U-Haul® Reviews
I usually use Uhaul just because they were close to my old neighborhood. Their in store service is sometimes lacking but they make up for it with helpful staff at their call centers. When the system tried to have me return my truck over an hour away the call center staff made sure I made it to the proper department who manually changed the route so that I could take it somewhere much closer.
We felt the mileage seemed a bit off. Should have checked the miles/gas before leaving the lot as UHaul charges for every mile. Would use again for short distance moves but maybe not if need to do multiple trips to storage unit. Mileage ended up costing thrice the basic rental rate. Adds to the stress of moving.
The equipment (truck and car transporter) were great and worked fine. But the staff at the Worcester office seem overworked and unable to remember the idea or value of being friendly. U Haul policy sends you to whatever location they need to to find your truck. This always poses an inconvenience on moving day. I wish they could have internal drivers move the reserved truck to the location for the customer.
U-Haul truck was fine - no real issues with the truck, but I reserved this truck a month in advance and discovered the day of my rental that they moved the pick-up location 40 minutes away *without telling me about it*. I just happened to load my reservation in their app and it showed a different pick-up location. I assumed the app was wrong because the U-Haul website showed my pickup location still at my original requested location, and it was only after a call to their tech support that I discovered that I did, in fact, have to go another 40 minutes away to get my truck...
At first I went with Penske,bad choice. They did not show up with the truck, or dolly or blankets, as promised. They are also more expense than Uhaul. Got Uhaul with no problems, a 20 foot truck,$29.95 for 24 hrs.plus miles($69.95 for a 16 foot for Penske) Uhaul was clean and in good condition.Easy in and out.
