I ordered a 22 ft truck and they gave me a 26 ft, saying it’s only 4 feet longer and same price. They do not take into account how much harder it is to park and the space that huge truck took up at my apartment complex, as well as how much harder it is to secure property in a top large truck. I really resent the bait and switch and they did not inform me before pick up that it would be a materially different truck.
A truly horrific experience from beginning to end. Booked a truck, wasn't in stock. Got a truck, was the wrong truck and couldn't hook up our car. Was about to switch all our stuff from one truck to one with tow capabilities when they came and said the equipment wouldn't support our Jeep Liberty. Drove across the country in a terrible truck that had the seal broken on one window and it sounded like a wind tunnel for 24 hours of driving. Scarred for life.
Overall a fair price and had the truck we wanted in stock (26 foot). Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the truck was listed to have a loading ramp but ours only had the lift gate which slowed our move down considerably. Good company, just make sure if you want a ramp you double check that the truck they are giving you has the ramp.
no instruction in regard to proper use of car tow rig, I asked several times for basic details in regard to securing car to the tow rig and received same answer each, you will figure it out it is not that complicated. For the first several hours we were stopping every 40 miles or so to re secure straps. Also figured out several hours into our trip to leave car ignition in Acc position to allow front wheels to turn with tow rig.
I've used this truck rental company previously, but would have to think twice about using them again. Upon arriving to rent the truck and trailer and checking the equipment the trailers tail lights were inoperable to include the signals although the tag on the trailer read with a tag attached thereto stating it was good to go. The rep that was handling this matter later that day had another trailer delivered this trailer had a flat tire. So a third trailer had to be acquired. The truck had not be cleaned and was very dirty inside the cab to include food wrappers inside the tray panels on each door. The windshield wipers were poor as well and would not completely clean the windshield when it rained.
Truck & staff were very good, but the moving blankets I reserved were not available. This would not have been a problem except I was not informed of this until I showed up to get the truck. This required an hour of driving around (rural area/early morning) to find a U-Haul firm open to rent us blankets.
