#Budget moving truck rental vancouver driver#
However, if the truck is less than 5500kg GVW y ou are charged as a regular vehicle for the first 20' ($57.50), and then each additional foot is $6.50.Īre you comfortable driving with a trailer attached to a moving truck? Realistically if you are even a semi-competent driver you will be fine, but it might become a bit of a pain if you are moving to downtown Vancouver where you have a narrow laneway to park in and move all of your shit, or if you need to reverse at any point. For commercial vehicles you pay a per foot rate of $6.62 from tip to tail.
The reasoning is that the 10' moving truck from uhaul is the only moving truck they have that is registered for less than 5500kg GVW, which is how BCF measures what is or isn't a commercial vehicle. The way we did it which may or may not work for you and can potentially be more of a pain than it is worth is to rent the 10' moving truck and then also a trailer (open or closed). I actually just did this in the summer, and also may have potentially used to work for said ferry provider (don't me lol). (highlight of those calls was being told that i should've paid extra to return the truck on a day that the only uhaul vendor in town wasn't closed. I have a fiery burning hatred for Uhaul after my last move and i'm pretty sure i'll just sell whatever internal organs i can in the future to avoid using them, even dropping off the truck was an enormous pain in the ass that took three phone calls to sort out. visit whatever location your renting the truck from to confirm that they allow for pickup before their store is open (Uhaul told me my pickup was ready at 8:30 like i'd requested and when i got to the place and tried to sign in, it told me i'd have to wait for the store to open at 10 to actually pick up the truck.) it cost me nearly 700 to use a uhaul to move to campbell river from Vic and it was a gong show the entire way.
Consider yourself lucky in that the truck is only costing you 500.
