Most truck rental companies provide many different types of trucks and they differ based on size, quality and other factors. The size of truck you need will vary based on how large of a move you are making – for example, if you are moving a 4 bedroom house then you will probably need a 26 foot truck. Always compare the actual cubic space available inside the truck as well as that can differ based on the design of the truck.
Some rental truck companies also have higher quality trucks, usually because the age of their fleet of trucks is younger. In addition, they will have newer cabins with air conditioning or cruise control. Also, it might be critical to get a truck that can load very heavy items for you in the back of the truck (automatic lifts) or perhaps sit closer to the ground. It is always very important to check on the quality of the truck before you rent it. Check to make sure the tires are new or in good shape, that the brakes are fully operational including the parking break, that all of the lights work including the directional signals, etc.
Quick Tip– Rental companies often provide information at the location or on the website about all of their different types of trucks. They also have guides that can help you select the type of truck you need based on your type of move.
