Penske® Reviews
First truck broke down before I could leave Louisiana. Thankful for good friends who provided a place to stay. Unable to fix by roadside assistance, so drove to main Penske rental/service location. Cannot say enough about Nathan and Chris, they kept me informed. Evidently the truck had a history of break pressure issues, despite only 41000 miles. Four hours later, it was determined a new truck would need to be brought in and a crew to unload into a new truck. At 7:30 in the evening 12 hours from when I started I was finally on my way, but it was too late to start my journey west. Would use Penske again, truck was clean and the ride was much better than u-haul. A bigger discount off my rental would of been nice towards the 24 hour delay in getting to final destination.
We had no problems with the truck itself but when we picked up our car trailer it had a flat tire. We waited at Home Depot for 4 hours before they could get someone out to fix the tire. We've rented from Penske in the past with no issues but If your going to rent from them I wouldn't go through Home Depot. They have no quality control.
I have never rented a truck before. Penske or the rental office, I don't know for sure which, was having computer problems so it took and hour to get rental agreement set. We did receive an additional discount because it took so much time to set up the rental. Once I got the truck and started driving it home, there was a low tire indicator that wouldn't go off. The local rental office met me at a filling station in route to my house to check it out and determined it was a faulty sensor. From then on things went smoothly. But it took almost 2 hours to rent the truck and check it out, and I ended up with my loading helpers waiting at the house. The return of the truck after our one way trip was a piece of cake.
