Penske® Reviews
I'd used Penske before and ultimately was happy with Penske this time. However, I had ordered a 24 ft truck and was given a 28 ft truck (with wobbly steering). Even thought it was the 4th of July weekend, Penske towed the 28 ft truck and delivered a 16 ft (only one available) within 3-4 h. The new truck was wonderful. Easy to drive. My only other concern was the distance I had to travel to return the truck from my new home to the drop off (1 1/2 h away). Oregon might be growing, but it still has some frontier aspects!
When the customer ask for the total cost, provide the whole cost with all fees and charges. So that the customer can budget all charges. I was given the wrong type of dolly which the movers couldn't use for moving boxes. It was return and No refund was credited. No one inform the customer that the deposit may take 7 business day before it will be returned. Over all good service. Thank you.
Penske was on top of things. Their online system was user-friendly and the customer service people I spoke with were helpful and informative. The 26' truck was clean and in great condition, and it drove like a dream for something so huge. No problems at all. I'd definitely rent a truck from them again.
James ensured, from first phone call to check out, that this was an exceptional experience. Spotless new truck with all the features I needed, impressive to the moving crew! I had not driven this kind of truck before, but James gave me the information to try and I am glad I have that experience now! Penske Lumberton was EXCEPTIONAL. I chose this company after extensive research - this company consistently had the highest review. James made sure that reputation was served very well at the Lumberton office. EXCEPTIONAL.
Penske in Waterbury, CT. Speak with Jed Phillip. He was terrific to work with. We rented two trucks, a 26' and 16' plus 5 dozen blankets. (blankets are on the small size). The trucks were brand new, which was great. Everything worked without a hitch and we'd highly recommend Penske Rental for your next move.
Smart Move was an exceptional company to work with. They performed excellently on all of the promises of service and quality they made. Brandon in heaquarters, and Cody and Jason the crew, were all very professional. Additionally, the Cody and Jason were efficient and courteous, worked very hard, and did a superb job of loading our apartment belongs into our Penske truck in a stable and secure manner. I would use Smart Move, and the Cody and Jason again in a heartbeat!
Freddy and Anthony were our movers. Both were very professional and fast workers. They were able to complete our load within the 2 hour minimum. We only had a 12 ft. box truck but Freddy was able to fit all of our heavy furniture into it - we still don't know how it did it! Highly recommend these two workers. Great job!
Penske's price was right after the AAA discount. Pickup and drop off were simple, although on drop off the agent who inspected it tried to blame me for a faulty repair on one of the caps on the box of the truck. The truck itself did get the job done, a 1,300 mile move loaded completely. I would say the truck was in desperate need of maintenance though. It was advertised as having radio, USB, and aux. It didn't have USB, and neither the radio nor the aux jack were functional. The engine light came on about 900 miles in and never went away, apparently a problem with emissions. Finally, the oil is the dirtiest oil I'd ever seen. Really, guys, change the oil in your trucks.
The truck was nearly brand new and full of gas however it reeked of cigarettes and the cab was covered with the ashes of someone who smoked with the window cracked so little ashes were all over the cab. There was also pet hair of some sort on the floor board. The cargo area had not been cleaned and there was trash though not a lot left inside. The moving pads we ordered were not available at the site we picked the truck up from (Home Depot) and they did not even offer to pull from the stores inventory to provide them. Not a big deal? I made reservation on the 21st of June and picked the truck up on the 5th of July. I had flown in from Nashville, TN to Beaumont, TX and had movers scheduled and waiting to load the truck. I really don't see any excuse for it considering the amount of time they had to prepare.
Booked a Penske truck and were guaranteed a truck but they couldn't say if it would be the 22 or 26-foot, either one would work for us and we ended up with 26 which is more common. It drove ok for a truck of that size and was clean and easy enough to pick up and drop off. No complaints and the price was great compared to others we quoted.
