sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com posting in

in regards to this post i'm looking for moving solutions. a good handful recommended ABF/upack/relocubes (all the same company) but when i try to get a quote i'm told my move is "too short." (i'm moving from arlington to warwick, RI.) i couldn't quite tell in the other post if the people that used them used them for moving within MA or what, and i wanted to post again in case the person i replied to doesn't have notifications on or others had input on this.

i need to get out of my current place ASAP so i'm using all my resources here, thanks for any help! (i've looked into PODS which seem to be way too expensive. obviously my other option is a truck but since it's just me and i have car to drive down too, if a pod-like thing is more affordable than what i've been seeing it would be ideal.)

well yeah, that's my last ditch option. but i'd obviously like to avoid a.) a bunch of annoying unnecessary travel and b.) driving something i'm not sure i can handle if at all possible.

truck rental right now even if i return it in RI is still cheaper though, so it's looking like i might have to do that.

I don't know how much stuff you have, but you could also rent a van from Enterprise. They're smaller than a truck, so it my be a little less daunting for you, plus they charge the rental like a car rental, not a truck rental-- meaning they charge you per day, not per mile (though you have to lie to them and tell them you're not leaving the state with it in order to have unlimited milage). You would, of course, have to drive back and forth as

ringrose described, but at least you wouldn't be doing it in a big truck.

hm, thanks! think they could fit a queen mattress/boxspring? the rest of my stuff is ikea things that can go flat, or in small uhaul boxes & i drive a hatchback so the bed's the only thing i'm worried about fitting. a van would definitely be much more comfortable for me to drive.
