U-Haul® Reviews
Finding the right sized truck in stock and near me was a little frustrating, but once it was found, the pickup was a breeze. THe dropoff was a little frustrating because I was directed to a dropoff point where there was nobody present, and it made me nervous to leave the truck and trust it would be processed properly.
We rented a U-haul 26ft truck and a car dolly. It was very clean when we picked it up for a 1200 mile drive from Hudson, Fl to Toledo, Ohio. The cost of the trip was $1076.00. The employees at the pick-up site for the truck and the drop-off site were very friendly and professional taking the time to answer all our questions. We have used U-Hall in the past and will use them again when we move in a few months again. We were very pleased with this company.
Truck clean and in top operational condition. Check in at pickup very quick. Drop off location claimed I would have to pay $3/blanket for any moving blankets not folded. Later, on reviewing my contract, I did not find any requirement or penalty for not folding blankets. Don't appreciate being scammed.
I ordered a 26 foot truck one month in advance at the u- haul center in medford n.y. For a sunday move,and on the Saturday before i called them to make sure the truck would be there, they were suppose to call me the day before.well i found out by phone call as i was pulling into their lot on sunday that the truck was rented two days prior and not returned yet.they said i could have a smaller 20 footer for less money since they didn't have another 26 footer on the property.i had movers coming in one hour so i had no choice.i chose this u-haul because it's a u-haul center that can get any size truck , not a u-haul distributor that only gets trucks dropped off.anyway they lowered the milage rate since now i needed two trips instead of one.i spent less on the 20 footer but i ended up paying overtime to the movers because of the extra trip. This was my first bad experience with u-haul but the last time i used them was 40 years ago when i moved in..and that was a 26 foot truck then.
Fair on the truck, leaked water, the first truck the AC did not work...door for driver would not lock rattled..had to go to another Uhaul dealer and get another truck after driving 65 miles out of my way to eastern TN to rent the first one..finally found what I needed only 18 miles in my own city...The U haul site directed me to TN as my dealer was closed at the time I had to do the booking.
Jose and his team from Sebastian Moving and More arrived promptly at 8:20 and their arrival window was between 8:00 and 9:00. They came ready to work and began immediately to determine what was to be loaded. They were extremely organized as they packed the truck meticulously to minimize any wasted space. They worked continually until the truck was packed as tight as possible, They were a pleasure as they could work and talk at the same time....meaning that they didn't stop working to talk. All of the Sebastian team were very respectful of my family, me, and my belongings. I intend to move another truck load within the next month and will request Sebastian Moving and the Jose Team.
Equipment (truck and auto trailer) was in good shape - and exactly what I needed. I did have to go a bit out of the way ( approx. 50 miles) to retrieve the equipment - but an allowance was made for that within the contract. Overall - a good experience. The truck ran great the whole way. The truck was a little bigger than I needed - but allowed for in-cab seating of three people which was a requirement.
I was really happy with the truck, it was brand new! What a nice surprise to have for our out of state move. I did not like that my pick up location was moved 40 min away from my preferred location the day before I was to pick it up. Nor did I appreciate the worker at the gas station giving me a very uneducated guess when I asked why my truck was costing me $120 more than I was told online.
