Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right truck size for my move?
Estimate the volume of your belongings by room or box count and compare that to vehicle size guides. When in doubt, opt for a slightly larger truck to avoid multiple trips, and consider maneuverability on narrow streets and steep hills in San Francisco.
What should I check before renting a truck?
Inspect the vehicle for pre-existing damage and take time-stamped photos, confirm fuel and mileage policies, and verify insurance and liability coverage. Also check the rental agreement for mileage limits, fees, required driver qualifications and return procedures.
What factors affect the cost of a truck rental?
Price typically depends on vehicle size, rental duration, mileage, taxes, insurance and any extra equipment like dollies or hand trucks. Rates can also rise during peak moving seasons or for one-way rentals, so get multiple quotes and read the fee details carefully.
