    What $20 rental?

    Those do not exist anymore.

    Truck rentals start at $50 now, when all fees are in.

      How the hell are truck rentals so cheap in the US? Vans start at 70 euros here and I have to go the other side of the country because that’s where the airport is.

      I get most of my needs done with the much more easily available rental trailers instead. My wagon has a tow hitch for that.

      I am, however, considering an SUV and buying a bigger trailer of my own so I could put more than ~500 kilos on it as that’s the limit or the brake less rental trailers. I expect to do a bunch of hauling next few years, major home repairs are in order and I ain’t paying other people to do all of it for me. I’ll bring my own materials home from the shop and DHL my own work.
