Here is where many people make the mistake of assuming that renting a moving truck is your cheapest option. The concept of doing it yourself may sound like a money saver. However, investing the minimal amount of time to compare rates (between a full service moving company in Boston, and a moving truck rental company in Boston) brings shocking results!

The estimated rates for a moving truck rental company in Boston are stripped of many deciding factors that will give you an actual estimate. For example, the truck size you need may only cost $89 and that's pretty affordable, right? Now multiply that number by the number of days you will need the truck!

For a move to Burlington from Boston, a truck would be needed for about 3 to 4 days, considering the packing time, loading and unloading time, and actual transport. So now, you are looking at a much more expensive rate than you originally assumed.

To that number, a moving truck rental company also adds a mileage rate. (FYI, moving from Boston to Burlington is over 200 miles.) Of course there are additional taxes and fees that won't be added until you actually go in to reserve your rental moving truck, assuming that the company has a truck size you need available for the dates you need.

Finally, all that money spent is for nothing more than the use of a moving truck, to transport your belongings from Boston to Burlington. Fuel still comes out of your own pocket! (Many truck rental companies will also charge a fee of anywhere from $20 to $100 if a truck is returned with less gas than when it was picked up.)

Now, consider the full service moving companies in Boston. There may be an excessive amount of extra options that you don't really need, but even when you add some of those options you are still saving money compared to the cost of renting a moving truck.

A full service moving company in Boston already has fuel included in the estimated rate, and that alone will save you a few hundred dollars!

All in all, a full service moving company in Boston, opposing the do it yourself option, will save you more than just money!
