Most people are familiar with the common rental van.
These can be found at many different locations, such as service stations, and equipment rental stores. They are ideal for very small moves that can be easily accomplished in one day. Doing it yourself when there are large amounts of furniture, or more valuable possessions, are less successful because of the greater chance of damage, not to mention the longer amount of time needed to complete the move. Rental agency operators say that the most common problem is people renting vehicles that are too small or large for the job at hand. Larger trucks may require the driver to possess a special driver's license, depending on the jurisdiction, than is required to operate a car or small truck.
