Moving on a budget can be tough. When considering self-moving options there are several things to keep in mind.
Most rental truck companies charge by the truck. Ask about mileage or fuel charges to ensure an accurate quote. Moving trucks don't typically get great gas mileage. Use a fuel calculator to determine what to add to the quote you receive. One is available at upack.com.
Don't forget to plan for tolls along the way, carry cash. Choosing a company that charges by the amount of space used means that you pay by the linear foot rather than by the truck. That's a good way to save money.
Efficient loading - high and tight - can save you even more. Will you need to purchase moving supplies and boxes with your budget? There are other options to consider such as storage and moving labor.
