Every thing went fairly smooth...except the truck was in poor condition and had a transmission issue. I reached my destination 350 miles away, but I had to wonder the whole way if I was gonna make it. Not a fun drive. When I turned the truck in 2 days early and suggested they use that time to get the truck fixed, they were fairly rude. I did not as for a refund, nor was I rude. I just figured they would want to know that the truck was not running right. Apparently they did not.

Rented the 26 foot truck for the move and to haul our car. The truck had no get up and go, which was very dangerous when trying to go up any kind of incline. The truck would only go 40mph going up in lines and when trying to re-enter onto the interstate from either a rest area or from a truck stop.

The truck was clean and ready. The truck had mechanical problems during the move. Penske sent out someone to bring us to a motel and towed the moving truck with our furniture, etc. to their shop in the area. Penske towed the whole moving truck to our destination location so we could unload as scheduled. When the truck was unloaded, Penske came and towed the truck to their local repair shop.

They moved house hold items from a storage locker, and also from my Mothers apartment about 2 miles from each others. Then I drove the truck 637 miles. Now I am having others movers unload today, using this same Hire a Helper. Obviously they do NOT check out the companies they register as stated .

The truck was ready when I went to pick it up. The Customer Service gentleman was very friendly and informative! The truck was a smoother ride than the previous times I've used U-Haul. I chose Penske because they were about $500 cheaper for the same size truck than U-Haul and A LOT cheaper than hiring movers. I would absolutely use Penske again!

First truck was filthy, beat up and old. Second truck was a little better, but still below expectations of other online reviews. Very disappointed, in fact return location manager was appalled by truck condition and this was the "better" truck. Houston, TX locations known for renting poor quality vehicles.

Horrible Didn't have blankets in truck, didn't have trailer connected and the truck I rented shook violently, I had to add a gallon and a half of oil over 800 miles span, the two tires I complained about blew out on the trailer and the truck couldn't go up even a tiny in town hill at any speed greater than 40mph, the truck Penske said would fit a 4 bedroom home did not and we had to rent a second truck from uhaul. The oil leaking from the engine got all over the car being towed and my other car following, DO NOT RENT FROM PENSKE!

We picked up the Penske truck which was the perfect size to fit our 2 bedroom apartment. The truck was in good condition, and the company ensured to communicate all of the rules for the truck. I would use Penske again, I've used other companies, but this was the best experience thus far.

No hidden costs, paid what I expected. Don't rent the Ford!!! I love Ford vehicles but the Penske version of them (16' truck) did not have cruise control, not a very comfortable 960 mile drive. Also used Pak-Rat but have Pod in storage until we purchase a new house.

Penske was a great experience. We rented a truck that was a tad too big, but you never know until you get the stuff in there, right? The truck we rented (22ft) was a bit difficulty to maneuver, but we made it from Louisiana to Ohio without incident. The service representatives were helpful and very friendly at both locations (pick-up and drop-off). They were very willing to answer any questions.

We wish the 26 ft. truck had come with a ramp rather than a lift gate. It made loading and unloading move slower because the men weren't familiar with the mechanics.

They were very quick to get the truck loaded, however we asked them to use the furniture pads and they didn't now I have furniture that is really messed up. The wood pieces have huge scratches and dents in it. I cried when I saw it coming off the truck and how my beautiful furniture is now junk!

truck was great, they charge a lot more than uhaul does for the same sized truck, but i find them to be more reliable, and I think the lift gate is more useful than having the lower truck bed like uhaul has. The largest problem is that I also reserved 3 dozen furniture pads, and the home depot I rented the truck from only had 18 pads. They only charged me for the 18....but I needed 3 dozen for a reason.

Truck was ready and waiting. Had a brand new truck. The car carrier was broken and had to be switched out and then within the first hour it got a flat tire. They did come rather promptly to repair it and get me back on my way. Overall, very satisfied with the experience. This is my fourth time using Penske and my second for a 1-way trip. All have been good to great.

Penske is a company we have used before and I find their services quite good. The staff were pleasant and friendly. My only concern is that while I reserved a hand-truck, I came to find that upon pick up they were all out. It would be helpful if they notified customers in advance of such a occurrences if at all possible.

The truck was new and in great condition when I rented it, and did a fantastic job of getting over the Continental Divide while fully loaded. The translucent roof was not only water-tight but allowed enough light through for houseplants to make the trip (one of them even went into bloom in the process). I felt very secure driving the truck the whole way. Customer service was fantastic every time I had to call them, and their online-booking and AAA discounts helped a lot, too.
