Moving Company Versus Rental Truck – Which Should You Choose?

If you’re planning your move within or out of the Denver area, you are probably weighing your options when it comes to the most affordable and efficient way to complete the move. You may look at the cost of renting a moving truck and compare it to the cost of hiring a moving company, and think that renting the truck is by far the cheaper option. However, simply comparing these two prices is not the most accurate way to assess your move’s true cost.

If you opt to rent a truck, then you will still need help loading boxes and furniture onto the truck, whereas when you hire a moving company, the movers will handle this entirely. Lifting heavy boxes and furniture is not only arduous, but if you do it incorrectly, you also could injure yourself. Even if you manage to get everything on the truck successfully, it takes skill to properly load a moving truck in a way that ensures the safety of the items during transport. What’s more, a rental truck is likely not going to be equipped with the advanced features that a professional moving truck is. For example, moving trucks have air ride suspension that prevent items from toppling when the truck drives over bumps and rough roads, and lift gates to make loading and unloading a safer and easier process. Finally, you must consider the cost of your time. Professional movers can typically load and unload a household’s worth of items in a fraction of the time that it takes unexperienced people to do the same.
