Guess who I would call, probably u-haul. I believe Home Depot will allow you to rent their trucks also. How about instead of asking a bunch of people online. Make some local calls and find a damn truck. This is rediculous. And dont type back that you wanted to know who we use because thats just lazy. Make some local calls and do it yourself. FYI, most people arent gonna rent a car to an 18 year old guy. Talk to you pops and see what he can do for ya.

This is straight off of the U-haul site:

"How old do I have to be to rent equipment from U-Haul?

You only need to be 18 years old with a valid driver's license to rent our equipment. You do not need a commercial driver's license."

There you go! I think that would be the best bet since most rental companies require you to be 25 to rent their vehicles (eg- full size trucks).

Good luck!

Don't go on your own. Take a buddy or two so that they can help.

Ok, then your mother then, or an uncle or someone over 25 if you cant rent otherwise. Didnt know your pop wasnt around, no way for me to know that but, sorry to hear.

I think problem is hood. Bumper and fenders should fit in your car with no problem. I wonder if you can driver your car without the hood. If you can, remove your hood, drive there, install it and drive back. I've heard CA law is tough, so idk. It's okay to drive that way in TX. I drove without my front and rear bumpers for a month and no one stopped me. Maybe you can drive there late at night and pick them up.
