Penske Truck Rental
Newer, better-maintained trucks and stronger roadside support than most DIY rivals — the pick for long one-way hauls.
We don't run our own price database — quotes depend on weight, date, and distance, so the honest number comes from the provider. These marketplaces pull real, current quotes for your route in a couple of minutes.
Newer, better-maintained trucks and stronger roadside support than most DIY rivals — the pick for long one-way hauls.
The widest DIY network in the US — a truck is almost always available near you. Cheapest option if you drive and pack yourself.
Lowest sticker price among the national DIY chains. Inventory is thinner outside major metros, so book early.
They drop a container, you load it on your schedule, they drive it. A middle path between DIY and full-service — and you never drive a truck.
You pack a trailer or cube; ABF Freight drives it. Often cheaper than PODS for long distance because you pay only for the space you fill.
The largest full-service franchise network. Quality varies by location, but they handle the whole move so you lift nothing.
Handles complex long-distance and interstate moves end to end, including packing and in-transit storage. Best for big or cross-country jobs.
A truck rental + labor (HireAHelper-style) is cheapest for short or light moves; a full-service van line is easier for long hauls. The marketplaces quote both so you can weigh it.
Any number you get is an estimate until a provider inspects your inventory. Final cost moves with weight, season, and stairs — always click through for a binding bid.
