    Its largely because of volume. They can keep every truck for moving pretty much on the road, all the time.

    Especially around the 1st of the month. You need to reserve at least a month out for a 1st of the month rental.

    Also, we accumulate loads of crap here. I surmise that’s less common in your area.

      Usually people buy their own home before they start accumulating loads of crap. Nobody wants to drag it from rental to rental.

      For the majority of my 20s I could fit nearly everything into my wagon and with the except of my E-Class, they’ve all had tow hitches so if I couldn’t fit everything in the car, I could just get a trailer too.

      Distances are smaller too, you’d usually never be moving more than 200 km away within the same country, so even doing multiple trips with car is not too bad, you just have a few weeks of overlap between moving in and having to clear out the last place, then you can get it all done and clean up after work and on the weekends

        Like I said, what I described is likely not the case in your region. Indicated by your use of km instead of miles.
