When it comes time for your next move, there are many options to weigh. This decision is especially difficult for people moving or relocating from small homes and apartments. Because traditional moving companies are often too expensive for small to medium sized moves, many people turn to traditional rental companies like Budget, Ryder, or U-Haul. At first glance, U-Haul, Budget, and Ryder appear to be cheap and easy, but when moving day comes, the headaches begin. U-Haul, Budget, and Ryder offer their rental vehicles on a daily rate, often comparable to SMARTBOX’s monthly rental rate. Why not get a SMARTBOX and take your time packing, rather than trying to load and unload all in one day? U-Haul, Ryder and Budget rely on you to come to them both before and after the move. This means that you need to arrange for someone to both drop you off before the move and pick you up after. SMARTBOX takes all of the pressure off of you, allowing you to focus on the loading and unloading, not the transportation itself. Rental vans and trucks can be cumbersome to drive, and even worse, can be a challenge to park. Even if can master these tasks, you must take into account the constant problem of moving your possessions up and down the loading ramp from the truck. The entrance to the SMARTBOX unit sits only six inches off the ground, allowing for a much easier loading and unloading process. Also, U-Haul, Budget, and Ryder often bill you for an additional fuel surcharge or require you to fill the vehicle with gas before you deposit them at the local depot.
