Compare Penske Truck Rental Coupons to U-Pack's Value
This isn't the first time we've discussed driving a rental vs. moving with U-Pack. But what about Penske truck rental coupons? Anytime there's a discount mentioned, of course it makes sense to research what your best options truly are. To make it a little easier, I'll break down a few of the specifics that go along with using a Penske truck for moving.

Moving Budget 101
One of the first things to consider when you're deciding how to move is the price. It's safe to say that the most expensive option doesn't necessarily mean the best (or that the cheapest is automatically one to avoid). So what's the smart thing to do— how do you choose a moving company that works for you? Take a look at the true total cost of using each option. For example: even with a Penske truck rental coupon, you'll still need to consider the gas cost, taxes, possible road tolls, and fees. Other expenses you may not think of when calculating your budget are meals on the road and extra hotel stays (travel by rental truck is considerably slower than regular car travel due to max speed recommendations). Penske truck rental coupons (even one for 10% off) aren't likely to make up for the additional ’soft costs' you'll experience by driving a rental yourself.

"I need more space!"
Space in a rental can be a problem in two ways. The first issue can arise when you're actually loading up your belongings— what happens if you run out of room, with half the house left to pack and load? Keep in mind that Penske truck rental sizes are considerably smaller when compared to a U-Pack moving trailer. Another space issue in rentals is the actual cab of the truck; not exactly designed to hold the whole family! Moving with U-Pack allows you to travel to your new home in the comfort of your own vehicle. The potential savings from Penske rental coupons may not quite outweigh the stress you'll save yourself (and the kiddos!) by letting U-Pack do the driving.

The bottom line
So what's the verdict? There's still one detail you might not have realized yet. If you haven't already received a free moving quote from U-Pack, try it out— did you know that U-Pack rates are actually comparable to truck rental? Penske truck rental coupons can certainly get you a discount; but when you consider the extra costs and possible space issues, you may actually end up shelling out more than you anticipated.
