U-Haul® Reviews
This is the third time we've rented a U-Haul truck for a move, and their service is consistently good. This was a local move, and it was by far the best experience of the three. It was super easy to pick up and drop off our truck at the same location, and because the staff recognized us from the pick-up the night before, our drop-off was very fast and efficient.
The Uhaul folks had reasonable pricing (it was helpful that they had signage advising people of the size vehicle they would need, based on your # of Bedrooms etc.). Only 'snafu' was that I worked with my moving company to reserve a truck, and there was some difficulty finding my order in the system upon my arrival to pick up the truck at the rental center. We were able to get it squared away and still come away with what we needed. I recognize the luck involved in this, since we were moving on the tail-end of a holiday weekend when other people were needing the same 'inventory'... Overall, it was a smooth process.
The truck was assigned 24 hours before even though we booked it 3 weeks ago. The rental truck itself was clean and well maintained. My drive had no major issues, expect the cabin noise. My only annoyance is that they dont fill up the gas tank and you have to return it at the same level. This means you have to do a lot of mental calculations to make sure you will have enough gas for the trip while not returning the truck with more gas than required.
Did the Uhaul iPhone checkin/checkout and they had issues with keeping their site up. It took multiple tries and extra time to do each. Better served to do it in person. Got charged and extra day even though I only used the truck 13 hours and picked it up and turned it in the same day. I suppose their days are 12 hours. May talk to a human and nail down the details about late turn-in next time if I use U-Haul again.
Rented a 15 ft box truck for a local move for 6 hrs - easy to drive and was ready early for pickup. The 3rd seat in the front was a nice plus. It was the perfect size for our 2 bedroom 1 bath small apartment. Only issue I had was that the air conditioning in the truck did not work and the model I had did not have a backup camera (I had one before that did and it was very helpful).
