Moving Cheap

How do you know whether to rent a truck or a self-service storage container for you move?  Things to think about are cost versus how far you are traveling, whether you want to drive a big truck (possibly with another car following), and how much freedom you want as you travel.  You always know where your stuff is with a truck, but you have to drive your stuff everywhere as you travel, especially if you don’t have a car with you.  Gas cost can add up quickly with a truck.

With a self-service container, it is usually easier to pack than a truck, you can forget about it once it has been picked up, and it can be stored long-term for a fee.  You may have problems finding a place for the container, and may have HOA restrictions against a container, even though it’s your own house.

Best shop around for prices and convenience, and determine just what you want to deal with as you move.
