Moving to and from college

<p>In our area, the Enterprise and competitors' two seat cargo vans are hard to come by, and you need a reservation up to a month or six weeks ahead to guarantee one during heavy use periods (around end of the month, known college moving times).</p>

<p>Budget, UHaul and others have similar options, but these are often cube vans or box trucks, ranging in capacity from slightly larger than a cargo van to a full box truck, more suited to 4plus rooms of "stuff". These are for the most part 2 passenger only configurations, although some of the larger units may have the old bench style seat.</p>

<p>These tend to be more readily available, but at end of month times a reservation is still your best bet.</p>

<p>Newmassdad,</p>

<p>H says he recalls going to a Toyota dealership and asked to rent their biggest van with the kind of backseat that could be folded down into a flat floor. Then we sat on the remaining bench (or bucket?) seats. He also bargained with them a bit. I recall they brought it in from a neighboring city. He had a longstanding relationship with that dealer who serviced our cars regularly.</p>
