Yeah, that's definitely the cheapest option if you only need the truck for an hour or two to carry something home. Actually I think it's free if you are fast enough, just have to pay for gas.
I've rented trucks from Lowe's as well. Hella cheap if you're quick with it.
Huh! They could buy a board, take the truck to pick up a friend at the airport, return the truck and the board...
You don't need to buy anything, I've rented the truck from home Depot to carry unrelated items before.
There is usually a mileage bit on there too, its X miles for Y hours sort of thing iirc.
Still can be relatively cheap BTW, just saying its not pure time as of the last time I did it. Which was to move a few slabs of butcher block for my desk, so that was about 4-5 years ago.
