a town only 15 minutes away. But still - it was NOT fun!
So when you stop into the moving truck rental place in Minnesota - make sure the truck has heat… and that it works! And bring some extra warm cloths just in case you get stuck with a truck that has no heat. :) Below are a few places you can try. Remember to get several quotes and look for deals for cheap moving truck offers!
Moving Truck Rental in Minnesota Companies:
1. Penske Moving Trucks of Minnesota
2. U-Haul Moving trucks and moving vans
3. Budget Truck Rentals
I wish you the best on your move to or from Minnesota. And by the way… I hope that it’s you’re moving in the summer!

Under Self Moving Truck Rental
Self moving truck rentals are by far the cheapest option. In my case I would always go for this type of truck hire because you will save you so much money. A typical price can be $60 per day of use. Although it will be a lot cheaper than any other option you will have to consider a few factors including: Are you able enough to pack your own goods into the truck? (You will most likely have some very heavy goods in your house e.g. a TV).
Do you have the time to pack all your own goods into the truck? And finally do you have a driving license? This may sound trivial but people will not have a driving license and expect to driver their own truck. I am sorry but this is just not possible.
This is the most common type of hire truck service because it is the cheapest and probably the most rewarding. You will know in yourself that your house is empty. You will be able to give it a good farewell. If you are using the truck for business like filling it with tiles for a new bathroom etc this will be the best method of transportation for you.
It is a very simple process just pick up the phone or go on the internet and book a truck to be delivered to your desired location and your ready to start packing or picking depending on your plan of action. All companies will provide this service and often prefer you to hire the trucks out than them using there own labour on people driving and packing gods in and out of the trucks. You will most defiantly have to pay for the gas you use, although this is subject to negotiations. You will have to pay for any tolls you go through. These are all added costs, put them in your budget as they can add up and totally surprise people.
