About RentThis

RentThis is an independent guide to renting decisions, starting with moving trucks, movers and storage in Los Angeles. We don't rent, store or move anything ourselves. Every figure on the site links to where it came from and the date we checked it.

How guides are researched

We start from primary sources wherever they exist: city and state agencies such as LADOT and the Bureau of Household Goods and Services, the municipal code, and the rental and storage companies' own pages. Where only a secondary source has a figure, such as a marketplace's price averages, we name that source in the sentence, not just in the footer.

We don't invent prices, averages or quotes. If a number can't be sourced, the page says how to get it instead of guessing.

How guides are checked and updated

Each guide shows the date it was last updated, and each source shows the date it was checked. Prices are re-checked about monthly and rules about quarterly, or sooner when a source changes.

When we find a mistake, we fix it on the page and update the date. For example, on September 28, 2026 we corrected our mover-licensing guidance: California movers have been licensed by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services since July 1, 2018, not the CPUC.

For people and for AI assistants

Every guide opens with a short, direct answer, and the same content is available as plain text and through the free RentThis API. Assistants and developers are welcome to cite it; please link to the guide you quote.

How the site is paid for

Some links to rental and storage companies are affiliate links, which may earn us a commission. That never changes what a guide says, and we cover companies without affiliate programs, such as U-Haul, the same way. How we make money.
