Guest blogger, Mallory Millican, one of U-Pack's moving experts and corporate relocation specialists, compares the benefits of using U-Pack to renting a truck. Why Rent a Truck? Let U-Pack drive If you're trying to save money, you may intuitively think you have to rent a truck. And the thought of renting a truck may cause concerns that make you dread moving. Am I choosing the correct size rental truck? Can I drive that far in a truck that I'm not familiar with? Once I pay for gas, taxes and insurance, how much is it really going to cost to rent a truck? With U-Pack, you don't have to worry about those things. You only pay for the space you use, ABF does the driving, and fuel, taxes and liability coverage are included in your price. Here's how it works…ABF brings out an empty moving trailer or moving container. You load your items, and only pay for the space you use. ABF picks it up and drives it to your new home. You unload. That means no worries about renting a truck that's too big and paying for more space than you need, or renting a truck that's too small and having to leave items behind. Since U-Pack only charges based on the space you use, you save money by using less space, and you can always add more space if you need it. You can't do that when you rent a truck! It may come as no surprise that a long distance move starts to feel much longer when you rent a truck and have to drive hundreds of miles in its compact cab. Add children or pets to that scenario and it's anything but fun. And, if in the back of your mind, you worry about the possibility of a break down, leaving you stranded, you may be better off with a service where you don't have to drive. U-Pack provides experienced drivers who take care of moving cross country and safely delivering your belongings to your new destination— at a price that compares to truck rental. And, there are no extra charges. The price includes taxes, fuel and the driver. Get a free moving quote and compare the cost of renting a truck to the cost of ABF U-Pack doing the driving for you. |
