Make sure to book a truck at least one month before your planned move. "During the peak season such as the summer months, or during the weekends, trucks lease out quickly."
On the day of the move arrive at the rental truck company early to avoid delays. It can get pretty busy and you wouldnt want to loose time waiting in line.
Make sure to get several quotes from different truck renting companies. To get the right quote you will need to know the size of a truck that will be sufficient for your move.
"When renting a truck, check the insurance policy, and purchase it." Rented trucks usually are not covered by drivers credit card or his/her own auto insurance policy.
