Moving trucks with unlimited mileage
The word “unlimited” makes you feel good, doesn’t it? Anytime I see it, I feel like I’m getting a good deal. And who doesn’t want a good deal, right? This may be the reason why people gravitate toward the truck rental companies that advertise unlimited mileage. They feel like unlimited mileage is a deal simply because of the word “unlimited.” But I’m here to set the record straight. While it’s great to get the most out of every dollar when moving cross country, getting unlimited mileage with a moving truck isn’t as big of deal as it seems. Let me explain why…

Moving truck rental unlimited mileage – what’s the big deal?
First, unlimited mileage means you can drive your rental truck as many miles as you want without paying for any extra charges. While this seems like a bargain, it doesn’t make sense that you should pay extra for mileage anyway since you’re the one driving the truck and paying to fill it up with gas, too. Isn’t mileage part of what you’re paying for when you rent the truck? Paying extra would just be plain ridiculous!

Second, most people moving long distance aren’t interested in joy riding around town in a rental truck once they arrive at their destination, just to add more miles to the odometer because they have “unlimited mileage.” No, they’re focused on getting from point A to point B, so more than likely, every mile driven is a mile that needs to be driven. Moving truck rental unlimited mileage doesn’t seem so exciting anymore, does it?

The solution to truck rental unlimited mileage
My advice? Consider U-Pack Moving®. With U-Pack, there’s no concern about whether or not the miles are unlimited because U-Pack does the driving for you. Plus, you don’t have to pay extra for fuel – it’s included in your moving quote. The most exciting part to me is that U-Pack’s prices are comparable to truck rental! This means you can still get a low rate without driving a moving truck. It’s clear that U-Pack makes more sense and is certainly the better deal, so get yourself a real bargain by moving with U-Pack today.

Rick, I'm sorry the rate is not what you expected. Keep in mind that U-Pack is designed for moving long-distance, and will not be cost effective for local moves. If you have any questions on different ways to save on moving, please let me know. I'll be happy to help!

U-Pack is a great service for folks. In my moving business I have often been called to help load/unload and ABF trailer. A great service from a great company, and a very good and afford alternative to U-Haul or Penske.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for visiting the U-Pack blog! U-Pack is actually a you-pack, we-drive alternative to truck rental that's designed for long distance/out-of-state moves. I'm so sorry for any confusion!

Are your trailers air-ride or is that an option.Would like to re-locate to Maine.We have alot of antiques.With todays roads and spring ride it would be rough,Kevin.

Kevin, Thank you for visiting the U-Pack blog! Great question. U-Pack trailers are 28' and pulled cross-country in doubles -- they are not air ride. It may be helpful to know that U-Pack's claim ratio is less than 1%. However, regardless of whether you move in a rental truck, with U-Pack, or in a moving van with air ride suspension, it comes down to how well your belongings are packed and loaded. When you're moving antiques I recommend having experienced packing and loading and unloading services do the work. If you would like to see if labor services are available in your area, please give us a call at 800-413-4799 and be sure to mention that you will be moving antiques. Thanks again!

Hi Dot, I forwarded your comment to a moving specialist to quote for you. They may need a little more information from you (how much your moving and when you're planning to move), so you should receive an email from them shortly. Please let me know if you have questions!

You spend too much time on "Unlimited Mileage". For the most part, that translates to every rental but U-Haul. U-Haul is a nightmare no matter how you slice it. I keep coming back to Penske, unlimited mileage or no: good prices, reliable trucks, reliable service.

Thanks for visiting the U-Pack blog, Penny. While this post is meant to cover rental truck options with unlimited mileage, you might want to check out this post that answers questions about all of the truck rental options (including Penske): What is the cheapest moving truck rental?. Or even this post: Penske Truck Rental Compared to U-Pack Moving. There are a lot of differences that may surprise you!
