Whether you need a pickup truck for online pickup, moving equipment or towing a trailer, choosing the right rental company can save time and money.

Key Takeaways Pickup truck rentals can be found online, at in-store rental locations, and at airports.

How Do You Rent a Pickup Truck?

When renting a pickup truck, visiting a local rental company's website and searching for inventory is the easiest way to check whether a pickup truck rental is available near you. While proceeding through the reservation process, you will set up a pickup and drop-off time.

It’s also smart to watch for added costs, such as prepaid fuel options, extended mileage packages, pay-now-and-save pricing, or strict cancellation policies. These extras can increase the overall cost of your rental.

With U-Haul, you can enter your location and view nearby U-Haul® locations that have pickup trucks available. You only need to be 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license to rent a pickup truck. U-Haul pickup trucks are also available with contactless pickup and drop-off with your phone through Truck Share 24/7.

When you make your reservation, no deposit is required, so if you need to cancel, let us know at least 24 hours in advance so the rental truck/trailer can be rented to someone who may need it. U-Haul does not employ prepaying for fuel or “pay now and save” tactics.
