Penske® Reviews
This was the fourth or fifth time we rented a 16 ft. truck from Penske to move items from FL to NC. Their trucks worked well. I would give them 5 stars, but unfortunately, the trucks I picked up during the last two rentals were not very well cleaned. In fact, the next-to-last truck I rented was filthy and had an odor of cigarette smoke (smoking is supposed to be prohibited in the trucks). At least Penske offered my a small refund of a portion of that rental. Overall I would recommend them.
I will always use Penske for truck rental. Their trucks are very clean and shiny on the outside and just as clean on the inside. They may cost a little more but much better than Uhaul, or especially Budget in quality. I've used Penske several times before as well as those other companies but once I got a Penske truck, I decided that was the company for me. Customer service was great. Truck runs great. Can't think of a negative.
Rented my 16-foot Penske truck through Home Dept - had to travel to the Home Dept location that had the equipment - a 30 minute drive - but they shaved a couple dollars off for my inconvenience. Other than the time it took to wait in line at the Customer Service desk to get checked out and returned, the truck, process and rental experience were favorable.
I always use Penske. Reliable trucks with 24/7 roadside assistance, AAA discount if a member, and flat rate for the truck (no charge for mileage). The specific location we used wasn't as prepared as I am used to with Penske. They had to get fuel, and the check engine light came on during the driver's return trip. We received the truck an hour late, but they discounted $100 from my bill and gave us an appliance dolly free of charge (which came in handy). Even when things don't go exactly right, Penske does their best to provide good customer service. Will continue to use them for future moves.
The truck was affordable and the process to get and drop off seamless. I requested a 22 foot truck and got a 26 foot which was really no biggy aside I was not used to driving a truck that big with a car being towed. The AC worked but only after getting some moving air through it after 20-30 minutes, the pads I got with it where mixed bag. Some where good thick pads, the rest where thin felt pads that ripped easily and offered no protection.
I was only going one way. I thought the price was a little pricey but I needed to move. I was moving from Kansas to Maryland. The truck was a 16'. It also did not have a CD player or power windows. They were great with me moving up the move date a day. . I would rent from Penske again. Had no issues with the truck. The truck ran fine. I would recommend this company. Debby from MD
The truck we rented was in excellent shape and customer service was great throughout the process, but the pickup location was short on moving blankets (only 8 of 2 dozen requested) and furniture dollies (0 of 2 requested). We ended up having to purchase a dozen moving blankets from a local retailer--this alone ended up costing about one-sixth of the Penske truck. Luckily our movers had furniture dollies with them.
