Hertz Moving Trucks: Does Size Really Matter?

Are you wondering if a Hertz moving truck is right for you?  Will the moving truck be big enough?  Will it be too small?  Will it have a 30″ flat screen TV mounted on the rear-view mirror?  (Ha ha… OK, we wish.)  To help you out, Hertz Moving Trucks offers moving trucks in three different sizes:

1. Hertz 15-foot moving truck
2. Hertz 20-foot moving truck
3. Hertz 24-foot moving truck

Still trying to figure out the size moving truck you need?

Some advise from someone who has goofed big-time before: Always go a little bigger than you need!  Ask me how I know that one.  There’s nothing like moving in the rain and realizing that you still have several boxes, a couch, and a dresser that needs to be moved and finding out that the moving truck that you rented is too small!

So here’s an easy formula that’ll help you figure out the size of the Hertz moving truck that you need.

Simply measure each item that you are moving to determine how many cubic feet the item is.  Once you’ve done that, add up all of the cubic feet and divide that number by the square root of 892 and times that by the age of your dog and then simply minus the total sum of the numbers on the Hertz moving truck license plate.

Ha – only kidding here.  But seriosly, when you give them a call, let me know how many rooms you’re moving and they’ll be able to tell you what you need.  But be sure to account for items that will take up a lot of space like kids toys, televisions, and boxes that you really shouldn’t stack other boxes on (like glass) but usually do anyway and hope for the best.  :)
