Does U-Haul give AARP discounts?

Renting a U-Haul truck can get pricey, especially if you have to move long-distance. Getting discounts is a great way to save money, and many truck rental companies offer many discounts. To see what discounts U-Haul has, read on.

U-Haul Discounts

When U-Haul offers discounts, they are typically seasonal. As of this writing they are currently offering discounts on one-way rentals from the Midwest to the West Coast. When you go to rent your truck or trailer, the discount will be automatically applied to the reservation process.

• You can get a free towing inspection done at many U-Haul locations
