Moving day tips: May want to call ahead about rental vehicles

February 2, 2010 - Toyota's recall troubles may have an immediate effect on those currently in the relocation process who are looking to rent a car or a truck for their big move.

Some rental car businesses, such as Hertz and Avis, recently announced that they will be pulling all affected Toyota models from their lots. This is in response to the safety concerns associated with some of the car manufacturer's models, specifically with the accelerator sticking to the floor.

Because of this, those who have reserved a Toyota vehicle for their move may find that they no longer have a car waiting for them come moving day.

Some industry experts are recommending that consumers call the car rental company ahead of time to ensure they still have a vehicle. Many people who are moving to a new home often rent cars or trucks to help transport their belongings.

In general, it's sound advice to double check on everything for moving day. The relocation process has the potential to be a stressful time, which means confirming certain services can help the day go a lot smoother.
