How to Hire a Truck for Rental in Auckland

Moving creates a lot of excitement; it’s a great feeling to start out life in a different place. The flip side of moving is that no one likes to have to carry furniture outside and load them in a car. Finding good truck rentals can also be one big nightmare. It’s important to ask yourself the following questions before hiring the services of truck rentals.

  Regarding the car and the load:

1.      How long do you intend to hire the truck?

2.      What are the things you want moved?

3.      What the total weight of your load is?

4.      What amount of space do you require?

5.      What are the dimensions of the largest item you want moved?

  Tips on the agency you will choose.

1.      Do an extensive research on truck rentals and ensure that you at least call 5 truck rentals before picking one.

2.      Enquire about their storage capacity to see if it matches your needs.

3.      Ask about their dimensions.

4.      How long can they rent you the truck and when are their pick up and drop off times?

5.      How far can the trucks go and what is their mileage?

6.      Ask if there are any hidden costs to be incurred.

7.      Ask if they offer discounts and other travel accessories.

  Ensure that you get the vehicle you hired; there are also factors to consider when you either go to pick up or drop the rental.

1.   Ensure that you call the company prior to your traveling date to confirm your booking.

2.   Ask if the vehicle is ready and has been serviced.

3.   Go through the contract with the agency to ensure that you understand all costs.

4.   Ensure that you do not get a raw deal; the car you ordered should be what you’re        picking.

5.   Ensure that you honor all the contract agreements.

Ensure that you get a new vehicle; hiring a truck that is 10 years old may lead to a mechanical failure along the way. If you have heavy furniture, most truck rental offer loading and offloading services at an extra cost. Also check on the mileage and gas level of the vehicle before leaving the agency.

Go through all the details on final time with the rental agency representative and ensure that you’re aware of the drop off times and how much they will charge if you return the vehicle late.
