A recent Google Survey revealed that 37.5% of Americans opt to DIY a move and rent a truck – making this the most popular moving option in 2023. As such, Movers.com has published a guide titled “Tips on How to Rent a Moving Truck”, covering truck size, insurance, and important questions to ask the rental service, among other things.
More details about Movers.com and the full guide can be found at https://www.movers.com/truck-rental-guides/how-to-rent-a-truck-for-your-move.html
While DIY moves are commonly preferred for the lower cost, Movers.com understands that, if not planned properly, they can be difficult to execute and cause a lot of unnecessary stress. In the new guide, the moving professionals – whose mission is to make moving a less stressful process – explain how to rent a moving truck at affordable rates and avoid common mistakes.
“A low-cost alternative to hiring full-service movers, truck rentals are a great way to save some money; however, they also require planning and research,” says Movers.com. “And it starts with determining what size of truck you need.”
While this will depend on the number of items – especially furniture and other large pieces – typically, for a four-bedroom apartment, the movers recommend a 26-foot truck. For studios or small one-bedroom apartments, a 10-foot truck will generally be enough. Movers.com also recommends giving the truck rental company a list of items to get a professional recommendation.
Before settling on a company, however, the guide suggests that movers should obtain three to five quotes and do background checks on their top choices. To ensure that the company is legitimate and reliable, movers can read online reviews and check websites such as MovingScam.com.
Other topics covered in the guide include the best time to reserve a truck, things to check when inspecting a moving truck, and the process for returning the truck to the rental company.
For those who want to compare truck rental costs with full-service moving estimates, Movers.com can provide up to seven quotes from local movers, at no cost. In business since 1994, it has a network of over 700 licensed and insured moving companies and has helped over six million customers connect with local moving professionals.
