There may come a time when a small vehicle may not cut it, and you need to get a full size van rental, such as moving to a new location. Moving to a new location can be a very expensive situation and very stressful.
While hiring a moving company to help you move might save you some back ache, it’s not going to save your wallet and head aches. Hiring a moving company can be very expensive, and the headaches associated to watching minimum wage employees toss around your personal belongings can be too much. In this situation, getting a full size van rental is the best option.
Make sure you consider everything you need before you start shopping around for a company to rent from. Here are some questions you may want to consider (and ask when you call):
- Do you rent from a local or national company?
- What size van do you need?
- How long will you need it?
- When do you have to return the vehicle?
- Can you extend the rental time if needed?
- Do they offer 24 hour roadside assistance?
- Is it unlimited mileage? (if not, what is the rate?)
- Do you need extra insurance?
- Do you need a one way rental or is it more cost effective to drive back and forth?
Luckily for you the van rental industry is a highly competitive industry and everyone is fighting to get your money. If you are unsure of where to look for a company to contact, try these:
- Local and National Newspaper Ads
- Classified Ads
- Local Business Phone Directories
- Post Office Ads
- Internet Websites
- Email Ads
It’s very important that you don’t rush. A quick decision can easily be a costly decision, and if you’re like me.. every penny counts!
Happy moving!
