Have you priced U-Haul trucks one-way lately? A friend rented one last year to move from California to Texas, and he could have BOUGHT a pretty good truck for the same price. That van only held about twice as much as my pickup. The sign on the side said "Rent Me For $19.95 Per Day", but that's just a come-on. The killer is the per-mile charge. My big Dodge diesel can make the round trip for about $220. It takes me a full day to load up my truck, so it would take several days to load a van. One day of carrying furniture down those narrow, twisty staircases is about all my old back can handle at a time, so the pickup works out well.
