The quoted price for a 17-foot U-Haul truck is around $2,448.00. When you add sales tax, fuel, and damage protection, the cost to rent the moving truck one way goes up to $3,541.25 ($752 for fuel, $135 for Safemove coverage, $5.00 environmental fee, and $201.25 for sales tax). With this rental, instead of unlimited mileage; you get 7 days and 2,531 miles to complete your move.
In truth, renting one of these 9-foot vans or 10-foot trucks will probably cost you at least double or triple the amount advertised on the vehicle. And, if you are dropping the rental off at another U-Haul location, there is an inclusive flat rate for which there is no discount for unused days or mileage. Hereâs a look at what the $19.95 excludes and how it may all add up in a very consumer-unfriendly fashion: 1  Mileage: Rack up 50 miles between pickup and drop-off, and youâre looking at an added mileage cost of $29.50 for the van (at 59 cents a mile) and $44.50 for the truck (at 89 cents a mile). ( 1 Theoretically, U-Haul arrived at these specific mileage rates so that it could charge â and advertise â the $19.95 base fee.)
