"Moving from Michigan to Florida was not easy. I worked with Desire she was very helpful and couldn't ask for a nicer person. Efren did a great job packing our stuff. I was really worried about my Christmas scene that I put up every year. It arrived all in one piece. Very thankful for that. The only reason I'm giving them 4.5 on work quality is when they were unpacking our stuff they seemed to be in a big hurry. Still everyone we worked with was very nice and hard workers. I would hire them again if needed."

"The best moving company I’ve ever used—no need to look anywhere else. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!✨After reaching out to several companies in the downtown Chicagoland area, I chose Asher Movers and had the best experience. Ben was fantastic and the staff was highly responsive, and everything was on schedule—better than any other company I’ve worked with. Moving around the holidays, especially with kids, could have been stressful, but I’m incredibly grateful for how smooth this experience was. I was even able to focus on my workout without having to worry about a thing. Special shoutout to Isaiah, Marvin, and Manulo for their exceptional work. The movers were professional, friendly, and they were organized and meticulous with packing. They also did a perfect job assembling my furniture. I’m extremely happy with the entire process and will definitely refer them and use their services again. Highly recommend booking with them!"

"This company is a rip off Tyler the owner son sent a 3 man crew to move me and my family . One of the crew members quit mid move I had told them 10 minutes into the move that this mover was texting and moving slow it caused him and one of the other movers to have words because they new he wasn’t pulling his weight. Meanwhile before they unload the truck with a two man crew they tell me they still are going to charge me for the third man first two hours although he didn’t help saying he was present and they will take 45 dollars of the move in which I ended up having to pay 400 more because they were not done in time because the mover quit and barely helped I would never recommend this company for anyone to use the movers G.O and Jesus were great even in the circumstances they continued to push and get it done ."

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.
