If you need to rent a truck, be sure to contact Budget Truck Rental. The trustees of NYSUT Member Benefits Trust recently endorsed a discount program with Budget Truck Rental, through which bargaining unit members can save 20 percent.

The discount applies to any local or one-way rentals. The Member Benefits discount number is 56000070789.

The discount is only valid when making a reservation through the Budget Truck Reservations Center, which can be accessed by phone or online. The toll-free number is (800) 566-8422. To access the Center online, members must link to it from the Member Benefits Web site, www.memberbenefits.nysut.org. The link brings members to a special Budget site for NYSUT members, where the discount is automatically included.

Budget Truck Rental has more than 2,800 locations nationwide and provides roadside assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The discount applies to truck rentals only. Taxes, surcharges, refueling, moving supplies and optional items are extra. This discount may not be combined with any other discounted rate or promotional offer. Renters must meet Budget’s age, driver and credit requirements.
