I used Budget most of the time and if you call 30 day or more in advance
and on a Sunday you get a discount on the everyday price. My last rental
from them was $1024 (without a trailer) most times
it's close to $1200
for 7 days and 1500 free miles for a one way rental. They
way better
trucks than U-haul does and I have rented from them also.

Subject: Suggestions for hauling Computer Garage from Beaverton, OR to
Yates Center, KS?
We're now in the planning phases for moving Jim Willing's Computer
Garage
from Oregon to Kansas. We're currently looking
for the best equipment
option for moving.
Jim says he probably needs a 24 foot truck. He's currently looking at
U-Haul, which is always a cheap solution, but he's stuck right now
hassling with them over some issues from a prior moves where the
trucks
broke down (U-Haul trucks are deathtraps on wheels).
There are a few other truck rental places we're going to try to get
quotes
from (Ryder is asking around $1,500, we haven't
checked Budget or
Penske
yet), but I was wondering if anyone had any other
suggestions?
Jim's original plan was to load the Computer Garage contents into the
truck and then tow his Suburban from the truck. I am suggesting that
he
rent or even buy a big trailer and use the Suburban to
haul the
trailer.
Jim is going to ask some of these places if they will
rent trailers
one
way (I don't see why not). I think my suggestion
to buy a trailer
would
be cool if he can't since it may be cheaper than
renting a truck, and
he
can always use it for other stuff, or sell it when he
gets back to
Kansas.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
