Thank you for confirming the move scenarios. It appears we will have to go with a rental. The move would be about 1,400 miles in total. Budget was the lowest in rentals at $1283. I used $3.79 per gallon. I also saw where the rental companies even tell you if flexible the costs can be substantially reduced. Days of week makes a big difference. The "POD" costs ranged between $2,498 and $2,755. I have no storage fees or towing, but my wife has to follow me in our car. Convenience at $1,200 minimum? About a $1 per mile!
