Could not have asked for anybody better than Kinny and John. They arrived the early part of their arrival time and immediately went to work unloading. They were very professional, friendly and courteous. There were careful with the boxes marked fragile and getting items into the house. If we ever have have a need for anything to be moved will be asking for them. Thank you Hire A Helper for hiring such professional individuals.

Truck was clean and just been serviced, no damage. Only 20,000 miles on it. No issues except the poor gas mileage, but I guess that’s expected.

The truck was clean, fueled and ready for us as scheduled. We realized we could have used a smaller truck than reserved but wouldn't be guaranteed a smaller truck would be available so we kept the reservation for the 26' truck. It was slow going as the monster truck wouldn't go over 68 mph on the freeway and slowed considerably on hills. Another point to consider is the height of the deck which requires a long ramp. The truck had be parked out into the street for unloading to fully extend the ramp. Again, smaller would have been better.

Twenty six foot truck, 179K on speedometer. Wasn't able to get up to speed on interstate with out shimming starting at 55mph. I believe it was a mechanical issue not tires. In addition I did not check tires when I picked truck up from Home Depot. Store rental person checked truck. My fault for not checking until after truck was loaded. Both rear outboard tires were chipped and had slices in them. In my opinion they should have been replaced. I should have requested a different truck. Only truck that size at Home Depot that I reserved. Overall not satisfied. Would recommend picking truck up at Penske Center.

Truck was not safely drivable. Had to get my ride to come back & drive me across town for new truck. Did not have my requested 22 foot smaller truck. Replacement truck across town was very hard to shift in gear. Also the mirror would move back out and you had to lean all the way back in the seat to see out of it. Dirty with food on the floor too. Report said no damage on first truck though there was multiple scratches, dents, and spots on the truck. Take pictures before renting and test drive to make sure it does not jump up & down with suspension problems & have loose steering components like the first truck had. It had 140k miles on it. Received 10% off for the issues included on final price listed below.

Penske Truck Rental saved the day! Our move was from California to Washington, so it was no easy task. We had booked a reservation previously with another truck rental company, but upon arrival the day of our move day, the previous company did not follow the contract and gave us a cargo van (instead of a moving truck). After a stressful morning of cancelling the previous moving company truck rental and scrambling to find another, Penske was so friendly, patient and helpful with our last minute rental. They moved up the pickup time to accommodate our timeline with no hesitation, and the staff that we worked with over the phone to book the truck as well as the staff member who assisted us with the confirmation process during pickup were incredibly friendly and helpful. We are lifetime customers to Penske now! 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Penske saved us after Budget tricked us into thinking we had a truck reserved and drove an hour to find that *maybe* they'd have one that night. Customer service *hopefully* would be able to call back in a few hours to help find a truck in the area. Frantically called Penske customer support, they hooked us up with a truck at basically the same price and closer. The staff at the rental location were super nice and helpful too.

We saved almost 30% just by going with Penske and then they had promotions on top of that. Cost when moving across country is always a concern and it was such a relief to find an affordable option. Plus they gave us 10 days and unlimited mileage so we didn't have to try to rush a 3,000 mile move.

Fantastic customer service too bad they gave us a death-trap truck with an almost broken axle and suspension. As we were driving the truckload was titled to the right. We called PENSKE and they came out to check out the truck. We were told we were "Good to go to drive." When we called again 2 days later in New Mexico. We were told it was hazardous for us to drive. They switch trucks, and the loaders could careless about our stuff. Removed blankets, dropped bins that broke, and shoved our stuff into the truck.. UGGH! The speed to drive is toggled to only go 65mph. How is that safe when you can't go the speed limits across the USA?

I would have given a 5-star if it wasn't for the additional cost for gas during drop off. I read through the contract and there was no mention that we need to fill the tank before we return. It a bit challenging to gas up a 26ft tuck in a residential area. But other than that the truck performed very well and we had no truck issues.

This is my third Penske rental and the first time I was not happy with the truck rental. Penske definitely did not check this truck out before renting it to me. The wipers barely worked and I had to use them a lot during my 13 hour trip. I drove through rain, sleet, snow and a blizzard. NONE of the charging ports worked, so I had no way to charge my GPS or phone during my move which was a nightmare and I felt unsafe. Way too much money spent for such a shabby truck.
