Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• One-Time Move: If you only need equipment for a single move, renting is more cost-effective.
• Limited Storage Space: If you don’t have enough room to store equipment after your move, renting is a practical choice.

When to Purchase

• Frequent Moves: If you move often, investing in your own equipment can save money in the long run.
