• Self-Storage Rental – Reserve your self-storage unit early especially in smaller college towns with limited access to these facilities. Compare prices of small and large storage units and calculated if it would cost less to share a unit with one or more of your friends. If deciding on multiple small units you can ask the manager for a volume discounts as well.

• Moving Truck – Prior to reserving a moving truck go through you and your friend's inventory and decide if you can move everything in all the cars owned by the group. This will result in another saving by eliminating the cost of renting a moving truck. If leasing a truck is deemed necessary, try to use the same truck in moving for everyone and split the costs of the truck rental, mileage, and fuel costs.
