BudgetTruck.com Receives Industry's Highest User Satisfaction Scores PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 23
PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Planning your next
do-it-yourself move is now easier than ever, thanks to enhancements to Budget
Truck Rental's Web site that have helped make it the industry's highest rated
in user satisfaction, according to a recent study.
Asked which Web site they were most satisfied with, 47 percent of
respondents named BudgetTruck.com, while only 25 percent named the leading
competitor's Web site, according to the study conducted by Harris Interactive.
Of the 72 percent of respondents who claimed to have higher satisfaction with
one site over the other, 65 percent were more satisfied with Budget Truck.
Enhancements to Budget Truck Rental's Web site include a simplified
booking process that guides customers step-by-step through the entire
reservation process, as well as enhanced mapping tools for finding Budget
Truck locations, useful moving tips and improved online help.
"We know that many people may not have much experience when it comes to
planning a do-it-yourself move, so having a Web site that takes the guesswork
and stress out of planning is just another way to make our customers' moving
experience as smooth as possible," said Joe Ferraro, vice president of
operations for Budget Truck Rental. "We are very pleased to confirm through
this study that our Web site is satisfying customers and our resources are
improving the moving process."
In addition to the Web site enhancements, Budget Truck offers its
customers a full range of products and services to make moving fast and easy;
for example, Budget Truck is the first consumer truck rental company to offer
Global Positioning System (GPS) units to its customers. where2(R) navigation
devices with guidance by Garmin(R) are available at select Budget Truck Rental
locations throughout the United States, and can be used in any Budget truck,
from cargo vans to 24-foot trucks, and with any type of rental, including
one-way, local and commercial rentals. The device offers an array of
navigation features including truck routes, local points of interest such as
ATMs, hotels, restaurants and gas stations, a simple user interface,
three-dimensional maps, audible turn-by-turn directions spoken in multiple
languages and Bluetooth(R) hands-free calling capability.
Budget Truck provides assistance to customers to select the proper truck
for any move, and also offers moving equipment, boxes and supplies. Budget

About the Study
Harris Interactive conducted a double-blind random sample survey in which
respondents evaluated the reservation processes on Budget's Web site and the
Web site of a leading competitor. Respondents viewed the Web sites randomly,
and were then asked a series of questions relating to the sites' usability.
After evaluating both sites, respondents were asked to compare the experiences
offered by both sites. Over 1,000 respondents completed the evaluation
process.
