Hi all. My wife and I are moving to Fort Collins, Colorado from Maryland. It’s about 1700 miles. We don’t have a ton of stuff but aren’t willing to part with some larger items so we’ve been looking into driving a moving truck. (15-16 feet). So far we’ve been haggling between Penske and Uhaul.
Our original quote from Uhaul was $2700.00 which I thought was way too high and can’t imagine anyone paying. But they promote being able to beat anyone else’s offer by 10%. We have cycled between getting a quote from Penske, returning to Uhaul where they lower their quote, returning to Penske to match, returning to Uhaul...etc. We’ve done this 4 times so far and each time they beat the previous price. It’s now down to $1,350.00 for the truck. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I plan to continue to pursue the lowest price. I was just surprised how inflated these initial quotes seemed to be.
