> Cities could combat this by setting up a rent a big f off truck for 24hrs program I suspect.

Doesn't uhaul already fill this niche?



Lowe’s and Home Depot also offer this. It’s good enough and the reason I’m not going to buy another truck after my 2005 Ranger finally blows up.


Having used uhaul recently I could be convinced it is itself part of a conspiracy to get people to buy bigger personal vehicles. I can't remember dealing with another business whose contempt for their own customers is so clearly communicated through every part of the process.


I am a heavy UHaul user, and at least here, it is crucially important to know which location to use. Where I am, some locations are consistently fine, others are okay but busy, and some are busy and atrocious.


I've had much better experiences renting a truck on Turo than Uhaul


Probably more practical to rent from your neighbors using something like Getaround or Turo.


No, they mean actually having the vehicle available when you ask for it.
