Penske® Reviews
Penske did great job of meeting my needs. However, their 3rd party site for truck pickup (Got Storage in Layton, Utah) was AWFUL. They were supposed to open at 9:00 a.m. but never arrived. At 9:10 I called Penske's 1-800 number and they couldn't contact anyone at the company either. Penske found me a replacement truck 20 miles away. An inconvenience but they made things right. Trust Penske but stay away from Got Storage.
I always worry what I am going to get when I hire unknown labor. Well, boy was i surprised with these guys. They worked their ass off. Made recommendations and stayed tell the end. You will be fortunate to have these guys load or unload your truck trailer or what ever. They we on time, they were prepared, worked very hard, were respectful or me and my property. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM AND YES I WOULD REQUEST THEM AGAIN.
The place in Torrance where I picked up the truck offered no instruction on driving a 22 ft truck. I am a woman in her fifties and I drove the truck. The trucks are delivered to them on a need to have standard. They did not have the furniture pads delivered with the truck which caused a huge delay in putting my movers who were on the clock to work. Nothing was ready to pick up at the promised time. It was a very bad experience that turned an anticipated long day into a nightmare of traffic due to delays and an arrival in Sacramento at 3:30 am. It was a 22 hour day.
The truck was fine, however, when we returned the truck we where told the packing blankets had to be folded. Had we know this, we would have had the movers fold them. Instead when my wife and I arrived we where told this had to be done and so we had to climb into the 26 ft truck and fold 3 dozen blankets in 90 degree heat at our age 71 and 68 years of age this was not acceptable.
Everything seemed fine at first, but I got billed twice for WAY more than I should have, and when I called the local number that I had used before- it said to check the number or try again later. I called the one down the street and got the same thing. I don't know if they just went out of business in our town, or what?! I need to know who to talk to so I can get my statement fixed. I left a note for corporate, but have heard nothing back.
After UHaul gave my truck away to someone else, I called Penske 30 minutes before my movers were coming and they hooked me up with a truck in no time flat! I will NEVER use UHaul again! I had the truck for 2 days and was told rates vary and are higher on the 1st and 30th of each month when most people move.
So glad I went with Penske. Truck was new and a little better on gas than I expected. Box is square with no loss of the wheel wells. Easy to pack tightly. Initially their price was higher than Uhaul and Budget. I decided to call them to see if they could come close to the deal Budget was offering. They ended up beating it by a few dollars. So definitely call them last. I would pay at least 20% more for Penske in the future.
I picked up a 16' Penske truck in Salt Lake City, loaded it with my goods, and dropped in off in Brooklyn. Throughout the process of reserving the truck, picking it up and dropping it off, Penske was a pleasure to deal with. They were hassle free, provide precise and reliable information, confirmed everything by email, lived up their promise of a quality truck and their price quotation. I will unquestionably use them whenever I have a similar need in the future.
I rented a 16ft truck and tow dolly to attach my car. At pickup there were no dollys available, so they gave me a car carrier instead at the same price. The truck was fairly new (less than 10k miles), and I had no problems using it or the car carrier. The size of the truck was just about perfect for our 1bd apartment.
