U-Haul® Reviews
Truck was not at the place of reservation however they did send me to another hub to pick it up. That’s where the problem began. No truck. Waited an hour while they tried to find one but was told to come back in three hours. Got the truck three hours later. Made the trip 150 miles to my destination and to the U-Haul storage center. I had lined up helpers to meet me there to unpack the 26’ truck however I was told my reservation was there but they had no units available. What?? They tried for over 30 minutes to resolve this issue but couldn’t. Now I’m stuck with looking for a storage unit tomorrow (Monday) and figuring out how to unpack a 26’ truck. Not happy.
U-Haul was great. Truck was big, easy to load, and the check-in/check-out service was quick and easy. One thing I can’t fault them for too much on local trucks is that they overstated the amount of fuel in the tank. We completed the entire move without the needle moving much so I’m guessing if everyone does that they will end up buying fuel. So essentially they are trying to get the occasional sucker to fill the tank back up for them...
A 15' truck and auto trailer. I even lost the key after getting to my destination. Uhaul roadside assistance was very helpful in getting a locksmith to come to me and cut a new key. Found the key in the sun visor the next day lol, $100 lesson for a "dumb" key could have been upwards of 250 for a smart/electronic key.
Both pick-up and drop-off offices were prompt and professional. Truck was clean and in good shape. Unfortunately, not much can be said for the online process. Prior to moving day they moved my truck pickup to another office approximately 30 minutes away and they only gave me notice a day and a half before so I didn't have enough time to adjust or look for other arrangements. I also learned from one of the office staff that the online reservations will regularly overbook, and that he frequently has no truck to offer people. If you decide to rent from uhaul, just call the local office to make your arrangements. It helps ensure you'll have a truck when you need it, and that you don't get shuffled to a location three towns over from you.
