I'm doubtful your coming to help move unless you dont work mondays..

Oh and we only have two cars on the road.....one of which will probably be pulling a trailer from the storage centre, oh and there is only two of us so one needs to drive the truck.....oh and its all got to be out by 12 noon.

Thats a house two fully loaded sheds 4 cars which two aren't running and a trailer.....although looking to get the cars down a little earlier to a friends place

Halfway between the airport and your place. Alternatively there is one at Mascot (right next to the airport) for the same price.

I did offer my help, and was willing to take a flex day (time in lieu).

Anyway its up to you guys. You asked for ideas - thats just mine. You might find a better deal, or maybe not.

ok so I have just done a thrifty.....pick up from blakehurst..
from the 16/17 to the 19 and it has come up with $750...think its more like 790 with the fees

so perhaps you want to enlighten me shonky and tell me how I get the $117 dollar rate.

What am I doing wrong?
Thats for the 3 ton van buy the way

if I had to hazzard a guess I would say that the times you are putting in make it cheaper.....but are probably times that more than likely do not work for us

Balmain Truck Rentals - http://balmainrentals.rtrk.com.au/'s...=254285:159056 They're just off the City-West Link.

I used to rent trucks with tailgate loaders from Ranger in Lidcombe, but I think they changed name to Hertz or something. They were also for MR licence.

Thanks Simon......

Might give them a call however if there is any saving to be had there I'm not sure it would be worth the extra 40 mins on top to return the van after we spent the day unpacking

Some won't let you take them out of the metropolitan area. Others charge more if you do. A mate wanted to hire a truck from the airport to Richmond. Nope. Too far.

I made the mistake of telling one mob I wanted to take a trayback ute to Newcastle. That cost me a lot more. In the end I could have hired a car, with no restrictions for less, and fitted what I needed into the boot.

Good point Ron. Speaking from my experience when I worked for Kennards, just tell them you're going to Camden or Campbelltown, otherwise they might hit you up for a few $$ as Ron says.
Also, make sure there's a spare wheel, brace & jack in the truck. Some companies have them but some only fit them if travelling outside metro (like Kennards used to). If it's not & they want $ to do so, kick up a stink about safety concerns about leaving all your worldly possessions by the side of the road waiting for a spare wheel.

Check the vehicle thoroughly for any damage & make sure it's all noted down (just like at that LR dealer you go to). Refuel it before you return it too or else you'll cop fuel at up to 50cpl over what's in the street (make sure it's full when you pick it up too).

If you're getting a pantech, watch out for low branches - the insurance often doesn't cover overhead damage.
