Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a pickup truck?
average daily rates (US):
• Midsize (Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma): $59–$95/day
• Full-size ½-ton (F-150, Ram 1500, Silverado): $79–$129/day
• Heavy-duty ¾-ton or 1-ton (F-250, Ram 2500): $119–$199/day
Home Depot and Lowe’s still offer the cheapest 90-minute/local rentals at $19–$29 for 75 minutes. Unlimited-mileage weekly rates drop 25–40%.
Can I tow a trailer or car with a rental pickup truck?
Yes — most full-size and heavy-duty rentals are tow-ready:
• F-150/Ram 1500: up to 11,000–13,500 lbs towing
• F-250/Ram 2500: up to 18,000–22,000 lbs
All Enterprise, Budget, and U-Haul trucks come with a hitch and 7-pin connector. You must add the towing insurance/package ($10–$25/day) and specify the trailer weight at booking.
Do any rental companies allow one-way pickup truck rentals
Yes — these do nationwide one-way in
• Enterprise Truck Rental (best availability)
• Budget Truck Rental
• Penske (strong for heavy-duty)
• U-Haul (only on certain ¾-ton and larger trucks)
Home Depot and Lowe’s are local-only.
Do I need a special license to rent a pickup truck?
No special license for any pickup under 26,001 lbs GVWR (almost all consumer rentals). A regular Class D driver’s license is enough in every state. Only a few 1-ton dually + trailer combos that exceed 26,001 lbs combined weight require a non-CDL Class B in some states — the rental company will tell you upfront.
