Moving Truck Rental Unlimited Mileage

When every mile counts, mileage fees can add up

How far away are you moving? Whether it’s to a new state or across the country, if you’re paying per mile for your move, those charges can add up fast. That’s what makes unlimited mileage on a moving truck sound so appealing. However, unlimited miles may be harder to find than you think. In fact, only one company offers it, and it’s only for one-way moves. The good news? There are ways to move where mileage doesn’t factor into the costs. Take a look at the different options below to see how mileage matters with each one.

Who offers truck rental with unlimited miles?

Penske® is the only national company to offer unlimited mileage for one-way moves.

Since there’s no unlimited mileage option with U-Haul® or Budget®, how do they handle their moves? Both companies include a set number of miles for one-way trips. If you need more miles, here’s what you can expect:

• U-Haul charges $0.40 per mile if you exceed the allowed mileage on a one-way move. Local moves have mileage charges that vary for location and equipment.
• Budget has different fees depending on when you add extra miles. If you purchase them when you pick up the truck, the miles are $0.80 each. If you wait and pay for them when returning the equipment, they cost $1.00 each. Mileage charges for local moves vary by location.
