Since our last post about who to rent a truck from we've learned that Budget may no longer be the way to go. We've learned that Budget as a corporation is not providing the kind of money they used to for truck maintenance and they are not replacing trucks at the rate they used to.

As a company, we now rent from Penske if we need to, which isn't often. The couple of times we have rented from them they've been a little bit more expensive than Budget, but that stands to reason if they've got better maintained trucks. Also, around September 1st we couldn't get a rental for just a few days, they wanted us to rent it for a week minimum. This might be because we are a business and not an individual, but its something to watch out for when renting.
