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.
For the record, RCS/RI generally gets Ryder. I have used them as well,
and they are much better than UHaul.
I do not know how much stuff Jim has, or how much time either, but If I
were in the same situation, I would bite the bullet and fly out to Oregon
(the ticket might not be too bad if done in advance) and get a decent
truck one-way.
To save money, he (not sure if he is subscribed to the list) might get a
smaller truck, then pack the remainders for a "partial load" shipment.
There are carriers that will move things quite cheaply, but you might
have to wait a month or two. When I remember thatname of the carrier
(they are used by DoD quite a bit), I will post it.
