Penske Truck Review
(1 out of 5 rating)

Actually I would give a negative 5 rating if that were an option. I had difficulty from the beginning to the end of this move with Penske. I went to their office several times in Olive Branch, MS and there would be no one there. No note on the door...nothing, no one. I waited for 10 minutes the first trip and no one ever showed up. The truck pick-up was at a different location and I was not told that until I went to pick the truck up. It was difficult to find and when I did, you guessed it, no one was in the office. At least there was a number to call and a woman did show up. It took over an hour just to sign the papers and get the keys to the truck. The "new" girl had no clue what to do or how to do it. She had to call a number of times to find out how to enter the information. Finally, we went out to the truck and the three dozen blankets I had ordered with this truck were not in the truck. We stood outside in the heat while she went around in the back and gathered them up from different storage rentals. The blanks were smaller than usual and I swear, I could actually see through them when I held it up in the light. They were just big pieces of felt. The movers who loaded my Penske truck fortunately had some of their own blankets and loaned me several. When we finally got to our destination and tried to return the truck, there was no Penske at the location given by the Penske site. After several phone calls we figured out where it was; went there, and, yes, again, there was no one in the office in this town either. We had to make another trip a few hours later to get the truck returned. We had rented their tow dolly also. It took us two hours to figure out how to get the thing lined up and the car loaded. We did call the Olive Branch office to ask for some direction and, wait for it...no one answered. We left a message asking for a call back. Yes, we are still waiting. I would not recommend this company to anyone for anything. I would drag my furniture on my back before I tried to work with these folks again. What a work in frustration!!! Be warned: Do not use Penske.

Based on the truck I received, the rep hooked me up a good deal based on being a previous client and it not being on a full tank. The dolly I was given sucked though, the buckles didn't work and it was actually an appliance dolly-which I didn't need. The time before that, they forgot the dolly.

I just talked with the truck rental company about the issues with the truck. They have decided instead of me returning the truck they are going to send a wrecker out to recover the truck - sure after I have driven it across country. I have a second truck coming cross country now that's not running that well ether but at least that one has a radio and air conditioning, the truck I drove didn't and with it being 104 in AZ not a pleasant ride plus so many other issues.

The truck ran well and was clean when picked up. However, the truck needed DEF twice during our drive. Penske reimbursed me, but it would have been great to not worry about it. Also, the pickup location did not have the damage forms on hand.

Moved the pick up location at last minute, did not have the hand truck available as ordered, we had to use HD and return it to a different location than the drop off location, so and it was not a good start to the day. The truck itself was in very good condition, and customer service was responsive to making things better, but we lost an hour of moving time over the issues, and had to travel to extra locations to return the dolly from the truck itself, things that meant a lot in terms of a smooth move. I have used Penske in the last without issue, this was probably a one-off occurrence, so would try them again, only because customer service was able to provide solutions.

I have used Penske for every move. The trucks and trailers are always in excellent condition. We have always moved long distance 400+ miles and have never had a problem. Their customer service is perfect every time. I initially used them because they have great pricing for one way moves. They offer great discounts including online reservation discount and military. I have used them for all 7 of my moves and would use them again. I recommend them all the time to anyone moving.

Picked the truck up in South Carolina, along with a car trailer. The truck was clean and had low miles, which settled some worries I had about renting a truck for a long distance move. Dropped off in Scarborough, Maine and the gentleman was just as polite as the one in South Carolina.

I used a Penske truck due to budget constraints. The truck was in excellent shape and got really good gas mileage for the size of the truck. I actually had room left over from my 1 bedroom apt. and could have gone down to a 12' truck, but the 16' worked well.

The. People at both Home Depot and Penske were great. The truck was uncomfortable the interior is poorly designed. Ourbw/c kept going on and off. I do not know if they have a long distance truck but they should. Our backs are still hurting and my husband has a bruised knee from the gear shift knob.

The service was good, the staff knowledgeable and courteous. Everything went smoothly - truck rental, confirmation, the truck was there when needed, clean and in excellent condition. We chose an oversized truck - and it made the move so much easier. I chose them for their good reviews and I would definitely go back again.
