Penske was the best deal from all of the companies we looked at in respect to renting a truck - from the actual truck to supplies. The only comment is that the movers who we hired to load our truck recommended that we have about 100 pads for a move such as ours-- and I don't recall Penske stating anything like that on their site. In the end we were able to rent 60 pads- the rental location didn't have extra -- and we could have used probably another dozen or two dozen-- pads are worth it since they are protecting everything.

Pick up service in Wauwatosa, WI was excellent. Agent was pleasant and knowledgeable. The equipment was ready, clean and in great working order. No mechanical issues during trip. Return to truck in Hayward, CA was acceptable. (Remember to ask about the discount for using Hireahelper up front - not 'available' on return of truck)

Truck cab in good condition. Upon driving, it felt like wheels needed to be aligned. I rented a 12 foot truck but was not informed by the rental company that the rear wheel wells protrude into the bed of the truck. These wheel wells caused me some trouble as it was difficult to pack large furniture items into the bed without encountering the obstruction caused by the wheel wells. Overall, Penske trucks are in much better condition than their competitor's trucks. I would rent from them again.

After several emails reminding me that the truck would be ready for pick-up at the Home Depot store in Decatur, it was not available when I showed up for pick-up. Rather than being honest and indicating that there was an issue I got these responses that it would be there in 35-40 minutes, then when still not there it was increments of 10 min. I got the truck at 11am, when my timing and moving crew timing was tight already (added 3 hours to the day of loading, since I had to pick up items north of Atlanta and had to do so in the peak evening traffic because of the delay)! And to make matters worse, since they offered a 10% discount, that further delayed it because if was payed by a credit card that was not my own. Just frustrating. Otherwise the truck was in good condition and the return was a breeze.

I highly recommend Penske, customer service was excellent here in the Coral Springs, Fl area where I rented the truck and in Arlington, Va. Mr. Pye Sint from the Coral Springs office gave us a lot of information about everything and was super nice as well as J. Nelson from the Arlington office. Great people and good prize.

We used Budget Trucks in the past and never again. Not only did Penske fight for our business by adding discount upon discount, their truck was better quality and we were able to get a full 26-footer and a tow dolly for our car as we wanted. The staff in the Las Vegas office was excellent, giving us another generous and unexpected discount. I'm a convert to Penske!

I had reserved a Uhaul truck, but the day before use, it was scheduled for too late in the day. In a panic, I was able to reserved a Penske truck and they saved the day! It was relatively new and drove well. It was clean and the moving pads did their job. Great experience with Penske!

We rented the truck and moved ourselves. The truck was clean and in good working order. The car carrier was fine, a truck driver did notice we had a low tire. We called Penske and they sent a repair man. He changed the tire and checked the rest of the tires.

Everything went very well. They didn't have the moving blankets when I arrived to pick up the truck but they delivered them to my house about 1 hour later. The truck was full of fuel and clean when picking it up. I used Penske because the 26 foot van had a diesel engine. I definitely would use them again. The only bad thing about the truck was that the seat was not very comfortable f.or driving 10-12 hours a day

No complaints. Truck was in very good condition and did it's job. I reserved online but their customer service called me about a week before to confirm everything and was nice and professional. The customer service was also professional during pick up. I don't drop the truck off until tomorrow but I imagine that the customer service during drop off will be good as well. The main reason I picked Penske over the rest was cost - they offered a discount for booking online plus a discount for being a AAA member.

I told the phone rep several times the size of my storage unit, and expressed doubt I needed such a big truck. I was talked into way to big a truck that was just hell through the mountains. The brakes were extremely stiff and even downshifting I could not go up a moderate hill faster than 35 while I saw Uhauls with the same length take the hills with no issues. I chose Penske for a guaranteed reservation when I heard Uhaul doesn't always honor a reservation. I will never use Penske again especially with the ramps being so high...very difficult to load and unload.

The pick up time took over an hour A little too long. The truck seemed to run like it was missing. It got bogged down a lot and we only got 5 -6 miles to the gallon. It was very expensive to pay for the gas to move, much more than I expected.
