Assumptions and Notes
- Driving Distance should be calculated: (only U-Haul charges mileage fees)
UHaul Address → Loading Address → Unloading Address → UHaul Address
- Fuel costs are omitted because they will be similar for both U-Haul and Home Depot.
- Taxes are omitted because the tax rate is the same regardless of the rental option chosen.
- Refundable deposits are omitted because... they're refundable.
- Home Depot's rentals are only available in 15-minute increments.
- If you need a truck larger than 12ft, Home Depot is not an option as they only offer 12ft box vans. U-Haul offers 10ft and 15ft box vans.
