When you need to move locally, an easy way to save money and have control is to do it yourself and move your items with Truck Rental. While it can seem like a good idea to do everything yourself, it can be useful to stop and think things through before you get in over your head.
Let’s take a minute to consider what’s involved with renting your truck for the move so you can expertly navigate your move!
Is DIY truck hire really what you want?
There a lot of things to think about when considering hiring a truck, the most essential being: Do I really need to hire a truck at all?
It is crucial to weigh up all of your options before diving straight in! Will you be better off doing it yourself? Or will it be a better idea to hire a professional moving company to do it, so you can sit back and relax?
It’s a classic dilemma which everyone faces early in their move prep. Here a few things to keep in mind when making your decision:
- Cost
- Distance
- Number of items
- Number of specialty items
- Time until move
- Labor
- Safety
- Packing / unpacking


Pick the right truck hire company
So, you’ve decided to do it yourself! Now its time to pick an expert moving truck hire company to help you with your move. There are a number of companies out there, some good, some bad. Make sure you pick a company that will give you the best deal for your needs.
Some things to consider when choosing a company to hire through:
- Check the highest rated moving truck companies in your local area out online. Read the reviews, check their policies and services. Request a quote from a number of them.
- Compare quotes. Don’t just go with whoever you come across first! Take the time to look through the quotes, compare them and find what works best for you.
- Call the company and have a chat, discuss the details of your move with them to try and gauge whether they are the right fit for you.
- Pick the removal truck company which best meets your needs and suits your budget.
Understand truck rental costs
Everyone wants the best truck possible for the lowest price. You should be too. In order to do that you’ll need an understanding of the costs involved for truck rental.
Truck rental companies usually charge a daily or hourly rate. This can often be dependant on the size of the truck. Some truck rental providers will offer a number of kilometres as the base for the move distance. Of course, you can always pay for additional km if needed.
This is again different for national truck rental companies, who may offer unlimited distance when you hire for one-way moves.
The majority of truck rental agencies charge more on weekends, around national holidays and at the beginning and end of each calendar month. The reason for those higher truck rental rates is that the cargo trucks are in high demand during those peak periods.
Most truck rental providers will also charge extra for weekends, on public holidays and at the beginning and end of the calendar month—the reason being a higher truck rental demand during these times.


Choose the right truck rental size
Now that you’ve selected the best company to rent a moving truck from get their advice on what size of moving truck, you will need to hire. This is one of the questions they get asked the most, so you should trust their recommendation unless you have a good reason to disagree with them.

Benefits of a DIY
Price
out of all the benefits that a DIY move offers, the biggest advantage is PRICE. With a DIY, you only need to cover the costs of the rental and any excess fuel charges. Employing a removalist on the other hand will cost you a small fortune. If you’re keen on saving big bucks, hire one of our trucks and do it yourself.
Proper care
when you’re tasked with the transportation of fragile and expensive belongings, only you understand the amount of care that each item must be treated with. Removalists operate on a tight schedule, so items may not be packed, unloaded or transported with the utmost of care.
Flexibility
with DIY, you dictate the timing of your move, which helps to reduce stress. Everything is done according to your schedule and at your pace.
