More Ways to Save on a Budget Truck

Book mid-week

AARP discounts are biggest Sunday through Thursday, and weekday rates are often lower in general.

Avoid month-end

The last and first days of the month are peak moving days with the highest demand.

Right-size the truck

A truck that’s too big costs more in rent and fuel; one that’s too small means a second trip.

Return it full and clean

Refueling and cleaning charges can quickly cancel out your coupon savings.

Compare U-Haul

Price the same dates with U-Haul. Budget’s discounts often make it cheaper for one-way moves.

Consider a container

If you’d rather not drive, a PODS container can cost about the same. Save 10% with code WEBSAVE6.
