Some of the top reasons for wanting to rent a tractor trailer include moving, shipping, or if you need to use it as a car transporter. Each of these reasons has its own requirements, but the basics for semi rentals are the same. There are tips and information that can help you through the rental process.
Call the companies you would like to do business with to make an appointment with a salesman. Because a lot of money is potentially involved, you need to ensure that you are going to be happy with the transaction. The salesman can help with demonstrating features of a truck, letting you test drive it and arranging for delivery of the truck.
There are options like air conditioning, leather seats and heated mirrors to consider when renting, but these extras will raise the price. Speak with other truck drivers or even someone at the Department of Motor Vehicles and they can recommend a rental company based on their past experiences. Depending on the length of time that you need to have the tractor trailer for, you may be able to get a special rental rate. The more time you can commit to renting, the more the price goes down.
