Where can I rent a U-Haul or moving truck in Baytown?

There are nine U-Haul Neighborhood Dealers in and around Baytown, plus a Penske Truck Rental on Garth Road. The two with the longest hours are the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 1670 Rollingbrook Drive and the one at 6017 FM 565 South, both listed open every day from 9 a.m.

There are nine U-Haul Neighborhood Dealers in and around Baytown, plus a Penske Truck Rental on Garth Road. The two with the longest hours are the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 1670 Rollingbrook Drive and the one at 6017 FM 565 South, both listed open every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Most of the others in Baytown itself close on Sunday and Monday (the two Highlands dealers are open daily), so a Sunday pickup has fewer choices than a map suggests. Reserve the size and the day first, then pick the lot whose hours match your move.

U-Haul Neighborhood Dealers in Baytown

These are local businesses that rent U-Haul equipment, not corporate truck yards, so the hours are each dealer's own and the truck you reserved has to be at that lot. Check both before you drive.

  • Rollingbrook Drive. The U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 1670 Rollingbrook Drive is open every day, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • South Alexander Drive. The U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 120 S. Alexander Drive is open Tuesday through Friday 9 to 5:30 and Saturday 9 to 4, and closed Sunday and Monday.
  • North Alexander Drive. The U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 2900 N. Alexander Drive is open the same Tuesday-to-Saturday hours as South Alexander Drive.
  • Park Street. The U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 700 Park Street is also closed Sunday and Monday, on the same Tuesday-to-Saturday schedule.
  • Decker Drive. The U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 7724 Decker Drive, on the Decker side of town, is also closed Sunday and Monday, with the Tuesday-to-Saturday schedule.
  • FM 565 South. The U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 6017 FM 565 S. is open daily 9 to 7, which makes it the other Sunday choice.

Penske, and what the second brand is for

Penske Truck Rental is at 4624 Garth Road, open Tuesday through Friday 9:30 to 5 and Saturday 9:30 to 3:30, closed Sunday and Monday. It is the only non-U-Haul truck counter we list in Baytown, so it is worth a second quote when a U-Haul is sold out for your day. The same address holds a Storage King USA self-storage location, so one stop can cover the truck and a unit if the move needs a gap.

Highlands and Crosby

Searches for a U-Haul in these two towns are common, and both have dealers. In Highlands, the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 210 Jones Road is open daily 8 to 5 and the one at 2404 E. Wallisville Road is open daily 8 to 6. In Crosby, the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at 114 FM 1942 Road is open Monday through Thursday 10 to 5, Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 7 to 5, closed Sunday. The Saturday 7 a.m. opening is the earliest in the area, and that is the hour that counts if you want the truck loaded early.

Choosing one by the day

  • Sunday: Rollingbrook Drive, FM 565 South, or either Highlands dealer.
  • Monday: Rollingbrook Drive, FM 565 South, Highlands, or Crosby after 10, since the Alexander, Park and Decker dealers are closed.
  • Saturday start before 8: Crosby, which opens at 7.
  • Tuesday through Friday: any of them, so pick by the drive.

Loading day

Two city rules shape a moving day. The noise ordinance puts the residential limit at 65 decibels from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and at 50 after 9, with fines up to $2,000 per offense, so start after 7 and be finished with the radio and the ramp by 9. And Neighborhood Protection investigates parking on an unimproved front yard, so keep the truck on the driveway or the street, which is where the complaints about it start.

The rest of a Baytown move

A truck is the start of it. The city's water account needs a lease or a landlord-signed utility form and, for a renter, a $200 deposit plus a $30 connection fee. Service starts the next business day, so file the week before. Electric comes from a retail provider you choose, and CenterPoint handles the wires. Trash is collected twice a week, Monday and Thursday north of Spur 330 and Tuesday and Friday south of it, and goes to the curb by 7 a.m.

New residents can keep driving on an out-of-state license for 90 days. The Texas Department of Public Safety driver license office is at 5420 Decker Drive. Vehicle registration belongs to the Harris County Tax Assessor, at 701 W. Baker Road, which the county lists as open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8 to 4:30 and closed Wednesdays, with walk-ins for new residents from 8 to noon on those days.

If you are leaving more than you are bringing, Baytown dropped its garage sale permit, so you can hold one for up to three consecutive days once every six months, with at most seven signs. The moving guide has the rest of the list, and the cheap apartments guide covers the lease side.

Before you go

  • Reserve the truck online before you pick a lot, because the dealers are small and the truck has to be there.
  • Check the dealer's hours for the day of pickup and the day of return.
  • Ask where the truck has to come back before you sign.
  • File the water connection the week before the move.
  • Skip Wednesday for the county tax office.

¿Dónde puedo rentar un camión de mudanza en Baytown?

Sí hay dónde rentar un camión de mudanza en Baytown. Hay nueve distribuidores vecinales de U-Haul (U-Haul Neighborhood Dealers) en Baytown y sus alrededores, además de una sucursal de Penske Truck Rental en Garth Road. Los de horario más largo son el de 1670 Rollingbrook Drive y el de 6017 FM 565 South, que abren todos los días de 9 a.m. a 7 p.m. La mayoría de los demás en Baytown cierran domingo y lunes (los dos de Highlands abren todos los días), así que el domingo hay menos opciones de las que sugiere un mapa. Reserve primero el tamaño y el día, y después elija el local cuyo horario le sirva.

