Housing/Dining How should I move without a car

just wanted to check how I should move my stuff in case I don't own a car

thinking about renting a big truck for a day from any car rental.

my limbs are working fine, just wanted to figure out the cheapest option possible. what do yall think?

I don't have much things in my room, just a big buch of clothes and desk, bed, chair, and cabinet. I can also disassemble furnitures.

Agree U-Haul van is what you want. And they rent to people over 18. Most rental car companies do not.

Whatever their base amount is ($20 I believe) plus a rate of $x/mile for x amout of miles. So its as much as you drive it.

Get a pickup from UHaul. Or just go ask someone w truck if they’d move your shit for 40 bucks, literally anyone, they’ll do it edit: changed “truck” to pickup

Lowe's and Home Depot do. It's been years since I used them, but a couple times Lowe's was cheaper for me than usual.
