U-Haul® Reviews
I reserved 2 months in advance for an out of state move. The day before my move they called telling me they didn't have the truck size I reserved and also changed the location of my truck pick up which was another 15 minutes in the opposite direction. The did give me extra miles and an extra day seeing that I was getting a smaller truck and needed to make 2 trips. The day of my move I was called 3 hours before I was to pick up the truck and was told I would have to drive an hour away (to another state) to pick up the truck. The day I returned the truck to the location that I agreed to in my reservation I was told at drop off that I was a day late and at the wrong location. At some point they changed my dropoff location another hour away. I walked away and left the truck at the location I agreed to in the first place. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I'd never use Uhaul again.
Rented a 15' truck and vehicle trailer to pull a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. Moving from a ~1400sqft 3br/2ba house into a 1150sqft 2br/2ba 2nd floor apartment. Ended up upgrading to a 20' truck - probably could have made the 15' work, but it would have been a tight squeeze. Pickup/dropoff went smoothly, and the agent at my departure location was a total bro and added on an extra few days of truck rental for no charge.
Truck worked fine. My reservation was converted to a 24/7 Truck Share rental even though I requested a counter pickup. The checkout/checkin process for Truck Share is a little fussy, and despite the "24/7" in the name, I found that when I attempted a late-evening return, I couldn't access the parking lot where I was told to leave the truck (the gate was locked). I had to leave the truck in another area instead.
I have used the same Uhaul Rental site for several years and continue to recommend them. They are courteous and efficient providing well-maintained trucks and trailers at a competitive price. The single issue I would highlight arose as a result of the company trying to move (apparently) all business transactions to the cloud with all customers using the Uhaul app to transact and complete the rental agreement including completing and signing the contract, and payment. This is a good business decision but the app was not as intuitive as I would have liked and on multiple occasions during the check-out process the sales rep had to leave her desk to show me where on the app the specific button or toggle switch was located. Upon my arrival to check out the vehicle the customer ahead of me seemed to be having similar issues. While I will accept a level of responsibility (i.e., familiarize myself with the app) I would suggest the company continue to improve their app to make it more user friendly and intuitive. The overall rental process was solid and I would recommend Uhaul for future needs.
