Movemart vs Rental Truck

Full service moving is a better alternative to rental trucks for local and long distance moving. Sure, rental trucks seem to be a low cost alternative for moving. But when you take into account all the cost involved, we believe that you will find full service moving to be very competitive. The following is a list of costs that you should consider before you sign a rental agreement.

  • Rental cost: Include Truck and additional cost for Moving Blankets and Dollies.
  • Insurance: In most cases if you choose to decline additional insurance you can be liable for the full cost of damage to the truck if you have an accident. This could cost thousands.
  • Fuel: Most loaded rental trucks get less than 10 mpg.
  • Labor: Pizza and Beer is not always enough to compensate friends for carrying sleeper sofas and you should consider the cost if you or an acquaintance should be injured during the course of the move.
  • Packing Materials: Check the prices for purchasing cartons from the rental agency.
  • Damage: If you damage your furnishings or home you have just went to a lot of trouble to lose money.
  • Other factors to consider include weather, delays caused by faulty equipment, flat tires, traffic and accidents.
