When you are moving and need to rent a moving truck, it's important that you know the size of the truck you need. Moving trucks can be very expensive to rent, especially when you are moving a long distance away. It's always best to make sure you have the smallest truck that is still large enough for all of your stuff to save money.
- Search through your house to see how many things you will need to be putting on the moving truck. Make a note of all of the large things in your house like your living room and bedroom furniture. If you have any other large things that will need to be packed you should take note of these as well.
- Call the moving truck rental company that you are planning to use. Ask them what size trucks they have to choose from. Typically they will have several different sizes. In most cases the larger the moving truck's size, the more expensive it will be to rent.
- Ask them which one they suggest using. Normally they can give you a general idea of the size of moving truck you should use by knowing how large the place you are moving out of is.
- Take what the moving truck rental company has told you into consideration. After you have done this, determine if your particular living space fits the description you gave them. For example, if you told them that you are moving out of an 800 square foot one bedroom apartment, then make sure you are accounting for any garage or storage space you may be using. If you do have extra space with more things to move, you should consider renting a moving truck that is one size larger.
