Renting trucks: Advice wanted
So, thanks to the continued hibernation of my beloved Lillith, I'm considering the possibility of renting a truck for a day or two over an upcoming weekend. I need to buy some furniture, and the shipping prices I'm finding at most places where I can buy things online are really outrageous.
In order for this to work out in a way that makes sense, of course, I have to find a rental option that will cost me less than shipping would (and that would apparently be about $150, all told). U-Haul seems to be the most reasonable option, with trucks at about $20/day and $0.73/mile. But I'm wondering whether I'd end up being completely screwed over by insurance costs and the outrageous costs of gas.
Anybody got any info and/or suggestions?
