I have been looking into the best way to move all of my stuff for residency. I was surprised that some of the lesser-known rental agencies the cheapest option. I recommend looking at the quotes for all of the companies to see who is the least expensive. All offer car carriers to tow your car behind their rental truck.
Rental trucks:
- Budget Truck Rental
- Penske Truck Rental
- Ryder (one way truck rental NOT available in U.S.)
- U-Haul (trailers to attach to car/truck also available)
If you’re not into driving a rental truck for hundreds of miles, there is also the option to put all your stuff in a rented storage container (delivered to your home) that the company will then drive to your new destination. It’s much more expensive than renting a truck and doing it yourself, but it may be an option for some.
Self-storage containers:
- PODS (Portable On Demand Storage)
- SAM (Store and Move)
- There are many more options, but I’m not familiar with any others and don’t want to recommend them.
