Peak transportation season usually occurs during holidays, Tet, the end of the year or when businesses and projects need to speed up progress. At these times, the demand for truck rentals increases dramatically, leading to a shortage of vehicles, escalating prices and service quality that may not be guaranteed. How can you still rent a satisfactory vehicle, avoid being "ripped off" and ensure that all shipments arrive safely? Below are some "hard-won" experiences to help you get through the peak season smoothly.
1. Signs of "peak season" and potential risks
First of all, you need to know when the peak season is to be best prepared.
Peak time:
End of year and Lunar New Year: Demand for goods circulation, especially Tet goods, construction materials, and house moving services skyrockets.
Major holidays: April 30, May 1, National Day September 2... demand for travel, tourism and transportation of gifts increases.
End of month, end of quarter: Businesses need to complete targets, push inventory, or close large orders.
Rainy season: Traffic is more difficult, vehicles are easily damaged, increasing costs and delaying progress.
Potential risks:
Difficult to rent a vehicle: Transport units are fully booked, there are no empty vehicles to serve you.
High fares: Prices can be pushed up 1.5 - 2 times higher than normal days.
Deteriorating service quality: Due to overloaded work, employees and drivers may work carelessly and unprofessionally.
Contract risks: Some unreliable units may not fulfill their commitments in the contract, deliver goods late, or incur unclear additional fees.
2. The secret to "guaranteeing a vehicle, not being ripped off"
To successfully rent a truck during peak season, you need to be proactive and have a clear strategy.
2.1. Plan and book a vehicle early
Make a detailed plan: Clearly define the time, location, volume and type of goods to be transported. The more detailed you are, the easier it is to book a vehicle and receive an accurate quote.
Book a vehicle at least 1-2 weeks in advance: This is the most important experience. Booking a car early gives you more options, proactively negotiate prices and avoid running out of cars. Reputable transport companies will often give priority to customers who book in advance.
2.2. Search and compare multiple suppliers
Refer to multiple units: Don't just contact one company. Look for at least 3-5 professional transport units and ask for quotes.
Compare quotes: When comparing, don't just look at the final number. Consider the following factors:
What does the price include? (Road tolls, loading and unloading fees, VAT...)
Are there any hidden surcharges? (Waiting fees, overnight fees...)
What is the cargo insurance policy?
Are there clear contracts and commitments?
Be careful with prices that are too cheap: If a unit quotes a price that is too low compared to the general level, be careful. They may incur additional costs later or the service quality is not guaranteed.
2.3. Read the contract and terms carefully
The contract is the legal basis: Require a clear transportation contract with full important information.
Check the terms carefully:
Price: Must be clearly stated and committed to not change.
Time: Commit to the time of picking up and delivering the goods. The contract must have a clause on compensation in case of delay.
Insurance and compensation: The level of insurance for goods, the process and the level of compensation in case of incidents.
Surcharges: Surcharges (if any) must be clearly listed.
2.4. Become a loyal customer
Build relationships: If you are a business with regular transportation needs, look for a reliable partner and long-term cooperation.
Incentives for loyal customers: Professional transportation companies often have preferential pricing policies, priority vehicles and the best services for long-term partners, even during peak seasons. This is the most effective way for you to not worry about price and service quality.
2.5. Optimize packaging and loading
Packing goods carefully: Whether it is peak season or not, careful packaging is still very important to ensure the safety of goods. Fragile goods must be carefully padded and clearly labeled.
Prepare: Prepare goods ready at the pick-up point so that the driver can load and unload immediately. This helps save time and avoid unnecessary waiting fees.
Use support services: If necessary, use the professional loading and unloading and packaging services of the transport unit to ensure that the goods are handled safely and quickly.
