"Phenomenal service. Love this company and the men on my crew, especially Alex and his crew who had to help me organize this extremely fast packing and moving from start to finish in 1 and a half days. Wow, they were so caring and patient with me. Many many thanks to these wonderful men and Julia who saved me from a disaster when PODS messed up my moving day. and These gentlemen are beyond professional. They were like angels to me in a terribly stressful and time pressured situation. Thanks to them I got my house sold and can look forward to moving to my dream home with my family. You can bet I will be using them for the long distance part of my move now as well. Thank you Flash Movers for being by my side from beginning to end on those days we thought were impossible to get it all finished.

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.
