I used Budget. Mixed feelings. Some good aspects, some bad. Rental cost was just shy of $5k for the big truck (biggest one they had, 24' I think). Diesel. Definitely get diesel if you can - especially if you're going up/down mountainous terrain. Gas trucks are crap. Diesel rigs are way better and you get to take advantage of all the decent-priced over-the-road diesel prices at truck stops.

I'd have to look at my receipts, but here's ballpark/off-the-top-of-my-head:

$4500 - rental truck
$1500 - fuel
$2000 - shipping two cars ($1k/ea)

Plus a few hundred for food/hotels/crap along the way.

Truck stops are your friend. They have showers - use 'em. Also great places to sleep without anyone bothering you. In retrospect there were aspects of the trip that were fun, but the experience just sucks overall. Moving is never fun.
