Good idea. Prices aren't bad: (last I checked)

Home Depot rental truck prices start at $19 for the first 75 minutes, and then $5 for every 15 minutes thereafter.

So 3 hours would only be $59... assuming it's unlimited mileage.

Comparing to U-haul, which charges $1/mile, for $59, you could drive 40 miles, for the whole day.

Either way, doing this once a month costs under $1000/yr. Saving on gas, loan payments, and maybe insurance.

It's not. Add $.70-$1.09 per mile for mileage.

Maybe that's regional? HomeDepot.com shows this for me:

> Unlimited mileage on all vehicles
