It's important to leave room in your moving budget for overlooked costs, such as a rental truck's gas usage! Filling up the tank of a moving truck won't be the same as filling up the tank in your personal vehicle as large trucks will only get in about 5 miles per gallon. Certain things can add to fuel consumption during your move - like idling in traffic and road detours - but our calculator will give you a good estimate to work with. Don't forget that you might also be required to return the rental truck with a full tank of gas.
