2. Pickup truck for quick jobs

This is definitely one of the best things you can rent! Instead of paying the additional cost to get a bed or couch delivered or hiring a moving company to haul your furniture, think about renting a truck. Or you could hit up your truck-owning friends, but you can do that only so many times.

You can rent a truck from Home Depot for $19 for the first 75 minutes. If you need it for a whole day, you’ll have to pay $129, while renting it for a week is $903. At Lowe’s, you’ll pay $19 for 90 minutes or $119 all day.
