U-Haul® Reviews
Issues with returning the van. They claimed that it was in an accident, which it was most definitely not. The guy said "Well at least you purchased insurance, so it doesn't matter", as if they were just planning to claim this damage regardless of who was at fault. Concerning response, considering we did nothing wrong at all.
The truck was spotless and ran well. The pick up was very easy. They called us the day of the drop off to ask where the truck was - which was only odd because there wasn't a drop off time on our receipt. They should probably be added to their rentals to insure they have the trucks in stock that need to be rented to other consumers.
I had not used Uhaul for years because of bad experiences in the past and their reputation. But, have things changed for the better! I rented a 26' truck and it was loaded to the brim. I drove from PA to Maine, and had no trouble at all with the truck. It was good on fuel (as good as could be expected!) and ran well. It had a small rain leak in the roof, and because I drove through an actual Nor'Easter storm, a few things got wet, but nothing was permanently damaged. Billing was accurate - pick up and drop off were easy and fast! Great experience!
We used U-Haul of West Spokane on Sunset Blvd. We had scheduled a 7:30a.m. pick-up time and the brand-new truck was ready and waiting. The frost was cleared off the windows, and finishing up the paperwork took no time at all. We had a 25’ x 10’ storage unit packed with all our belongings (without any major appliances) from our three bedroom-three car garage home. We rented a 26’ truck and the movers we hired to load the truck did an excellent job of fitting everything in. We chose U-Haul because of their reasonable rental rates, reasonable costs of add-ons, like extra insurance, and their convenient location. We would definitely use them again. We had clear roads and no mountain passes...gas for the 400mile trip was about $100.
I usually use Uhaul just because they were close to my old neighborhood. Their in store service is sometimes lacking but they make up for it with helpful staff at their call centers. When the system tried to have me return my truck over an hour away the call center staff made sure I made it to the proper department who manually changed the route so that I could take it somewhere much closer.
We felt the mileage seemed a bit off. Should have checked the miles/gas before leaving the lot as UHaul charges for every mile. Would use again for short distance moves but maybe not if need to do multiple trips to storage unit. Mileage ended up costing thrice the basic rental rate. Adds to the stress of moving.
The equipment (truck and car transporter) were great and worked fine. But the staff at the Worcester office seem overworked and unable to remember the idea or value of being friendly. U Haul policy sends you to whatever location they need to to find your truck. This always poses an inconvenience on moving day. I wish they could have internal drivers move the reserved truck to the location for the customer.
