Penske Truck Rental now offers a 20 percent savings discount on one-way truck rentals for active military personnel and free unlimited miles on one-way moves. Simply reserve your truck online to save 10 percent and present your military identification at pick-up to enjoy an additional 10 percent off the rental.*

Penske Truck Rental has also unveiled a new competitor price-match program for one-way truck rentals exclusively for active military members.  Find a better rate from a competitor? No worries.  Simply show proof of the better rate when booking a truck rental reservation with Penske or when you pick up your Penske truck and Penske Truck Rental will match their price. Military identification is required.*

Finally, since military moves require troops to weigh their rental moving trucks for expense reimbursement full and empty, Penske Truck Rental has also created a new free online certified public scale locator tool to help assist troops in finding weigh stations.
