The $19.95 U-Haul

We recently rented a U-haul van to transport items to the local Goodwill donation center. Indeed, we filled the van with excess clothes, furniture, and other household goods, many of which were too large to fit in either of our cars.

The side of the van noted the $19.95 daily rental price. With insurance (required by U-Haul), the mileage fee (over sixty cents per mile!), the gas, taxes (city and state), the total exceeded seventy dollars. I hate hidden fees.

What a generous--and smart--way to de-clutter. We have several organizations who will come to your house and pickup household items, etc.--very handy. So the moral of this story is: never believe all you read on the side of a truck?

Hope you're enjoying a nice, clutter free, spring!
