2/19    U-Haul wants $56 for a move between towns (pick up the truck in
        town A and drop it off in town B). Is there a cheaper alternative?
        This is from South to East Bay and it's a small truck.
        \_ It's cheaper if you take back to where you rented it.
           \_ but you have to pay for double the mileage, and it might not

        \_ if you have a car with a trailer hitch, you can rent a van-trailer
            with unlimited miles too.  Worked for me.  -ERic

        $5k/yr? Shit I could probably hire a private driver for less...

        \_ You might have missed the point.  Hiring a chauffeur to drive your
           private vehicle won't change the amount of gasoline your private
           vehicle use or the amount of real estate it uses on freeways and
