Can I use U-Haul Coupons with U-Pack? U-Haul coupons can make a rental truck sound like a pretty good deal. It's important to remember, though, the extra costs that you may not consider when deciding on a moving company. Usually called soft costs', things like fuel, meals, hotel stays, and road tolls are all expenses that will take a chunk out of your moving budget. When you get a moving quote from U-Pack, you'll find that the fuel, taxes, road tolls, and driver are already included in the quoted price— and U-Pack takes care of the driving. That's a big deal when you consider the fuel cost alone: most rental trucks average 6 to 10 miles per gallon, pushing the gas cost to at least $600 for a 1,500 mile move at current gas prices. It's also important to remember that the maximum speed for a rental truck tops out at 55 MPH, or slower if you're towing a vehicle. This results in a longer travel time, meaning extra hotel stays and additional meals. By letting U-Pack do the driving, you'll be able to travel in the comfort of your own (much more fuel-efficient) car, at a reasonable speed that allows for a timely arrival at your new home. Even with U-Haul coupons, you'll still save more with U-Pack when it comes to making a long distance move. Questions about how U-Pack compares to truck rental? Give us a call or leave a comment. |
