5 Best Truck Rental Services in Los Angeles (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Moving day in Los Angeles usually comes down to whichever truck rental counter can actually get you a vehicle that morning. The truck rental services on this page carry ratings from 3.8 up to 4.8, and that spread of exactly a full point matters more here than in most categories, since a low-3s average at a moving-truck counter tends to trace back to a specific, recurring complaint rather than random bad luck.

Short answer: Enterprise Truck Rental on Riverside Drive holds the strongest combination of rating and volume among the dedicated moving-truck counters here, at 4.3 stars across 94 reviews, with reviewers repeatedly praising quick pickup and friendly staff. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Downtown has by far the largest review base on this page at 323 reviews, though its 3.8 rating reflects a more mixed set of experiences around deposits and fees. Confirm any deposit or after-hours drop-off policy before you book, since that's where the complaints on this page cluster.

Our take: Geared more toward commercial fleet customers than a one-time residential move; the rating here reflects a mix of repair-shop and rental experiences rather than a single consistent service.

Food Truck Rental Campaign (Los Angeles)

4.827 Google reviews

Food Truck Rental Campaign, based near L.A. Live, is a different kind of business from the other listings here: it designs and rents branded food trucks and mobile marketing setups for companies running promotional events, not moving or cargo trucks for personal use. If you searched for a truck to move furniture, this isn't the right fit; if you're a marketing manager planning a branded food-truck activation, it's worth a look.

What people praise

  • Reviewers, several describing themselves as marketing managers, praise fast turnaround on custom truck design and branding
  • Team is described as responsive and patient through multiple rounds of design revisions
  • Consistently described as professional from initial quote through event day

Our take: This ranks on the page because it shares the 'truck rental' category tag with the moving-truck companies above, but it serves an entirely different need: event marketing, not moving logistics. Worth knowing before you call if you actually need a cargo truck.

How we score

Rating is the business’s live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers actually rated them, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence blends the two, since a strong rating on a handful of reviews carries less weight than the same rating held across hundreds. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing, so a business that was strong two years ago but has gone quiet scores lower than one still earning reviews this month. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a truck rental cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

None of the businesses on this page publish a single current price we can cite with confidence for a general reader; truck rental pricing depends heavily on truck size, rental duration, mileage, insurance add-ons, and whether it’s a one-way or local rental. Ask each counter for a current quote against your specific move (truck size, dates, and destination) before booking.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These counters span downtown LA, the Arts District, and Elysian Park, so whether you’re moving out of Koreatown, Silver Lake, or the Eastside, there’s a truck rental near me option within a short drive on this list.

What to ask before you rent a truck

  • Is a deposit required at pickup, and how much, on top of the quoted rental price?
  • What’s included in the mileage allowance, and what does each extra mile cost?
  • Is after-hours key drop-off available if I return the truck outside business hours?
  • What size truck do I actually need for my move, and is that size guaranteed or just requested?
  • What insurance or damage waiver options do you offer, and are they required?
  • What happens if my reserved truck size isn’t available when I arrive?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these companies?

We looked at real, public Google ratings and review counts for truck rental agencies across Los Angeles, then weighed how consistent that sentiment is over time.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google ratings and review data as of July 2026 and is refreshed periodically as new reviews come in.

Do I need to reserve a truck in advance?

Reviewers on this page describe both walk-in rentals and advance reservations; for weekends or larger trucks, booking ahead reduces the risk of your size not being available at pickup.

What’s the difference between the moving-truck companies and Food Truck Rental Campaign?

The other listings here rent moving and cargo trucks for personal or commercial hauling. Food Truck Rental Campaign designs and rents branded mobile food trucks for marketing events, a different service entirely.

Is a deposit normal for truck rentals?

Yes, most truck rental companies require a refundable deposit at pickup in addition to the rental fee. Ask for the exact amount when you book, since this is where several reviewers on this page ran into surprises.

The bottom line

Enterprise Truck Rental on Riverside Drive is the safest default for a straightforward local move, with a strong rating and no recurring complaint pattern. If you need broader truck size options or a one-way rental, U-Haul Downtown has the inventory, just confirm the deposit amount before you go.
