Moving household items MD

Nov. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- So you are planning to move? Do you know that renting a moving truck to move your household items is a very cost effective way to move? You can rent a moving truck to move your household items from anywhere to anywhere else within continental USA. Just like car rentals truck rental companies also maintain fleets of moving trucks or moving vans of various sizes. The rental cost depends on the distance to be covered and the truck size. Below are a few tips that will help you to rent a moving truck.

1.   The first step in renting a moving truck is to determine what size of moving truck or van you will need. To give you a general idea about the size of truck you will need, here are some examples. You will need a 15 footer truck for the contents of three rooms and a 24 footer for that of eight rooms. For smaller loads you can rent a trailer or cargo van.

2. After you have determined the size of the moving truck you need you should then do some research work and comparison shopping. In the US there are several rental truck companies like twins moving. You can get their quotes either online by visiting their websites (http://www.twinsmoving.com) or by phone. The truck rentals are usually fixed on the basis of the number of days and mileage.

3. Once you have decided on the truck rental company you should make your reservations for the date and time you will need the moving truck. Follow up with the company one or two days before the date of moving so that you can be sure that the truck will be available on time and there is no delay.

4. On the day of moving arrive in time at the company's office to pick up the moving truck. As there is some paperwork required you should arrive early so that you pick up the truck in time. Check out the truck for any damages and take note of the odometer and also fuel readings. Get these on record. This is to make sure that you will not be held responsible for anything that preexists.
