Thanks a bunch people! We have been looking at Penske but havent checked Budget. We also had bad experience with U-haul taking 1st load down in large trailer that was not properly hooked-up by rental person to our vehicle and it swayed like crazy all the way from near Buffalo,NY to Englewood,Fla every time a big truck passed by!

I see a lot of Ryder trucks on the road, they always look well maintained. I am not sure about being able to use them for one-way / drop-off type runs like what you're planning.

Good Luck on you move. I saw some pretty helpful advice about local storage, and temporary local storage.

YEAH BABY! I guess you'll have to change your name to wannabe a snow bunny or something! Sounds like the Sarasota area is going to single handedly turn the housing market around for Florida!
