At Plantation Budget Truck Rental, we can help you move across town or across the United States, Canada (although you must bring the truck back to the United States).

Which truck do I need to rent?

Because most people don’t rent trucks very often, knowing which size you need can be confusing. Below is a guide to help you decide. Whatever you choose, you should review this form, which you can print out or send to your car insurance company. That will help you decide what insurance you might need to provide.

Our 12-foot truck is our smallest. It’s good for moving a single person, including their bedroom and some furniture like couches. A lot of college students like this size. People who have motorcycles also like the 12-footer because it’s easy to tie the motorcycle up. They’re also good for holiday shopping when people are buying a lot of big stuff: Large-screen TVs, Christmas trees, bicycles and appliances.
