Truck Rental
Truck rental is a very big cost in local or long-distance moves. Most truck rental facilities will also offer moving pads and blankets, but these will be at an additional cost.
The truck, depending on the size, may be very difficult to drive in the city, and you will need to ensure you have the correct insurance. You will also need to schedule a truck rental well in advance, and you may need to put down a deposit to hold the vehicle.
Keep in mind, you will also need to pay for fuel for the truck, and the rental will be based on the number of days you need the truck.
Moving Expertise
Top relocation services use trained, screened and professional movers. These individuals know how to move furniture and items, the correct way to wrap and pad the items and how to load the truck to prevent damage in transit.

It will also be important to get friends or family to help with the move, and there may even be the need to take time off work. Adding up all these expenses makes moving companies in Durham, NC, a very good option.
