How necessary is it to rent a truck for moving?

 

When you want to move your home or office, getting a truck for making that move form Gold Coast Truck Rentals is a sound and very cost-effective option. But many people wonder just how necessary it is to rent a truck for your DIY moving experience. Here are some points to consider:

  • One trip move

If you get a truck from Gold Coast Truck Rentals of an appropriate size you can put all your stuff in it and make only one trip. Ask the guys there to help you work out the best sized truck for your moving requirements. This is especially important if you’re travelling a long distance when moving so you only make one trip. Trying to move in a small van or SUV can end up costing more than hiring the right sized truck to start with

  • One way rentals

If traveling intercity or interstate you can probably arrange for a one way truck rental so you drop the truck at a depot in the place you’re moving to. This can save you a substantial amount of time as you only need to make one trip. Fuel is a major part of the total cost when renting and can cost as much as the truck hire on a long distance trip.

  • Convenience

You can take your time packing your gear and then easily load it into a hire truck when you’re ready to move. Then you can make your way to your destination at a time convenient to you. You can make your own schedule, not having to fit in with anothers

  • Security

Placing all your stuff inside a moving and lockable truck means it will be secure and safe until you reach your destination. All the trucks from Gold Coast Truck Rental are weather proof and lockable, so you can leave your stuff unattended with confidence

  • Loading and unloading

With a rented truck you can solve many of the problems of loading and unloading heavy or difficult items. You have the option of getting a truck with a hydraulic lift or Hiab crane. Trucks are also available with ramps or removable sides to make loading and unloading easier

  • Save wear and tear on your vehicle

Loading and unloading your own vehicle that’s designed primarily as a people mover can cause excessive strain and damage such as scratches and dents. You also run the risk of traffic violations because of the inappropriate loading of a vehicle or overloading. The traffic department can be very intolerant when it spots traffic violations. With a hire truck designed for moving you save your vehicle and can be confident you’re acting within the law.

Using Gold Coast Truck Rentals to provide the right sized, well maintained, late model easy to drive truck to suit your requirements during your DIY move will ensure you have a safe and secure, trouble free trip to any destination around the state or in Australia.
