U-Haul and Budget Truck Rentals - Up to 30% Off
This is my first topic posted in the Hot Deals section. This is not really a super amazing deal or anything like that, but, as you know, when you're looking to save some money, anything can help.
I am moving my belongings from Phoenix, Arizona to Denver, Colorado and I was wanting to rent a truck from a renting service to move all of my belongings from the storage unit in a single trip. The price of gas continues to grow and I was dreading the prices that I would have to pay for both the truck and the gas, but I was surprised to find out that it really wasn't that bad.
I received a U-Haul 16" Moving Truck for $150.00 with roughly 1,000 miles discounted from $188.00 with about 850 miles. My total discount was 30% off the normal price.
U-Haul [uhaul.com] is one of the most well-known truck rental agencies. They are located nationwide and they would be the simplest for a move, but their prices and their mileage are far from being the best, so a friend recommended me Budget Truck Rental [budgettruck.com] with better prices, mileage, and hefty deposits and fees for anyone under the age of 24; additionally, Budget Truck Rental offers a 10% discount on its regular fee [budgettruck.com] for one-way movers! In addition, there is a 15% discount and 20% discount from my movers' packet that stacks with the 10% discount!
I wanted to stick with U-Haul to avoid the deposits and fees from Budget Truck Rental, so I called them up and price matched the Budget Truck Rental estimate: the 10% off, the 20% off, the price, and the mileage — everything went through perfectly. U-Haul does not have any heavy fees or deposits for drivers, so, like I said, this is an ideal move to make if you're trying to watch your cost or already had a deal with U-Haul.
To summarize, please refer to the following model:
I realize that this is not a big secret or anything like that, but I searched over the forums and found very little for Slick Dealers that might be moving, so I thought that I would post this little guide. I hope that it helps someone!

If you call your local U-Haul, Budget, Ryder, etc., they are often able to reduce where the national 1-800 won't. I got my rental down another almost $400 by just playing the two local guys against each other. Had a reservation at both places, called to cancel at U-Haul, told them Ryder was cheaper, they beat them. Called Ryder to cancel, they beat U-Haul price. Well worth the 10 minutes on the phone. This was after haggling down the 1-800 people.

Just not my day i guess..:p
U-Haul quotes me $321 (10' truck)
Budget quotes me $258 (10' truck) with the 20% off coupon
Penske quotes me $328 (12' truck) with web discount
All including $5 enviro fee but not tax.
The Budget deal looks great and I don't get stuck with the 24 year old fees. Hoping this deal thread evolves... I haven't looked into price matching with Penske.
They're simple to install. Your car already has the threaded holes, they send you the bolts with the hitch. Just line-up the holes and screw the bolts in.
$189 1150 miles 3 days with U-Haul, Friday morning pick-up on 14 March.
Originally, U-Haul was $314. Budget, with the 20% coupon was $258, Penske was $328 with the 10% online reservation bonus. Penske offered an extra $25-$50 off if you provided your e-mail for offers and called them.
Budget has a $150 deposit which is waived if you pay with credit card and also a 3 dollar a day surcharge for maintenance upkeep or something.
Penske wouldn't price match Budget's quote, saying it's too low. I canceled my reservation with Penske there and then.
U-Haul offered $232. I accepted and tried to cancel my Budget reservation, but then Budget countered with $223. I then tried to cancel with U-Haul thinking Budget had better trucks overall anyways. U-Haul then offered $189. I asked the service rep to send me an e-mail confirming the rate. He accepted and I then asked to confirm if this reservation guarantees me a truck and he answered yes. Budget wouldn't beat that, so I canceled (beware of the $100 fee for short notice 48 hour cancellation policy).
I haven't gotten an e-mail, but it was an exciting 20 minutes on the phone. U-Haul had 8 minute average wait on cancellation calls and Penske and Budget were both near instant. Budget was odd since they answered so quick and there wasn't any menu that I thought I had the wrong number.
