Penske® Reviews
Overall, everything went great with our truck rental. The only frustration was that we had to drive farther than expected to pick up the truck and car trailer because they were not available at the location just a few miles from our house. It was also frustrating that we did not receive confirmation of the pickup location until after hours. I ended up having to call the call center in Pennsylvania, who then reached out to the Denver manager to confirm where we needed to go. Other than the pickup location issue, everything went smoothly and we had a good experience.
Rick with Penske Denver helped the best he could, but it took an hour to check out. Not his fault. He was patient and professional, even funny. Some problem with their verification system software. When will Corporate realize computers create as many problems as they solve? Penske screwed up the morning, their manager did a great job, considering it had happened before.
Clean truck, friendly workers, helpful truck mechanic who showed me the controls. Friendly person washed my truck before I left the lot. The only thing I did not like was the dirty, greasy, rusted (paint flaking off) appliance dolly I was given. I did not want that thing to touch my appliances. At least the guy washing the trucks washed the dolly off for me (I tipped him $5). I saw other dollies inside that were new and clean, but the lady gave me the old rusted dirty one.
Excellent company customer service, but the truck did make a lot of squeaky and other noises. However, I made it from point A to B which is the most important thing. When big rigs passed by and/or when the wind blew, the truck was blown over the line in the break down lane. The steering wheel had a little too much play. The truck had about 76-77K miles on it but it seemed/felt older than that while driving the truck. I did like the beeping feature when the truck was blown over the lines. Douglas was great at the pick-up location, and all the reps the helped me book the rental were the best especially the ladies in the office in Pennsylvania. 0.oo Cost of the Penske truck rental was way too much & OVER PRICED (4 times the cost of 10 years ago).
The Penske truck worked out great for my move. Everything fit perfectly, and the trip went smoothly. The truck/trailer/container was in really good shape, clean and ready to go. Customer service was great from start to finish. Booking was easy, and they kept me in the loop for pick-up and drop-off, which I really appreciated.
The pricing and people were top notch and amazing. The only reason Im putting four stars instead of five was the truck pulled very hard to the right. Not a big deal for across town but across the US was a bit of a headache. Would still recommend them for the top choice anyway. A clean reliable truck that got me all the way from Alabama to Oregon. Kept me warm through the snows and winds of Wyoming no problem too!
Truck was great but it beeped in traffic incessantly due to being to close to the vehicle in front of us, which in traffic in cities you can't stay back 5-6 car lengths. The limiter on speed was also incorrect in some places, road speed was 65 but it would shut you down to 55 even though that wasn't the actual speed limit.
