Get The Best Price on Moving Trucks

Moving is expensive and there isn’t really a way to get around it. If you have absolutely no money, you might find this article on moving broke a good read. For the rest, let’s try and find you the best price on moving trucks. There is always a deal out there if you look hard enough.

Moving Trucks for Cheap

Choose Time and Date Wisely

Just like hotels and airlines, the time and day that you choose greatly affects the price. You want to do some research and find out which dates and times are cheapest for the moving truck that you need. The summer is always expensive, as it’s when most people have the time off. Try to choose the middle of the week in winter for the absolute rock bottom prices.

Pick up and Drop off

Another great way to save money is to pick up and drop off the moving truck to the same location. There can be a high charge for different location drop-offs. Make sure that you choose a location that’s roughly halfway between your new home and your old home. On top of the savings, you will be glad you don’t have to drive as far after a tiring day of moving.

Shop Around

Not all moving truck companies are made the same. The prices will differ greatly and you should shop around and get some quotes before finally deciding on the moving truck company that is right for you.

Pack Before

Moving trucks are usually priced by the hour or day. By having all your items ready to be put into the truck before you move is key. If you want to waste money by having a truck sit, you are moving wrong. Think of it like this, “Every minute the truck isn’t moving is money being wasted”.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
