Renting A Truck

Here are some links to help you find a rental truck and some recommendations on having a smooth rental experience. If there is a site out there that you have found to be very helpful, please let us know.

When reserving a truck, you have to be careful chooseing who you rent with.  My clients continue to report a great deal of problems with U-Haul.  From what I hear, the customer service continues to be way below average, the trucks are inferior to their counterparts at other firms and I have heard of problems with unexplained charges. 
 
Unfortunately U-haul has the largest fleet of moving trucks in the area.  If you are moving during a peak time (end of the month), you may have no other option but to rent with them.  If you do choose to rent with them, I strongly advise the following:
 
  • Make sure you have a printed rental confirmation sheet.
  • Confirm the reservation a few days before the day of your move.
  • Go in to the rental office first thing on the morning of your move, since they have a reputation for overbooking their trucks. 

How much to tip the movers is one of the most common questions I am asked. As someone in the moving industry, I am not very objective with regards to this topic. Moving is one of, if not the hardest service industry job there is and tipping, at least something is a must. The question then becomes, how much?  <br> <br>To try and answer this question objectively I have included independent guidelines on tipping below. I have also included a link to where I found the information, as I think it is a valuable resource. Note: To find the section on tipping movers, scroll down approximately three fifths of the page and find the section 'Tipping Movers'.  I hope this helps!

Everything went great today.  Your guys were wonderful and timely, and where my son moved was not the easiest place to move into. Thanks for everything. -Paula"
