Anybody know where the cheapest place is to rent a truck/van? I need to move a couple of dressers about 200 miles, and as creatively as I am able to pack, I don't think I'll be able to do it in the Miata even with my trailer.

My local Enterprise will rent me a mini-van with stow-and-go seating for about $65/day with unlimited mileage. Renting a utility trailer might be less if you have a hitch.
I'll look into the Enterprise minivan. Problem is that I am in point A, the furniture is in point B. I will be in point B from Thursday through Sunday--so I'm looking at a 1-way rental or else a really long rental.
Hertz does one way rental. It costs about double the price per day of a local day.
uhaul does one-way
One way rentals tend to cost more, but they also tend to have better mileage allowances. If you do a drop off and pick up at the same location, they usually charge for every mile (unless you are renting a passenger vehicle like the aforementioned minivan). One ways usually have a fixed set of miles, plus a charge if you go over.
where do you live? I took a trip to florida a couple years ago for 1 week. I flew into Orlando and rented a Chevy Express cargo van for 1 week from a place called Carl's Van Rentals. (because you know, I like vans or whatever) The daily cost was the same as a subcompact car from all your regular rental places. Unlimited mileage too.
I put a conversion van in the auto trader for my dad about 20 years ago; asked about $5,000. Someone called me offering to rent it for a week to take his family on vacation.
I told the guy to give me a $5,000 deposit and when he returned, I'd decide if I'd refund the deposit. He didn't rent it from me.
Ace rental has vans for rent. Don't know if they're in your area or not.
