box truck rental fyi

Post by yumyumms » Thu Aug 12, 2010 10:04 pm

Just reserved a truck this morning at budget rental in reno from the Gentry location.

Yes, this close to Bman.

I got the impression from the guy taking care of the Bman rentals that they are fast approaching capacity- pulling in 10 trucks a day from other locations to stock up- specifically for burners and they have 80 rented out so far

Thanks to whoever mentioned this place on the forum.

The guy - Joe I think it was... cool dude

Yup.. Joe is the man. Super cool guy. Let's take good care of him and return the trucks sparkling clean and even a pine tree dangling from the mirror so he keeps taking care of us year after year. Super invaluable resource!!

BUMP

Just stopped by Budget here in Reno and I must say that Joe is the shieeet. Truely if anyone needs a truck this year, definitely talk to Joe cause he will hook you up with the cheapest possible rate. Oh, and they are moving in trucks from other various locations just for BM. We got a 16' for 9 days for about $400.

Also a hint: Anyone can book a corporate rate. It doesn't take any additional documentation whatsoever. I verified this with Joe directly.

I got my 16' for $24/day and $0.16/mile. 11 days for $330 all taxes included.

I searched for a coupon code online.. I don't have it handy. Google "Budget truck coupon code" and rent online from the Gentry location in Reno.

yeah, i booked mine a little late due to procrastination. :x oops. they're hiking up the prices a little the closer to the burn we get. still a killer deal IMO.
