Looking for a cheap moving truck? Cheap moving trucks can be found out there, but you need to remember the saying, you get what you pay for. Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more than settling for the cheap moving truck route. And the same goes for cheap moving truck insurance. Be sure to shop around and also call your car insurance company to see if anything is covered before you agree to add on coverage.
Cheap moving trucks doesn’t mean that they are in bad condition or falling apart really. You can get a cheap moving truck by finding a coupon for moving truck companies. Sometimes companies like Ryder, U haul, Penskee, and others offers cheap moving truck coupons that you can find in the newspaper or or online.
With the cost of gas going up and up, the costs associated with renting a moving truck goes up as well. If you are moving cross-country and you’re looking for a cheap cross-country moving truck, yes, you can find deals out there, but be sure to remember your gas costs will be MUCH higher than you expected!
How can you save money on your moving truck?
Many moving companies offer moving truck coupons. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that you can sometimes find them at your local post office in their free moving kit, which also includes coupons for various items like storage, boxes, etc. from local businesses.
You may also be able to find some information online by searching for “budget moving truck coupons”, or “uhaul coupons”, or “Penskee coupons”, etc. Bottom line - moving always costs more than you had exptected. And with the costs of gas, you can be sure to spend more money on your move than you may have thought.
When it comes to moving truck rentals, it really does pay (or shall I say SAVE) to shop around!
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!
U haul is one of the largest moving truck rental company’s in the US. Uhaul has made it due to the low price that it charges for renting one of its basic u-haul trucks. The prices start from $19.95 for every day of use. Plus mileage charges which are around $10 per 20 miles. Other reasons why it has been so successful are because of its go green policy of exchanging used packing boxes for old, which are recycled. This makes everyone feel better in themselves for saving the planet. They have also expanded into a multi function right move moving truck Rental Company.
U Haul can be found all over the USA. I would definetely give it a try. Just remember to never let your process of moving stress you out and always be careful in what you are actually paying for.
