Are you getting ready to move, and you're unsure how you're going to transport all your stuff? Or perhaps you're concerned about the cost of a truck rental? Penske Trucks is here to help with competitive prices on rental trucks and cargo vans. You can explore our fleet of rental vehicles on this page, get a quote for your chosen truck, and learn some valuable tips about moving.
Reserving Your Truck or Cargo Van
Reserving with Penske is a straightforward process that only takes a few minutes. You can use the inquiry form on this page to generate a quote based on your personal requirements. All you need to do is tell us the vehicle size you require, the dates you wish to reserve it, and whether you want to book it for a one-way or round trip. We'll then present you with a quote you can review and accept. You can arrange pickup from your area's closest Penske location.
Once your reservation is confirmed, you can view and edit it online. These features are beneficial if you need to change your reservation by entering new dates or selecting a different truck.
Most moves are easier to complete with a one-way rental. And luckily, there's no shortage of Penske locations where you can easily drop off the truck once your move is complete. We even have attractive incentives for one-way rentals, including no limits on your mileage.
Our Rental Trucks
Our truck rental options include vehicles suitable for large and small moves. The smallest vehicles in our fleet are high-roof cargo vans. These vehicles are ideal if you're moving household items and other belongings from one room. But if you need slightly more space, our 12-foot trucks can carry one to two rooms of items.
On the other hand, our larger truck options are ideal for family moves. A 16-foot moving truck offers enough space for moving a one-bedroom apartment. And our largest trucks measure 22 and 26 feet, respectively. The 22-foot truck can carry belongings from a three- to four-room home, while the 26-foot truck can accommodate items from a home with between five and seven rooms.
Some of our trucks also offer towing options. So, if you can't load everything in the back of the truck, you can hitch up a trailer to ensure you have enough room for your move or pull your camper along at the rear.
Besides truck rentals, you can also rent or purchase moving supplies. These can include boxes, bags, and other items for safely transporting your belongings. You may also want to get your hands on some ties to secure your larger pieces of household furniture.
Why Rent From Penske Trucks?
One of the best things about renting from Penske is that you'll get behind the wheel of a modern, well-maintained truck. Around 8,500 maintenance staff work at 1,000 Penske locations to carry out preventive maintenance on Penske's fleet of trucks and vans. This attention to routine maintenance results in Penske trucks performing well and boasting excellent fuel economy.
Another valuable benefit is Penske's 24-hour support line, where you can get answers to your questions or assistance with a problem. And if something goes wrong while you're on the road, there's also a 24-hour roadside assistance service you can contact. It's much easier to stay relaxed during your move if you know that even if the unexpected occurs, such as a flat tire or mechanical problems with your truck, an auto expert can assist you at any time of the day or night.
Penske stands out from other truck rental companies by offering unlimited mileage on all one-way reservations. So, if you're moving from Texas to another state, you won't have to worry about paying extra for the miles you drive. The deal even allows you to take a break during your long drive, whether to visit relatives or do some sightseeing, without extra mileage costs.
Finally, Penske has helped many families move across the country. If you have questions or concerns about your move, there's no better way to have them answered than by asking our experts.
Incentives for Penske Truck Rentals
You can save 12% or more on our rental prices if you're a AAA member. Other discounts are available for military personnel, veterans, and college students relocating from home. Incentives for college students include a 10% discount on the rental price and waiving of underage surcharges for anyone aged 18 to 23. These benefits are coupled with the standard bonuses of renting from Penske, such as unlimited one-way mileage and round-the-clock assistance.
Tips for a Successful Move
In addition to offering truck rentals, Penske has a lot of helpful advice on how to move. From how to prepare your family before moving day to how to keep your pet safe and pack your things, we're sure you'll find some of our tips and checklists valuable.
One of the most important tips is how best to load your truck. The ideal approach is to create an "I formation" with your heaviest items, then pack your smaller things around them. This approach means placing your heaviest pieces, such as refrigerators and washers, at the front of the cargo box. Then, position dining tables and desks in the middle to create the "I." You can then put soft and bulky items on either side, such as mattresses, beds, and sofas.
Another essential tip about loading your truck is ensuring you have valuable items and things you need to access in the cab. Packing this way will help avoid damaging your valuables if a heavy object moves during the drive.
If you still have questions about the services we offer or are unsure which truck would be best for your needs, don't hesitate to contact us. Our support team at Penske is familiar with all sorts of queries related to the moving process and will be delighted to share their knowledge and experience with you.
