Depends on milage, time of year, where you live, the mood of the U-Haul
counter guy...  They charge you by the mile.  In my case, last time I did
this, it actually made more sense to drive down with someone and rent the
truck near where the van was, because the extra fee for a one-way trip was
less expensive than the extra milage fee of driving a "local" rental on
the round trip.  The counter guy where I went to arrange this was really
helpful in figuring out the cheapest way to do it.  They can reserve a
truck for you at another U-Haul branch, and are often quite willing to
help you track one down because it means they'll get a one-way truck to
rent out when you're done.

Oh, and you only pay milage on the truck, the trailer is a flat rate per
day.
