U-Haul® Reviews
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.
I received a very new truck, with approximately 23000 miles. No rattles, squeaks or cargo leaks when it rained, which beat a previous Penske experience I had. The truck was very usable, with all things in working order and good suspension for a box truck. I'd definitely go with UHaul again for truck quality alone.
I always us UHaul when I rent a truck for moving. I reserved my truck about 3 weeks in advance and it was waiting for me the morning I picked it up. The only issue I had is that in the inspection before I took the truck, I didn't think to check the ramp. The ramp was broken (came all the way out of the truck and was hard to put back in). The moving help I hired found the problem and were thankfully able to rig it so it would work and I didn't have to return it. This could have been disastrous as I had hired moving help for a set time and could not have made the move without help. Next time I will definitely check ALL parts of the truck.
The truck smelled of cigarette smoke. I am allergic to cigarette smoke so it was very uncomfortable. It was raining very hard and they parked the truck right were the drainage run off from the building so I had to wade through ankle deep water. The first truck they were going to rent to me only had a 1/4 tank of gas and I asked them if there was one that was full. If you are moving do you really want to take the time to have to go fill the truck up before you even start. The answer is NO. All your trucks should be clean and smoke free and the gas tank be full prior to renting. Upon check in I felt like the customer service person did not appear to want to be at work due to the manner I was checked out upon the return of the truck.
