Overall, loved working with Penske. Terrific customer service! Vehicle was fine. Tough to see out of passenger side mirror; had my son drive instead. Just had regular radio (no USB/ability to connect to Blue Tooth) to pass the 10 hour journey. Easy pick up, easy drop off!

Penske Truck Rental was a very reasonable company to rent from. It was cheaper than the others, along with having the most generous benefits. They featured unlimited miles and allowed a week to keep the truck for the move.

The trucks are governed to 70 MPH which is fine, but extremely under powered while trying to maintain that speed in any kind of uphill or headwind. You are lucky to get 60 in a 10 MPH headwind. In my mind this can be a significant safety concern especially in the mountains on I90, through Montana and Idaho.

The truck had slow reaction to braking and the cruise would intermittently stop. Had difficulty restarting it. Rented 12 furniture blankets which did not come with truck. Had to go to UHaul and rent blankets from them. Also, was quoted $400 for insurance, but paid $500. Probably would check out other companies if I ever need to make another long distance move like this one.

Terrible 26' truck with 185,000 miles. Even though it had just come out of maintenance, it had a bad suspension that made it dangerous to drive. Their only offer was to transfer the entire load to another truck, which would have wasted a full travel day and damaged the household goods. I will never use this company again as this was the second time they've supplied a bad truck. No other truck was available at time of pick-up.

Truck was good. It rode like a truck (haha) but was very clean. I thought the gas mileage was decent. It was easy to book, easy to pick up and easy to drop off (one way rental). I chose Penske because of reputation and proximity to where I was living. I would use them again.

I reserved a 16-foot truck online as well as a stair-climber dolly and a dozen furniture pads (required by the movers (manual labor) we also hired for this move. When I arrived to pick up the truck I had to wait half an hour just to get the keys. To make matters worse when I got out to the truck neither the dolly nor the furniture pads were in the truck (even though the desk agent specifically told me they were). When I went back in to get them, I was told they didn’t have any! Their website advertised that if I paid online at the time of the reservation, this would ensure that my truck was ready AND that any additional items would already be in the truck… so NONE of that was true. I had to call customer service who told me someone could bring the dolly and furniture pads to me from some other location but that it would be at least an hour. This started off our moving day in the worst way, made us late for the movers we had hired to help us, and threw off our entire day. Moving is stressful enough, don’t use Penske unless you want MORE stress during your move.

Guys I have so much to say. I had heard so many good things about Penske, for even one of my family members who has moved within multiple times. However, despite placing an order for the truck and two dozen moving blankets over a week in advance, when I arrive they didn't even have my truck, they didn't know where it was, and they had zero moving blankets in the entire Penske section of the Home Depot. Granted, these are all home Depot employees that I worked with and not specifically Penske staff, but to misplace the entire truck? I had this delicate dance of loaders and unloaders scheduled for the day, so of course step one of the plan catastrophically fell apart. You could argue part of this was my fault for not building in a little more spare time, and you could be right, but to have to wait in line 45 minutes to have the associate at Home Depot; with Penske on the phone, custom create a new order on the spot to give me a truck that they did have in the parking lot - with 0 moving blankets mind you - was nerve racking to day the least. It made me almost an hour late for my first group of men to load the truck for me, and then over an hour late when I arrived at my new apartment complex for the movers unloading the truck, costing at least $300 in overtime fees. Not to mention the assistant manager at the Home Depot refused to write off any moving blankets that they had in their store, meaning I had to spend $200 on my own moving blankets while paying for a truck that disappeared and 24 blankets that got the day off. I would have thought that since Penske in Home Depot have this working relationship that it would behoove them to make things right by providing whatever moving blankets were in the store, but it was not to be. The only reason this doesn't get a one-star is because I at least made it to my destination in one piece, albeit moderately late and incredibly stressed. The next time I move I would seriously consider just hiring full service movers. You're less likely to nearly have your day ruined from the people that I least expected to disappoint me.

Once I called Penske and reserved a truck, I was put in contact with a national broker who provided me with movers on both ends. Fabulous communication between everyone involved and the movers were very experienced, wrapped and secured all furniture and not one item was damaged upon destination. Highly recommend for your next move.

Working with Penske was easy. They allowed me several changes without any hassle (dates, truck sizes). Their communication was spot-on, letting me know our arrangements (money and time). The people at the Fayetteville truck pick-up place were so helpful and thorough in showing me how to do things and wishing me well on my trip. During the trip, I had a wheel on the car carrier go flat. But Penske Roadside assistance (on New Year's Day) was right on it, and kept in regular touch with me while I waited for help to arrive (they had to come from 3 hours away).
