Go with Penski, they rent to Burners. I found a SUV at RentAWreck for ~$400

[m0nkeybl1tz]

Hey, so we rented a U-Haul without mentioning the whole Burning Man thing. We now have to return it tomorrow, and as you might imagine, it's rather dusty. Now, we bought the insurance on it, but do you think we should still clean it just to be safe? Hope everyone had a great burn!

[Dr. Pyro]

Absolutely clean it. If not for yourself, then for those burners who will want to rent in the future. It is the only right thing to do.

uHaul is pretty much the worst truck company out there. Dangerous equipment, miserable service, chronic overbooking.

Hertz, Budget, etc are way way better, if you can't get a Hengehold truck. Monarch rents Dodge Sprinters too, which are the bomb.
