Has anyone ever noticed that all U-Haul vehicles have US plates? Doesn't look like they are supporting Canada. Why should we support them? Buy Canadian.

Rona was sold to a US private Equity company in 2023

Look in to container companies. They can drop off a cargo container with a truck, you load it yourself, and it rides a train to wherever the closest terminal is while you drive yourself and the daily essentials in your own vehicle. (Or fly or whatever) There, another driver will deliver it to your new place.

It might be pricey, but renting a truck for that kind of a drive you’re looking at $250+ a day with gas and their mileage charges on top of the rental fee. I used to drive from Edmonton to Toronto regularly, which took 3.5 days at around 1000km/day. It’s not close.

Since this is the BuyCanadian community, I'll put down a couple Canadian options since they are kind of hard to find online. Problem is you'd need to bring the truck back since they only have branches in the local area.

Greater Toronto Area - Bristol Car and Truck Rental

Metro Vancouver (Langley) - Canadian Car and Truck

Montréal: Location Légaré

When I last moved across country (2 years ago) it was literally like $10k for a one way rental with a decent sized truck or trailer.

I ended up just buying a brand new 7*14 enclosed trailer for less and one could resell it for basically what i paid if I wanted the money back instead of the trailer but for my needs i'm keeping it 🤷‍♂️ cargo trailers dont depreciate much.

As far as I know, in Montréal there's Location Légaré that rents trucks of all kinds for moving. But you have to bring it back. They don't have the same widespread service that U-Haul has.

Otherwise, I'd recommend using a moving company.

If you call UHaul, you can negotiate discounts.

Have you looked into Penske? I'm pretty sure they operate in Canada.
