"Hello my name is Mitch. When a company does as good a job as this one they deserve a good report. I hired this company to move the contents of my motorcycle dealership. It took four tractor trailers in all. I'm not going to lie, I was reluctant in using a company like this but in the end, I couldn't have chosen a better company. They were very professional to deal with and their services were above par, I would say. Nothing in my transport was damaged. I definitely got my money's worth. I just completely recommend this company all the way around. They are a good quality outfit."

United Prime Van Lines Corp, is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"I booked United Prime Van Lines for an interstate move and canceled well within the 7-day window listed in their own contract. A representative told me I?d receive a full refund, but instead I was met with manipulative tactics designed to delay, confuse, and ultimately coerce me into signing a release form just to get my money back. They are now refusing to return my deposit unless I remove reviews and sign legal paperwork?even though they never provided any service. This is unethical and potentially illegal under consumer protection and military relief laws. They also failed to provide a fully executed copy of the contract, yet are using a screenshot of my info to claim it?s binding. When I pointed out that their own cancellation clause supports my right to a refund, they pivoted and demanded silence in exchange for reimbursement. Their pride in being listed on Angie?s List does not reflect the unprofessional and borderline predatory experience I had."

New York City Moving at Brooklyn Prices. We offer guaranteed price moving quotes and free wardrobe boxes with your local move. Business opened in 2006 in our office in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
"Their price was the best and I was skeptical after reading other reviews where people said they increased the price upon arrival. I inquired about this and my sales rep said this is usually for additional items not included in the quote, which makes sense. As I was packing I called Aaron to add things so there were no surprises at the cost of my move. The guys showed up on time and drove my furniture to my elderly parents' house in Delaware, where they kindly set up the bed at no extra charge. Aaron was wonderful and responsive the whole time. Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend."

"My first time using a moving company. I had to move my mothers stuff out of our house into a nursing home. I had reached out to 4 moving companies by email all at once. OCL Moving Inc was the only one who responded. Omar the owner called not even 30mins later after I sent that email. He was pleasant to talk to, easy to work with and clear on pricing. He was also professional and informational, he made sure we had the proper paperwork lined up in order to move into the nursing home. Which I did not know was needed until he mentioned. His team called before they headed over and came in on time, and were polite and friendly. Omar stopped by himself to check in. Everything was packed up carefully and moved out & in carefully. Directions were followed well, his team placed the bed and night stands where I needed. The whole process went smoothly. I will most definitely be recommending this business to others as well as using them again for future needs. Thank you to Omar and your team, you made a stressful emotional task a thousand times easier and better."

Midweek days, particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays, offer lower rental rates due to decreased demand. Weekend rentals often command premium pricing, and truck availability becomes more limited toward the end of the week. Early morning reservations provide better selection options. If your schedule allows for flexibility, planning a midweek move can result in notable savings and improved vehicle availability.
Most consumer rental trucks fall below 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, meaning a standard driver's license is sufficient in most jurisdictions. However, these vehicles handle quite differently from passenger cars. Before embarking on your journey, familiarize yourself with the truck's dimensions, turning radius, and blind spots. If you're uncomfortable with larger vehicles, consider practicing in an empty parking lot before navigating busy roads.
Moving trucks often cost less than portable storage containers for similar distances, with truck rentals ranging from $1,000 to $3,500 for long-distance moves. Portable containers offer the advantage of not having to drive a large vehicle and allow for flexible loading/unloading schedules, but this convenience comes at a higher price point. If budget is your primary concern and you're comfortable driving larger vehicles, a truck rental will be more economical.
Fuel expenses depend on your travel distance, the truck's fuel efficiency, and current gas prices. Most moving trucks achieve 10 to 20 miles per gallon when loaded. For accurate budgeting, calculate your route's total mileage, divide by the expected MPG, and multiply by the current fuel price in areas you'll be traveling through. Maintaining steady speeds and avoiding aggressive driving can help maximize fuel economy during your journey.
Most rental companies charge an additional day's rate for late returns, which will add to your total cost. Some companies also assess extra mileage charges if you exceed your estimated distance. If delays appear inevitable, contact the rental office promptly to discuss extending your agreement. Early communication may help minimize additional fees and prevent complications with subsequent reservations.
Booking your truck several weeks before your move date secures better rates and ensures availability of your preferred vehicle size. During peak moving season (summer months) or if you require a larger truck, making arrangements further in advance is advisable. Last-minute reservations often cost more and may leave you with limited options, particularly for popular truck sizes. Planning ahead reduces stress and often results in more favorable rental terms.
