Last Post Before......
pulling the plug and heading south.:)
Just in case anybody's interested here's the quote's on the truck rental:
Renting a 15ft truck with a car hauler, one-way from Minneapolis, Mn to Ft. Walton Beach, Fl :cool:
U-HAUL = $1450.00 with 6 days
RYDER = $1127.00 with 6 days
Ryder also included 165 more miles in their package. I'm going with Ryder, I'd be :crazy: not to. The money saved with Ryder will pay for a good portion of the fuel costs for said truck :yesnod:
Rick :seeya

Dude,
You're takin' an Orange vette to the Orange state. Enjoy the sunshine! Your vette will like it and you'll like it! I'm jealous. I'd love to bail out the northeast.
Good luck bro

Re: Last Post Before...... (tangee-vette)
I had a similar experience a few years ago when I moved from Florida. Ryder threw in extra miles and extra days for no additional charge.
I called U-Haul first and after they gave me a quote, they said "if you find a lower price, we'll beat it. "Oh really" I said ( I don't play that game). "In other words, you're capable of giving me a lower price but you won't unless I consider using your competitor".
See ya, U-haul

Rick. Keep me posted when you land, and we'll stop in June/July. We're doing our relocation look then and will start in Pensacola and go across to Jacksonville. Thanks, JCL :cool: :cool: :chevy "Sidepipes are the way"

You've already pulled the plug, but I couldn't help myself...
Last time I rented a truck, Ryder and U-Haul were very close. But Budget was half the price -- and I got to drive a nice, fairly new 18' Isuzu cabover! :smash:
