The $19.95 truck rental marketing is basically a financial trap
I feel so stupid for falling for this again. needed to pick up a heavy couch from fb marketplace and a dining set a couple towns over last week, so I figured id just grab one of those "cheap" u-haul pickups. By the time I returned it 3 hours later, the bill was almost $90 because of the ridiculous per-mile charge, mandatory fees, and taxes. the base price is a complete illusion if you actually have to drive anywhere
Needed a truck again yesterday for a massive load of mulch and just refused to get scammed again. ended up renting a beat up 2012 tacoma off turo for like 45 bucks flat for the entire day. Came with 150 miles included so I didnt have to watch the odometer like a hawk or stress in traffic trying to beat an hourly return window
if youre just moving a few craigslist finds or doing yard work, those standard moving agency rentals are just draining your wallet with hidden fees for no reason at all.
