Tips To The Best Moving Truck
Rental Experience
By: John Manci
Whether you are moving across the country or just across town,
it might be wise to consider a
moving truck rental to get your belongings from place to
place. Renting a moving truck can prove to be quit cost effective when
compared to multiple trips back and forth with a vehicle you already
own.
1- Shop around and inquire about prices
and specials as well as other options that may be offered to you when
you rent a moving truck. Look for a company that has high
standards for their trucks as well as their towing equipment, this may
be more expensive, but worth it in the long run. Ask if the company
offers unlimited mileage, if not, find out how much extra miles will
cost you.
It is important that you understand the
charges for moving storage. |

2- Today's technology makes it easier
than every to reserve a moving truck. It is possible to do
almost all of your research and to make reservations either online or
over the phone. |
|
While this technology can make
doing business easier, it is always a wise decision to actually speak
with the company that you want to do business with face to face. This
will help to avoid any misunderstandings.
3- Before you agree to rent a truck,
inspect it. The truck rental company will have a standard form
for you to fill out. While doing the inspection, look for things such
as dents, scratches and rust. Be sure to check out the latches and
locks on the doors as well. By documenting the items wrong with the
truck before you rent it will mean that you won't be charged for the
damage later. |
4- While you are in the reservation and renting process, the company
will offer you optional insurance to cover the vehicle. There will be
a few options available to you when renting a moving truck,
these could include accident insurance, limited loss and damage
waivers and cargo insurance. It's always a good idea to speak with
your auto insurance carrier to see if you already have these overages.
If you don't, it could be a wise idea to buy them from the rental
company, especially if you are traveling very long distances.
5- At the time of the moving truck rental, you will need to
show certain personal documents. These will include a driver's
license, your personal proof of insurance and a major credit card.
These documents are needed to prove that you are of legal age to rent
the truck (usually 25), that you have personal auto accident insurance
available, and that they can secure payment from you.
6- Depending upon the size of the moving truck rental, you need
and where you are traveling, you may need to stop at weigh stations
along the way. It's best to ask the rental company if they have any
knowledge of the truck being big enough for this requirement. Also,
call the state police in all the states you will be traveling through
to get the specific requirements for each state.
7- Lastly, before you drive off the rental lot with your moving truck,
you will need to get copies of all of the important documents from the
rental company. These could include the rental agreement, a driver
trip report, a truck inspection sheet and any other paperwork that the
rental company suggests. Check to be sure that the proof of insurance
and the registration are also in the truck. |
