🚗 Option 2: Rent a Pickup Truck (But Read the Fine Print)

Big box stores like Home Depot, and Lowe's offer truck rentals. While this might seem like a simple solution, there are hidden costs to watch out for:

  • Mileage limits
  • Fuel charges
  • Insurance add-ons
  • Deposit requirements

And if you don’t have a valid driver’s license or experience driving a truck, this option might be more stress than it’s worth.

🚛 Option 3: Try a Delivery App (But Be Careful)

Some folks try to use rideshare or gig apps like UberXL or TaskRabbit to move furniture. But these apps aren’t designed for heavy-item transport, which means:

  • Drivers may cancel when they see what you’re moving
  • No equipment (like tie-downs or blankets)
  • No guarantee your item will fit

🏦 Real Talk: Carrying Furniture on Public Transit? Please Don’t.

We've all seen someone try to haul a chair onto the subway. It doesn't go well.

Most public transportation systems have rules against oversized items, and even if they didn’t, it’s not worth the hassle, stares, or safety risks.

If you’re going car-free, your best option is still to use a delivery service that specializes in moving bulky furniture.

✅ Final Thoughts: No Car, No Stress

Living without a car shouldn’t stop you from getting furniture where it needs to go. Laborhutt gives you access to nearby drivers with the right vehicles for the job — no truck rental, no begging friends, and no awkward rideshare hacks.

Book your move today and get your furniture delivered without the headache.
