Don't know where you rent trucks, we pay $89 a day plus 15c a km for a 5 tonne.

He got good deals about 4 times I think out of 9/10 times trying and they saved on wages.

They have far cheaper rates for local though. They are the only company I know of offering one way rentals so I used them to quote Vancouver to Oshawa, ON.
I don't rent trucks often, last time I had enough to need a truck was 2006, Uhaul again was about 1,200 all in one way from Edmonton to Chilliwack.
Even a fairly close move from Squamish to Campbell River, the truck and insurance before gas and ferry fees comes to 400 dollars.
Moving just isn't cheap and is a huge reason why low income folks get stuck in high cost regions, moving isn't an option, and they are not typically in jobs with mobility so takes a lot of money to move.

If I choose the US they let me pick one way or round trip.
I don't need, was just curious what they would charge on the same route.
