Liability
If you own or lease your own truck, one accident can place your business in jeopardy by exposing you to millions in lawsuit costs. A Storage Affiliate Advertising Van is a rental truck backed by U-Haul who assumes the liability exposure.
Repair Costs
Rental vehicles typically are not driven by their customers like they would their own car, and some don’t have the experience of driving anything larger than their own car. This results in repair, maintenance, and towing costs in the thousands, which you as the owner are responsible for. A Storage Affiliate Advertising Van is a rental truck backed by U-Haul who assumes all repair and maintenance costs.
Roadside Assistance
If you own your own truck, that customer will call you to resolve the breakdown and work on getting some help out to them. With a Storage Affiliate Advertising Van, U-Haul staffs a 24/7 call center to handle Roadside Assistance at no charge to you.
