In this post and video, we’ll view a list of 5 cargo van moving truck rental options for individuals, families, and businesses in Massachusetts.
Before buying my own cargo van for smaller moves, I did some basic research, looking up cargo van and truck rental rates here in Boston, Massachusetts, and the surrounding area. And instead of just letting it go to waste, why not help those of you looking for a cargo van or moving truck to help with your medium to small Boston moving needs. As I mentioned, I now have my own cargo van and truck that I use for office, studio/ apartment moves, and furniture deliveries, but occasionally I still use one of these rental services depending on my particular needs, so it’s good to have this list on hand.
If you are making a small move and don’t want to pay for a professional mover like myself or a moving company like Gentle Giant and instead only need a cargo van or truck, then check out this list of 5 moving truck rental businesses near me in Medford, here in Boston, and throughout Massachusetts.
And the last thing to keep in mind is that the cargo van or truck isn’t the only thing you need. You also need to have strength, stamina, and knowledge on how to properly pack a van or move a couch up a few flights of stairs and around tight corners. If you do, renting a cargo van from one of these companies may be for you.

Obviously, there are other options out there, like Ryder or Enterprise, but I figured this would be a good starting point for now. And along with the moving truck rental rates above, you should also remember that some require a deposit, Zipvan has a membership fee, gas may or may not be included, and the list goes on. You’ll have to determine the best option for you based on your specific moving needs.
