U-Haul® Reviews
Uhaul came through for me with the right size truck, for a last minute job move to another state, on a holiday weekend. The truck was easy to drive, clean, and the pickup team was so helpful! As a girl driving a 20 ft truck across 3 states, the techs getting me prepped made me feel so comfortable and gave me tips on driving. The only catch, the price was twice that of Budget (but Budget could not guarantee me a truck the day i needed it).
The reservation process is a nightmare. Online "bookings" are not confirmations, and my online booking could not be honored. I was initially charged for a 24 hour truck even though I told them I would only need the truck for 6 hours. They told me that there were no more trucks available at the $29.95 in town rate, so I had to be charged the 24 hour rate. Prior returning the truck, I received a strange email stating that my return location had changed "in response to our conversation". I did not speak with anyone asking for a change of location. I returned the truck to the original location, and had to see someone at the check in desk. Uhaul is getting 2 stars instead of 1 because the person checking me in gave me the more reasonable rate since I had the truck only for 6 hours and let me check the truck back in even though the return location had been changed. Our 15 ft truck worked well for a one bedroom apartment for 2 people. 6 hours was a rush, but 8 would definitely be do-able.
Uhaul has an Express Check-In which is really not an Express Check-in, more like a Express data-entry. Had to wait in line for 30 minutes. However, the Desk Representative was quick, thorough...! The location of the Uhaul was so close to both my condo and Public Storage.. Couldn't beat it. Truck was clean worked well. For that area the Uhaul store does a tremendous amount of business... Great Service, Great people...
I waited over an hour in line. They workers were as people were talking about things they were not satisfied with and the workers appeared to not care. They brushed a lot of things off and had no respect for reservations. I ended up being late to meet my movers due to the long wait. The workers just really had poor customer service skills. There was one worker who came in after I waited over an hour and he got me checked in under 5 minutes and right into a u-haul. Why the other workers were struggling so bad? He needs to be training the other workers. Oh, one thing though, I was given the u-haul truck with the gas tank on empty... had to use some of my miles to rush to a gas station when they had already made me late for my movers.
