Ryder truck rentals: why they remain a common moving choice

Ryder provides truck rentals, leasing, and fleet services with a focus on reliability and vehicle maintenance. It offers box trucks, cargo vans, and trailers suitable for different-sized moves and operates a broad network of pickup and return locations. Availability of specific vehicle sizes and routes can vary by location, so renters should confirm details with their local branch.

Why people choose Ryder for moves

Ryder is a U.S.-based company that provides truck rental, leasing, and fleet management services for business and personal moves. Many customers pick Ryder because the company focuses on maintaining a commercial-grade fleet and offering a range of vehicle types for different needs.

Fleet, maintenance, and reliability

Ryder operates box trucks, cargo vans, and trailers suitable for local and longer moves. The company emphasizes scheduled maintenance and a centralized service network to keep vehicles road-ready and reduce breakdowns. This maintenance-first approach appeals to people who need dependable trucks for moving heavy or fragile items.

(Note: Ryder's current truck color scheme and specific maintenance practices may vary by region.)

Vehicle options for different moves

If you don't need a full-size truck, Ryder also offers smaller commercial vans and trailers that handle apartment moves or smaller loads. Trailers provide a middle ground between a personal car and a large moving truck, letting you tow extra cargo without renting a full 26-foot vehicle.

Ryder's lineup targets both small-business operators and individual customers who need one-way or short-term rentals, though availability of specific sizes and one-way routes can differ by location. ¹

Nationwide network and ease of pickup/return

A major convenience for renters is Ryder's broad network of locations across the United States, which makes pickup and return straightforward for many moves. Local branches also help with customer support and vehicle servicing.

(Confirm the company's current operating footprint and the list of states or countries served for the most accurate planning.) ²

How Ryder compares to other rental options

Ryder competes with other national truck rental brands. Major alternatives include companies focused primarily on consumer moves. Each company's pricing, truck mix, and one-way availability vary, so compare quotes and terms before you book.

Bottom line

Ryder remains a practical option for movers who want a commercial-grade fleet and the ability to choose from trucks, vans, and trailers. Before booking, check the exact vehicle sizes, one-way availability, and local pickup/return policies at the branch you plan to use.

1. Confirm Ryder's current truck color scheme and branding.
2. Verify Ryder's present geographic operating footprint (countries and states served).
3. Check Ryder's consumer-facing one-way rental availability and the specific vehicle sizes offered at public branches.
