Excellent. Excellent. Expensive. Excellent. So I say that to say overall it was excellent service, clean trucks, working order, courteous staff, very easy to do business with, but it will cost more than Uhaul.

I really like renting from Penske. They offer discounts for AAA members and they're equipment is always in great shape. They are always extremely nice when you go to pick up and drop off your truck. I highly recommend them.

We used Penske for a cross country move and the trucks, price and costumer service were fantastic. Then, we used them again for local move, to move items from storage to home and our 16 ft truck cost nearly as much as 24 ft. Cross country truck! Much better for long distance move....way too pricey for local moves

The truck was clean and full of fuel on pickup at Home Depot. I could have used some instruction and there should have been a better inspection of vehicle damage. When I turned the truck in the inspector noted the damage not identified by Home Depot but recognized that the damage was old damage (just some dings and scrapes).

Penske came through for us. First I had booked Budget and 3 days before our move they couldn't guarantee me that we would have a truck even though I booked it weeks in advance. They said to call back the day before and they would have a better idea then if a truck would be available. I paid a little more with Penske but that may have been because it was a short notice booking of only 3 days before I needed the truck. They guarantee a truck will be there and for that it was well worth a few more dollars. Go PENSKE!!

It was a newer truck (34k miles) and we had no mechanical problems. We fit a LOT of stuff in that truck! Problem: very high deck with narrow ramp. Kind of precarious with big furniture. Slow on uphill climbs (but it was heavily loaded).

The truck did as well as I could have expected. 26' truck jam packed and pulling a 5000 pound van on a car hauler. We got about 8 mpG. It ran good, top speed was about 70 but got down to 40 on steep inclines. Definitely use penske over uhaul. I was blowing by similar sized uhaul trucks. Book online and get 10% off, then join AAA and get another 10% off. Ends up being way cheaper than uhaul and getting 20% better mileage

Overall the 26 ft Penske truck was very good; clean, automatic, AC, ran well. However, the person who checked us out and explained the features of the truck told us there was a dual fuel tank. We realized this was not true, the hard way, we ran out of gas on I-95. I also think they should at least mention that the truck is not allowed on certain roads and we should map our route very carefully. For example, the Garden State Parkway is a no-no with this rental truck. This could have been really bad, thank goodness we realized this soon after entering. These two issues set us back about 3 hours.

The truck was great. far better than any uhaul I've drive, but the pick-up and drop-off was very time consuming. The particular home depot location I picked up in Atlanta was terrible - took well over an hour and the customer service was just downright rude.

The 26' truck was decent but had no working radio and no cushion to the seats, we drove for two days so this was a big deal. The trailer we ordered wasn't there when we arrived but they brought it to us 4 hours later. Good deal for the money, however the truck was a gas guzzler be sure to use online calculator to budget for gas then add an extra 30-50% just to be on the safe side. (We used 50% more than the calculator budgeted but we were hauling a trailer and driving through mountains for an eighth of the trip.)

I initially reserved a 22ft box truck. The week before our move their district office (Mobile, AL) called me and asked if I would consider a 26ft, power lift-gate truck - they needed to get this truck to the Orlando, FL area (we were moving near there) in the worst way. I told them that as long as it didn't cost more I would be okay with that. In hindsight, I should have asked for a reduced rate because using a lift-gate - instead of a ramp - it takes MUCH longer to load and unload the truck. As it turns out, I had to pay my "helpers" $100 more because of the extra time it took to load the truck. Also, because of a "screen" that is installed at the bottom of the neck of the gas tank, it is difficult to fill the tank with fuel. I saw diesel in the neck of the fuel tank before I turned the truck in, but the fuel gauge only read 7/8th full. The office I returned the truck to was going to charge me over $70 for fuel (at $8/gallon I might add) until I raised such a stink that they gave me a "customer satisfaction refund." Although it is unlikely that I will need another truck rental in my lifetime, if I do, it will NOT be with Penske!

The truck ran well but seemed loose in the steering. We reported this upon returning the truck. The seat was extremely uncomfortable and didn't go back far enough to give me the leg room I would have preferred. Overall we were pleased with the vehicle and the safe trip.

I have used Penske for long moves in the past. The trucks come to me clean, inspected, ready to go. The process of renting and returning the truck is smooth. The truck is easy to drive. The backup help from Penske is superb. (The brake lights did not work on the car carrier and they sent a repair person out to my home immediately to fix them.) The truck made the trip, which included lots of steep grades, just fine.
