How it works
Self-drive moving trucks for consumers alongside a large commercial rental and leasing fleet. One-way rentals include unlimited miles.

One way: Yes, unlimited miles within a set number of days
Good for
- A one-way move in the US or Canada fits when you want unlimited miles inside a set number of days.
- A small load of one to two rooms fits the 12 ft gas truck, and two to three rooms fit the 16 ft, which is the smallest that can tow a car.
- A local round trip fits when a daily rate plus a per-mile fee matches the job and you pay for fuel on top.
Where people get caught out
- The 22 ft and 26 ft trucks run on diesel, which not every station sells.
- The days on a one-way rental cover pickup, loading, driving, unloading, and return.
- The 22 ft and 26 ft trucks run on diesel, which not every station sells, and EIA lists diesel at $6.53 a gallon for the week of 2026-09-21.
- The days on a one-way rental cover pickup, loading, driving, unloading, and return, so that set number of days has to hold the whole trip.
