Moving truck rental companies want you to arrive safely, that’s for sure. So with all that’s on your mind during the big move, pay attention to their friendly reminders about safety, and be sure you have all the proper insurance.

Renting a truck for movingWhen renting a truck the first thing to do is to get acquainted with it before you drive it. Understand everything on the instrument panel. Find all the gizmos and switches. See which side of the truck the gas tank door is on. Adjust all the mirrors. Know the maximum height of the truck. 

On the road, keep your eye out for everything you will pass under: trees, bridges, overhangs at gas stations and drive-up facilities. 

Stay well behind other vehicles as your stopping distance is much longer for a truck that’s loaded and much heavier than a car.

If you want to pass another vehicle but would need to exceed the speed limit for loaded trucks, then don’t.

Buy truck rental insurance. You want a limited-damage waiver which will exempt you from liability for any damage or loss to the truck or towing equipment, even if you’re at fault. Also consider buying personal accident and towing insurance. Check with your agent first, or get it from the moving truck rental company.
