mike… budget is about the same price. The tow is actually a bit more expensive. ---

From experience 1. Do NOT use Uhaul, if you must use a truck, use Penske, the best trucks, and usually one of the cheapest. 2. GET THE INSURANCE, regardless of what other coverage you think you have, it really is a no questions asked thing if you fuck up the truck. 3. Don’t rent a truck. (maybe this should have been #1) but driving a rental suck cross country sucks. It sucks even more if you have to tow a car. What can you do? It’s even CHEAPER to use something like ABF’s U-Pack service. I’ve used it several times and trust me. Someone else bringing your shit down, driving your car down yourself, and it costing less = the friggin win. ---

If you’re going to rent a moving van why not just get a trailer and tow the M with you? Ryder I know rents tandem axle trailers with their trucks. ---

If you are trying to do it cheap, it doesn’t involve shipping your car, I can promise you that. Cheap = UPack + Udrive your own car If for some reason you’re a nancy and worried about your car, your next best bet is probably to tow it. ---

Aaron, You could get one of those moving P.O.D.S. and pack up all your stuff in that thing, then they will ship it down to FL and you can drive your car down. When Gian moved to NC that’s what he did, I think it cost him $600 to have that POD thing shipped. ---

moves to FL suck for renting trucks. I used to work for Budget, and the prices are ridiculous because they have too many trucks goin down, and not enough comin back, and customers pay the premium for that. ---
