U-Haul® Reviews
Ordered a 17' truck and call me the day I was to pick it up and told me it had mechanical problems and I had gave me a 15' truck. I had to make two trips and incurred 2 additional hours for two movers. Also rented a 6x12 trailer to move some of our belonging to Florida. The trailer had a slow leak in one of the tires. Had to refill it several times during our trip.
I think they were stretched as this is moving season. We reserved our truck >2 mos in advance. The morning before we were supposed to pick it up they notified us that it wasn't available and we'd have to drive an hour away to pick up another truck. They comped the extra gas for that drive and NOTHING else for our inconvenience (added 2+ hours of travel). They told us they would give us an extra day of rental as compensation but then charged us for the extra day anyway. We'll be using Budget next time.
Rented from the Uhaul location on Summer Avenue in Memphis. Very rude and unprofessional. Was met with hostility when I inquired about keeping the truck for 3 extra hours due to movers rescheduling. Had to return original truck and pick up a second truck from a different (much better) location to complete my move. I will never use this location again, and I will probably avoid Uhaul moving forward if at all possible.
Nothing I had requested 2 months in advance was as I had requested. I didn't get the truck I reserved, at the location I reserved with the mobile pickup I reserved. Instead I had to go to a second location, they did provide a larger truck, so that was ok, and the in person pick-up worked ok for me because I was first in line. However, had I showed up one minute later, the line was out the door and I probably would have been delayed an hour. I did notify them of my dissatisfaction and they did reimburse me a portion of my costs.
Reserved a van online about 2 weeks in advance.... Only after arrival, using the App Checkin - did the agent say "we only have a 10'box truck for you." (ugh, fine. (but got a partial refund to offset gas and larger-truck driving concerns). The App was dumb, I should have just used the local staff onsite. Part two: my return "due back" time got adjusted somehow during that whole process... What was supposed to be a 24 hour rental turned into a 22hr? weird. check in (via a human), was quick and easy.
The U-Haul company called me a week after I booked to say they didn’t have my truck. I told them I needed the 15 foot that next day. They “worked it out”. We go to this shady Ace Hardware to sign in then to a frankly scary lot a mile or so down the road to actually get it. The truck was 12 foot and they gave the person behind us a 15 foot. I had to leave furniture behind and we were moving to a new state and I’m devastated. The woman who answered the phone at the hardware was also very rude. The signage was no help at all to find it either.
We rented a 20ft truck and the truck itself was great. The customer services wasn't though. They changed the address of our pickup to half way across the city on the day we were supposed to pick it up, and sent a very confusing email to tell us. The dude who gave us our order of boxes and supplies was incredibly rude and tried to short us on our boxes, claiming he ?Hadn't finished" even though he had walked away. The truck itself was great, but the experience around it wasn't.
The amount of mileage allowed before charging extra was not even close to the minimum I needed to get the truck to the loading point, then get to the destination, then drive to the drop off point Uhaul wanted. I did not go anywhere else. Other than that, no complaints. I rented two trucks on different days and the above applies to both.
