Default Moving costs to the Villages from VA

I have always had employer paid moves and am not familiar with the inflated cost of everything now a days. Is this a reasonable estimate or should I get more quotes?
Its costing me $4,000 (with taxes) to rent a 26ft U-Haul truck to move my items from Manassas VA. This was the most cost effective as I looked at pods/other rental trucks - Penske wanted $7k! I wanted my stuff right away - that's why I'm moving myself. My son had a nightmare move in June from CA to AL. You have no idea how expensive it has become to make a move. Why not get two more quotes and see the price differences? Your deal sounds reasonable.
