Hey!

So I am planning to cross at the end of September. I plan to call truck/van rental companies for estimates (once I get a chance to as my shifts are all over the place at the moment and I am usually only home at night) but I was wondering if anyone had any luck with any companies like U-Haul etc? What are some other companies? Can I rent a small truck in Canada and drop off in the States?

How have you moved your belongings across and how did that work out?

Used Uhaul. You can use them if they have a drop off location near you(in the USA where you will be moving to).

Price was not bad (just under 2,000$ for the truck, trailer and gas)quoted from Ottawa Canada to Omaha Nebraska, also rented a trailer hitch and hauled my car behind it.

It was an adventure because my mom never drove a moving truck before lol we had a fun time.

http://www.uhaul.com/ you can get a quote online---the quote I got online was the exact same quote I got at the store! I used them and had no problems! ENSURE you go over the truck BEFORE you accept it!!! Check all the fluid levels. And check the tire pressure--they get crappy gas mpg, so every bit helps!! I would have more than enough miles0--but I made a detour to RI--but they were nice enough not to charge me any extra! Uhaul is pretty much ur only option for a truckj rental company!! I know some that live close to the border--the US spouse rents a truck on the US side and brings it to canada. Back in 2004 from Greenwood NS to DC was around $800. But the price varies and not always distance matters, other factors too, but you can get a quote online. I averaged like 70 mph and got like 12 mpg with it,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
