Budget Coupon Codes for Truck Rental

Looking for a Budget discount code? 

If you’re planning a long-distance move, it’s a good idea to shop around to compare costs and services. And you may also want to search for deals to get the best price. But before you rent a truck from Budget®, make sure you understand what coupons are available and how they’re applied to your move. Plus, there’s a better solution to move out of state with U-Pack, where you can save money and won’t have to drive bulky moving equipment.

Compare Budget coupons to U-Pack prices 

To help you compare the costs of moving with Budget and moving with U-Pack, we looked at an example move for a 3-bedroom home from Dallas, TX, to Missoula, MT, in May 2023. The prices were accurate at time of posting for each company’s recommended equipment. Actual moving costs will vary based on home size, location and equipment availability. 

For the example move, we used the 20% discount from Budget’s website. Here’s the breakdown with estimated fuel costs: 

*Based on $4.13 per gallon average diesel price at time of posting according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration Gas and Diesel Fuel Update and Budget’s estimated 8 MPG for the truck according to their website. 

What was U-Pack’s price? For the same 3-bedroom home move from Dallas to Missoula, U-Pack recommended 17 linear feet in a moving trailer for the cost of $7,826. This price included equipment, transportation, taxes, fuel and liability coverage. 

And Budget isn’t the only company to offer moving coupons. You can save $25 on your move with code BLOG25.

The discount would bring the example move to $7,801.