Distribuidores de U-Haul en Baytown

Son negocios locales que rentan equipo de U-Haul, no patios de camiones de la compañía, de modo que el horario es el de cada distribuidor y el camión que reservó tiene que estar en ese local. Revise las dos cosas antes de manejar hasta allá.

  • Rollingbrook Drive: el distribuidor en 1670 Rollingbrook Drive abre todos los días, de 9 a.m. a 7 p.m.
  • South Alexander Drive: el de 120 S. Alexander Drive abre de martes a viernes de 9 a 5:30 y sábados de 9 a 4, y cierra domingo y lunes.
  • North Alexander Drive: el de 2900 N. Alexander Drive tiene el mismo horario de martes a sábado.
  • Park Street: el de 700 Park Street también cierra domingo y lunes, con el mismo horario de martes a sábado.
  • Decker Drive: el de 7724 Decker Drive, del lado de Decker, también cierra domingo y lunes, con el horario de martes a sábado.
  • FM 565 South: el de 6017 FM 565 S. abre todos los días de 9 a 7, así que es la otra opción para el domingo.

Penske y para qué sirve la segunda marca

Penske Truck Rental está en 4624 Garth Road y abre de martes a viernes de 9:30 a 5 y sábados de 9:30 a 3:30; cierra domingo y lunes. Es el único mostrador de camiones que no es de U-Haul en nuestra lista de Baytown, así que vale la pena pedir una segunda cotización cuando U-Haul esté agotado para su día. En la misma dirección hay un local de autoalmacenamiento Storage King USA, de modo que en una sola parada puede resolver el camión y un cuarto de almacenaje si la mudanza deja un hueco entre fechas.

Highlands y Crosby

Mucha gente busca U-Haul en estos dos pueblos, y los dos tienen distribuidores. En Highlands, el de 210 Jones Road abre todos los días de 8 a 5 y el de 2404 E. Wallisville Road abre todos los días de 8 a 6. En Crosby, el distribuidor en 114 FM 1942 Road abre de lunes a jueves de 10 a 5, viernes de 8 a 5 y sábados de 7 a 5, y cierra los domingos. La apertura a las 7 a.m. del sábado es la más temprana de la zona, y es la hora que cuenta si quiere el camión cargado temprano.

Cómo elegir según el día

  • Domingo: Rollingbrook Drive, FM 565 South o cualquiera de los dos de Highlands.
  • Lunes: Rollingbrook Drive, FM 565 South, Highlands o Crosby después de las 10, porque los de Alexander, Park y Decker están cerrados.
  • Sábado con salida antes de las 8: Crosby, que abre a las 7.
  • Martes a viernes: cualquiera, así que elija según la distancia.

El día de la carga

Dos reglas de la ciudad influyen en el día de la mudanza. La ordenanza de ruido fija el límite residencial en 65 decibeles de 7 a.m. a 9 p.m. y en 50 después de las 9, con multas de hasta $2,000 por infracción, así que empiece después de las 7 y termine con el radio y la rampa antes de las 9. Además, Neighborhood Protection investiga el estacionamiento sobre un jardín delantero sin pavimentar, así que deje el camión en la entrada de la casa o en la calle, que es donde empiezan las quejas.

El resto de una mudanza en Baytown

El camión es solo el comienzo. La cuenta de agua de la ciudad requiere un contrato de arrendamiento o un formulario de servicios firmado por el dueño y, para un inquilino, un depósito de $200 más $30 por la conexión. El servicio empieza el siguiente día hábil, así que haga el trámite la semana anterior. La electricidad viene de un proveedor minorista que usted elige, y CenterPoint se encarga de las líneas. La basura se recoge dos veces por semana, lunes y jueves al norte de la Spur 330 y martes y viernes al sur, y se saca a la acera antes de las 7 a.m.

Los nuevos residentes pueden seguir manejando con una licencia de otro estado durante 90 días. La oficina de licencias de conducir del Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas (DPS) está en 5420 Decker Drive. El registro del vehículo corresponde al Tax Assessor del Condado de Harris, en 701 W. Baker Road, que el condado indica abierto lunes, martes, jueves y viernes de 8 a 4:30 y cerrado los miércoles, con atención sin cita para nuevos residentes de 8 a mediodía esos días.

Si se va con más de lo que trae, Baytown eliminó su permiso para ventas de garaje, así que puede hacer una de hasta tres días consecutivos una vez cada seis meses, con un máximo de siete letreros. La guía de mudanza tiene el resto de la lista, y la guía de apartamentos baratos cubre el lado del contrato de arrendamiento.

Antes de ir

  • Reserve el camión en línea antes de escoger un local, porque los distribuidores son pequeños y el camión tiene que estar ahí.
  • Revise el horario del distribuidor para el día de recogida y el día de devolución.
  • Pregunte dónde hay que devolver el camión antes de firmar.
  • Haga el trámite de conexión del agua la semana anterior a la mudanza.
  • Evite los miércoles para la oficina de impuestos del condado.
