4 Reasons to Consider Renting a Pickup Truck

You may be familiar with the concept of renting a car for a work trip or for a family outing. However, you may be less familiar with the practice of renting a pickup truck. Renting a pickup truck provides a great option that serves numerous purposes when a four-door vehicle just won’t cut it. Wondering when a pickup truck rental could be just what you need to get the job done? Edmund Vehicle Rental is a long established vehicle rental company in Singapore, and this article takes a look at some scenarios when renting a pickup truck can come in especially handy. 

Moving home appliances and furniture

Many often choose to rent pickup trucks over moving trucks to assist with small moves into an apartment or perhaps a dormitory. This is because it can be much cheaper than renting a big van, on top of being easier to drive. A pickup truck can also be useful when purchasing bigger pieces of furniture from a store. This option allows you to carry out items you might otherwise have to get delivered to your home for a fee. Often, the cost to rent a pickup truck amounts to being cheaper than the store’s delivery options.

Transporting construction or landscaping materials

Whether you’re building raised vegetable beds, creating a retaining wall, or simply decorating your deck with a container garden, hauling materials needed for a gardening project can be challenging and get messy with your own car. With a pickup truck, you’ll be able to transport all of those trees, flowers, potted plants, bags of soil, gravel and decorative stones without causing wear and tear to your own vehicle. 

Ferrying a small number of passengers

With the soaring COE prices, many businesses are now putting their commercial vehicles to dual use. Pickup trucks are bigger than most sedans, meaning they automatically have more space built in. If you’re looking at transporting workers to a jobsite, a pickup truck is a great option for your business. 

That said, do note that commercial vehicles have to adhere to a different set of speed limits in Singapore. Hence, if you are thinking of getting a pickup truck to ferry employees instead of a regular car, it’s important to be aware of these added restrictions.

Rent a truck for events

Planning an event such as a family barbecue, intimate wedding, or children’s birthday bash?
