I find if I'm going far distances, home Depot is actually better. Around town U-Haul is usually better.

Which is kinda ironic, as it's inverse to what they advertise for.

Really? HD you get unlimited miles for $20, albeit only for 75 minutes. But if you just need to pick up something heavy you can't beat that deal

And a full day unlimited miles is only $130. Where uhaul truck 24hrs and 200 miles is $138. 500 miles $285.

Stay in town though. Go ~40 miles and have it for a day. U-Haul is ~$60 compared to HD at $130.

Probably why they can charge the price structure they do, maximizing their profit for the most common use case they see.
