Choosing the Right Size Rental Truck for Your Moving Day

The Move Cheap®Cincinnati Movers have been moving customers throughout the Cincinnati Tri-State for nearly 10 years, and one of the number one questions we’re asked is what size rental truck our customers should rent for our movers to load and/or unload.  The simple answer is that every situation is different and typical is a relative term, but we’ve compiled a basic guide to help you decide which truck size is right for your moving day:

For a studio apartment, most customers rent a 10 – 12 ft moving truck.

For a 1 – 2 bedroom apartment, most customers prefer a 14 – 16 ft moving truck.

For the typical 1 – 2 bedroom house or condo, many customers choose a 17 – 20 ft moving truck.

In a 3 bedroom home, 20 – 24 foot moving trucks work fine for most customers.

For homes with 4 – 5 bedrooms, we suggest nothing smaller than a 26 ft truck.

Remember that in many situations if you need additional loading space, you have the option to add a trailer with sizes ranging from 4’ X 8’ up to 6’ X 12’.  In the circumstance where you have a great deal of items, two trucks are always an option as well.  If you feel that you can’t decide which moving truck or trailer makes the most sense for your move, call our Cincinnati moving office at 513-843-6719.  Our experienced staff will always be happy to offer our suggestion.

From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
