I rented a Penske box truck one-way for $481. You also have to add the cost of a 1-way plane ticket, I suppose.

My wife and I made a little vacation/road trip out of it so it was fun. It definitely was worth the extra money to see the thing in person and transporting it myself, although I would have felt very differently if it'd been a pile-o-junk.
