With just a week until their move, they had to scramble to get the right hitch. Unfortunately, there was an error at the store and the Ruizes were sent the wrong hitch. The bad things about this move weren’t actually U-Haul’s fault, but they’re worth mentioning.įirst, U-Haul allows you to rent trailer hitches for your car if you want, but the Ruizes found a better deal from a third-party hardware company. Like we’ve mentioned, they didn’t own a ton of stuff to begin with, but they still had to sell most of their big furniture before their move. So, renting a trailer saved the Ruizes over $1,000, but they did have to downsize substantially before it became a realistic option for them. When we requested a quote for the 10-foot truck rental with the same pickup and dropoff locations as the Ruizes, our quoted price was $1,782.
2 While double the storage space might seem nice, the truck rental is much more than twice the price. 1įor comparison, U-Haul’s 10-foot moving truck (the smallest size) has 402 cubic feet of storage space. These trailers have about 200 cubic feet of storage space inside. The Ruizes rented a 5-foot by 8-foot trailer for a 7-day and 2500-mile journey. If you can’t bear to part with your luxurious sectional, your canopy bed, or your antique armoire, you should probably just bite the bullet and rent a moving truck. Renting a moving trailer instead of a truck can save you a whole lot of money, but it requires that you take only the essentials.
