I was pleasantly surprised that after traveling 1500 miles over 3 days with 2 people and a dog, that my body didn't hurt. The comfort bench in the cab is indeed surprisingly comfortable and supportive over the long haul. I had a 26' Penske truck and a 3 bed/2.5 bath ~1600 sq ft house and the movers got everything in with some room to spare. We were very pleased with the size, cost, cleanliness, truck mechanics and so on. Would highly recommend Penske truck rentals for all your moving needs!

We had used tires on the truck and the tread flew off one of the tires on the interstate. They were quick to respond once we got through roadside maintenance, but that call was about 50 minutes long.

The truck was in very good condition and drove well. Customer service during booking and pick-up was very helpful. Gas mileage was poor, therefore quite costly. This was due to the weight of the contents, therefore understandable, but renters should be aware of the $$ they will spend driving.

Our truck was originally booked as a 16ft and later changed to a 22ft. Apparently this cause all sorts of problems. After 2 hours at Home Depot, we finally got the key for the original 16ft we booked. After going to the truck, we realized there was not a dolly as per our online booking. So we had to buy one. The Home Depot employees were very nice, even dispite having other customers with the same issue that we had, having to deal with a smaller truck.

It would have been nice if they had done a better job helping us pick the right size truck. We got a 16' truck and only filled 1/3 of it (a 10' truck would have made much more sense). It also would have been nice to know that the truck only got 8.4 MPG as it cost about $300 in fuel for the trip. The truck was in excellent condition (it was basically comfortable to sit in for 17 hours) - although the rails inside were so close to the wall that it made it difficult to tie things to it (we were surprised there were no rings or other devices to tie rope to in order to keep things from shifting around). The customer service was good. I'll check into other companies next time (we made this reservation based on a friend's suggestion).

Got a 16' moving van for a one way from Richmond VA to Manhattan. The van came with a dolly and I got 12 moving blankets. The van ran well and handled fine. Terrible gas mileage - but it's a 16' van what do you expect, right? Got it at home depot, dropped off at Chelsea Rentals on 26th street. Great customer service at Chelsea Rentals. Penske was less expensive than U-Hual too.

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!

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!
