Penske® Reviews
Penske was great. It was cost effective, the truck was comfortable, and the people were great when it came to reserving, picking up and dropping off the truck. I did have a problem with the trailer jack when it was time to drop it off but they were 100% understanding and helped me fixed the problem. If I decided to do a self move again I will definitely use penkse and I have already recommended them to my friends who are moving in a couple of months.
Truck had consistent issues with the diesel particulate filter, causing me to have to idle for over an hour altogether and waste gas for a move that was supposed to be just a few miles. The rental locations at Home Depot are never staffed properly, I would recommend only using actual locations when possible.
Dropping off the truck proved to be less then pleasant. They seemed determined to make money on something. They tried to charge for existing scratches even though it was listed on the initial inspection of the truck. Called originating place of pick up and was told the scratches were already there and refused to charge for scratches. They then argued that the gas tank should have been full even though when it was picked up it was 7/8 full and reflected it on the contract.Through all the hassle and confusion driver filled up the truck do to frustration and exhaustion from trip. The drop off location was Storage Village in Fayetteville Georgia.I hate businesses that try to nickel and dime you.In all fairness the pick up location in Stafford Virginia was professional and honest.
Penske Truck Rental was great! The 16' truck was very easy to drive and was big enough for all of my items, including two full bedroom sets and LOTS of kitchen boxes. The truck was clean upon pickup (almost brand new; only 1600 miles on it). Customer service was great, although I ended up with a slightly better rate booking it myself via the internet with the HireAHelper discount added in. I would definitely use them again.
We ordered 22' truck with car trailer to be put on after we loaded truck. Truck was newer with less than 20,000 miles but was 26'. (This sounds great until you try and maneuver it thru traffic with the car carrier on the back!) Trailer was attached and there was no one available to help us unattach it :( We finally figured it out & took the truck to load. Upon our return we had to reattach the trailer without any help :( Truck ran ok except uphill was very slow. Air conditioner worked great.
