Everyday Uses for a Pickup Truck Rental

The “you’re going to need a bigger boat” moment. Not everyone owns a pickup truck, but at one point or another, everyone needs one. Pickup truck rentals serve as a resource for when that time comes, and the uses go far beyond moving.

Whether it’s towing a camper, hauling landscaping supplies, or bringing home a new appliance, a pickup truck rental gives you the power and space exactly when you need it.

Pickup Truck Uses

Landscaping and Home Improvement Projects

A pickup truck rental allows you to fit the remodeling and landscaping materials you need and avoid those high delivery fees. The back of a truck will fit the materials for that gardening project as well. Bags of soil, gravel, decorative stones, and everything else leave a dirty trail in your car.

Special Events

Nothing really compares to bringing that real Christmas tree home for the holidays. The fun, family event can take a turn when the perfectly sized tree for the living room is far too big for the car.

Instead of settling for the tree you didn’t want, a rental pickup truck is one click away with 24/7 Truck Share. The versatility of a pickup truck lets you lug countless items for a low cost.

Bringing Home that New Appliance

Need a new washer and dryer? Did the old reliable grill finally give out? What about a TV upgrade for movie night, or a great find from an online marketplace? Retailers may charge a delivery fee for any appliance, including waiting for movers and hoping they don’t break anything in your home.

A pickup truck rental lets you bring home that new appliance on your own time, starting at only $19.95 plus mileage and fees. If you’re planning on making a purchase of an appliance, you can make a pickup truck rental and a dolly reservation at your nearest U-Haul location before you head to the store.

The Parking Lot Party

Tailgating is one of the best ways to enjoy the big game, and a pickup truck rental allows you to do it for an affordable cost. Loading up the grill, coolers, tables, canopy tents, and anything else you may need, while also being the same size as any other truck in the lot, makes game day simple.

Towing Service

Need to tow a trailer, boat, or camper? That’s no problem at all. All U-Haul pickup truck rentals come equipped with a hitch installed for all your towing needs.
