"I woulid give this a NEGATIVE 100 if possible. This is the worst experience of my life. First they said they don't subcontract out their work, they use their own employees and vehicles, which was a bold faced lie. They then got a contractor whom they have had known theft problems with and let him into my home. This guy took my belongings to an undisclosed location and then HELD THEM FOR RANSOM. He called me several times asking for money and also asked PFM for money before he would even allow access to my belongings. Over the next 3 months my property was held 'somewhere in the midst'. This wasn't just one person, it was many families over a few states and PFM kept quiet about it. They even stopped answering my calls for awhile until the police were involved. This is a known case in Colorado and many other states. When i finally did get my property 3 months after scheduling it, the most valuable pieces were missing and much of my property was damaged.... to the tune of over $87,000. "

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.
