Author: There is no way around it moving is expensive. Unless you get rid of all of your stuff so you don’t have to move it. Most of us aren’t going to go to that extreme to save money on our moves. So what can you do to make your move with a one way truck cheaper? Here are a few ideas to save money on your next move.
Move against the Grain
Moving against the grain isn’t something that you can control it is just that you are moving in a direction that is opposite of the direction most everyone else is moving during that time. For a long time now most people in the US have been moving south. This means that if you happen to be moving north you might be able to get your one way truck cheaper because the company needs to get more of there moving trucks back north for those that are moving south.
Shop Around for Drop off Locations
This made a difference of at least a couple hundred dollars in my last move. We rented a one way truck to move from one state to another. Because we had a person at the company that was willing to look at our entire truck drop off options we were able to save money by driving about an hour from our new home. We paid more in gas and miles, but saved even more. It was worth it.
Be Flexible With Your Dates
If you are really firm on your moving dates that you will have to pay a premium. If you can shop some dates to see what is the least expensive than you will save money on your one way truck. Don’t be afraid to ask if some dates or days of the week are less expensive. If the person on the phone is unwilling to work with you than ask to talk to someone else or just go to a different moving truck company. Customer service is an indicator of how a company is going to be to work with.
