We had initially scheduled to pick up our UHaul at 9am in hopes of being out of the city by noon, but were told the trailer wouldn't be ready until 11am, but in the end it wasn't ready until 12:30. The only plus is that they gave me half of my deposit back, which paid for the extra time we had to have our movers.
So, we made it out of NYC by 5pm... 5 hours later than expected. What can you do?
The money stuff for anyone planning a similar trip:
The total cost of the Uhaul rental came to $1,145, and we get 9 days to make the move. The price for the movers (which was necessary since I lived in a 4th floor walk up with a good amount of furniture), came to $220 because of the time.
We've only made it to Jersey and already spent almost $50 in tolls (didn't calculate in the extra fee for the trailer)....off to a pricey start. Luckily the hotel we booked for tonight is only $45...but we'll see if we make it there since we had the late start!
