Know What You Have To Pay When You Make A Pick Up Truck Rental

By Halisse Enmma


Changing residence can both be stressful and costly. For this reason, if you are looking to save money, then you should carefully plan your relocation. Among the important things you should be giving your attention to is transportation. Of course, when it comes to this, making a pick up truck rental is a good bet.

But before you make a truck reservation, you would profit from making yourself informed about the fees that usually go with it. Basically, rates can be charged and as such calculated on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. In addition, different rates would apply to different types and sizes of trucks. Larger trucks will cost more so it is best that you rent the right size to avoid paying more unnecessarily. It would also be worth knowing that when you rent off-peak days, usually from start to midweek, you may be entitled to discounts. In connection to this, try to avoid the rental at the end of the month as demand is higher and so are the rates.

Depending on the rental policy of the company, you may be required to make a down payment that would consist of a portion of the rental rate, taxes and security deposit. A certain amount for the processing fee of the truck rental can also be charged along with this initial cost. Other than these, there are refueling and delivery and pick up fees. You might want to arrange the return of the pick up truck to be made to a branch of the rentals that is close to the new address, to save time, fuel cost and energy.

Considering this, you would be better off making the rental from a big reputable company that has a lot of branches nationwide. Other charges that could apply are: Loss Damage Waiver, Domestic Security Fees, Environmental Recovery Fees and Vehicle Licensing Cost Recovery Fees. Before affixing your signature on the rental agreement, you should ask for a clarification on the fees. Guard against hidden charges while you investigate on the breakdown of the rental cost. If you receive any discounts while you are discussing with the rental staff, make sure they are reflected on the quotes and on the rental agreement. Otherwise, don't sign the contract.

Apart from these fees, you should know that there are other potential charges you can incur. These could increase the total rental cost but you can avoid them if you know what they are. If you are renting through Hertz Equip, make sure you have read its rental policy or at least have asked someone who can orient you on other charges.

Typically, rental companies will charge for late return. This might sum up to a late fee and the daily rate. You might also be asked to pay fee for excessive mileage, if applicable. Similarly, you might have to pay extra if you return a dirty or damaged truck.
