Your Guide To Choosing The Right Rental Truck

Is it your first time hiring a truck rental in Havertown? If so, then you have come to the right place. 

Choosing the right size moving truck is as crucial as having a safe and pleasant DIY move.

You’ve spent days planning your move and packing up your stuff. You may have spent endless thoughts on having any loose ends as you want everything to be perfect!

All you need now is a rental truck. Here’s how you can find the best deal for the right size truck!

4 Steps To Choosing The Right truck Rental - 

1. Measure Your Move 

You start with the big items and then suddenly you realize how much stuff you have kept hidden in the basement. It’s difficult to believe how much stuff you can really be hauling!

You start with a small truck but it doesn’t take much time to realize that your estimation was completely wrong. If it’s your first time renting a truck, don’t underestimate the bulk nature of your stuff.

There’s an estimation that we’ve prepared based on our previous customer’s experience. You’ll need a….

• 12-15 foot rental truck: 2 bedrooms or slightly more

• 15-20 foot rental truck: up to 3 bedrooms

• 30-foot rental truck: more than 4 bedrooms

You can also use cubic feet as an estimation as follows - 180-200 cubic feet of space per truck for a completely furnished room.

2. Driver 

If you plan to keep a driver, then make sure that the driver is at least 21 years old. It’s mandatory that you make sure that the rental company has you backed up appropriately under the specified guidelines.

Any noncommercial driver between 21 - 25 years of age has certain restrictions. To know more you can call (610) 874-0204

3. Costs

The costs you deal with include sales tax, damage protection, tolls, the fuel that make renting a truck in Havertown more expensive than you first estimated.

Choosing the right company can help you save the other costs and if you choose the right day you can truly save a lot on your costs.

For example, the difference between renting a truck in Havertown on a weekday in the middle of the month versus the last day of the month can be a lot!

If your stuff doesn’t account for much and you’re moving in your locality, then you can hire two small trucks for the same job to save some costs. 

4. Parking Space

Trucks are basically designed to fit the width of a standard regular parking space. There may be times when you need extra space while moving.

Check the dimensions of the truck + additional space required for the ramp to get your items inside the truck. 

The trucks we provide come with their own ramp extension with the payload capacity provided.
