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.
