According to research from Oncue, the average cost for an in-state move is $980, with interstate moves averaging a whopping $4100. Therefore, many individuals opt for a moving truck rental as a low-cost alternative to hiring a full moving service. In its new guide, Movers.com offers practical tips for determining truck size requirements, according to the volume of belongings being transported. Readers are particularly advised to rent a truck 10% -15% larger than the predicted size to ensure there is enough space for all items being moved.

Before committing to a rental truck company, the guide advises readers to compare quotes from a minimum of three providers to secure optimal rates. Costs will vary due to several factors including size requirements, moving distance, rental length, and the time of year. For example, trucks being rented during the peak summer season will have higher rates than those required at less popular times of the year, the expert notes.

Movers.com highlights the importance of performing comprehensive research before renting a moving truck service. Individuals should be asking questions related to cost (including surcharges), special offers, and cancellation policies, as well as insurance options in case of accidents. “Ask about your insurance options and the cost of each plan, making the optimal choice for the distance of your move and the value of your cargo,” says the guide. “Check with your homeowner's insurance for possible coverage of your goods before purchasing a policy from the truck rental agency.”

Families planning a move are also advised to complete a background check of the company to ensure they are legitimate. Online customer reviews can provide invaluable insight into the reputability of a company and its business practices.

Once a reputable rental truck company has been chosen, a reservation should be made in ample time, explains the guide. “Truck rental reservations should be made at least two weeks in advance. However, if you are moving during peak season (June through September) you should reserve the vehicle at least one month in advance. Moving services are in high demand during the summer months and may book up quickly.”
