I guess it depends what ya like. I love to drive, so I quite enjoyed my Uhaul trip. Plus I knew how it was cared for, and when I arrived, my stuff arrived. Good luck on ur travels

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

Geez - I see you're in Manassas - we're in Centreville, just off 29. I don't know where he's coming from but I was in Kitchener. It made the most sense for us - I had a 2 bedroom apartment to pack-up with a teenager in tow! I bet he's got less stuff then we had.

LOL. You have to be kidding!? He is from Kitchener. And, looked at your profile, here is another one ..Me- night elf rogue, Him - human priest (at least when we met, neither of us play WoW anymore)

I priced out a 10' truck from Uhaul from Southern Ontario to Minnesota (about a 12 hour drive) and it was going to cost me 1200 bucks! I am still unsure what I am going to do. I am pretty sure you get penalized big time for picking up in one country and dropping off in another. Because just for kicks I checked what it would be to pick up the same truck in Detroit and it was 550. I am considering getting my fiance to pick one up in Detroit when he flies in to see me and bring it across, load it up and bring it back in MN. Not sure if that is asking for trouble or not though.

We are wondering about doing the same thing. It would be very easy for us to make the 20 min trip across the bridge and grab a Uhaul instead of driving one directly from Windsor. I haven't checked with our local uhaul dealers yet, but I am sure there is probably some larger fees when trying to uhaul "internationally" I am not sure how the CBP would handle it on either side, maybe I should call them and ask.

Unfortunately there is no "pod" service in our area

You can go onto the Uhaul web page and check out the price! What you see online is what you will pay! At least it was for me in 2004!! I went to a Uhaul dealer he quoted me the exact same price as I had searched online. No hidden fees
