4 Tips for Choosing
a Truck Rental Company
While
there can be a multitude of truck rental companies to choose from for your next
do-it-yourself move, today you have more ways than ever to compare their
services and costs.
Your
first instinct may be to pick the one with the lowest price, but be sure to
factor in service and dependability — a decision to move on the cheap may wind
up costing you in the end.
With
that in mind, here are a few tips for choosing a truck rental company that will
suit your needs and your budget.
Ask
People You Trust
Good
news travels fast but bad news travels faster. Ask your friends and family if
they have any moving-truck company recommendations or horror stories. If you
can find a trusted opinion on a truck rental, you will narrow your choices
right away.
Research!
Go
online to look for reviews of rental truck companies that operate in your area.
See if they have had complaints listed against them with the Better Business
Bureau. Did they respond adequately and take care of the customers or did they
ignore their complaints? Are there any common problems reported with the
company’s equipment or services?
Call
the Companies
Calling
rental companies will give you a better idea of how they treat potential
customers. Ask for a free quote and find out exactly what the quote entails. If
the company is reputable, it will provide the information you need with no
hesitation and no questions asked.
Get
a Binding Quote
When
you request a quote, ask the company for a binding quote. This type of quote
legally binds the company to the price they gave you and they can’t increase
it. A reputable rental company should have no problem providing a binding
quote. This quote will also give you the peace of mind in knowing your rental
costs before you sign the contract.
