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.
