An outlet for a national chain of rental trucks has a sign along Waverly Road in Lansing telling passers-by that they are leasing trucks returned in Chicago for "ONLY $16.99".
Lansing is 216 miles from Chicago.
Pretty soon they will be PAYING renters to return them there.
Cheaper than renting a car if that is your destination.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the cost to/from Texas/California. Over $1000 from Cali to Texas, $200 from Texas to Cali, over 1000 miles.
ReplyDeleteYup. Even with the extra travel costs, cheaper to rent round trip in Texas than one way in Cali.
DeleteI call it the UHaul Index.
ReplyDeleteI'll pick two cities and a move date starting on Monday a couple weeks in advance. June 17th in this case.
Chicago to Dallas is $1,513
Dallas to Chitown is $1,100
