Top Uses of a Pickup Truck Rental

While many people are familiar with renting a moving truck, pickup truck rentals have grown significantly in the past several years, offering solutions not only for residential projects such as moving, but also for rugged adventures, work, and more.

Common Uses of Pickup Truck Rentals

Pickup truck rentals are ideal for situations that require towing, hauling, or handling rugged terrain. However, anyone who’s searched for a pickup truck rental for a last-minute camping trip or for a weekend home improvement project knows that there aren’t a lot of rentals that support the more “rugged” needs often associated with pickup trucks.

As we discuss in our blog “Why Choose a Work Truck Rental Company Over a National Car Rental Company?” there’s one major downside to renting a pickup truck from national rental companies: they’re not equipped—or allowed—for rugged work. You can expect a hefty fine if you take a national truck rental company’s pickup truck off road, for instance, and don’t even think about hauling heavy tools, gravel, or other materials in the truck bed that might scratch the shiny finish.

However, with a 4x4 pickup truck rental company that’s built for rugged work, the possibilities significantly open up.

We’ve been in the pickup truck rental industry for years, and in that time, we’ve seen rentals for a wide range of uses. Here are some of the top ways our clients use their truck rentals:

Work

First and foremost, our clients use our pickup truck rentals for work. We specialize in pickup trucks for rugged work, so this comes as no surprise. From mining to exploration, pipeline projects, and more, our pickup trucks help our clients get on-location even if that means traversing rugged, non-traditional terrain.

Home Improvement Projects

For those small one-time moves to get a piece of equipment to and from a box store, the in-house truck rentals do just fine. However, for longer-term home improvement projects, clients prefer to use a more affordable rental. For projects that require a truck for multiple days of hauling and towing, a pickup truck rental can help save rental fees.

Yardwork/Landscaping

Pickup truck rentals are also a great fit for yard work or landscaping projects, especially if you need to tow a trailer for a short period of time for dirt, trees, or other heavy-load needs. While you wouldn’t want to use a national truck rental company for this purpose (hello fines and fees), a local pickup truck rental company like Rangefront Wheels is a great fit. 

Moving Recreational Vehicles

One of the top reasons we receive messages for pickup truck rentals aside from work is to haul recreational vehicles. For those clients who are towing a camping trailer, horse trailer, ATVs, jet skis, etc., a pickup truck rental (especially one that comes pre-equipped with a towing package) helps get them where they want to go.

Final Thoughts

Pickup trucks are great equipment for hauling, towing, and navigating rugged terrain. However, if you need a truck for rugged work, make sure you check the rental company’s fine print. If you’re in the Nevada area, reach out or check our availability online by clicking “Rent Now” below.
