U-Haul® Reviews
It was super easy to pick up and return the rental through the 24/7 app pick up. I’m Not sure if it’s in the instructions I probably should’ve looked before but it requires additional verification, I think maybe if the contract holder and driver have different names. There’s an alternate contact option and the person has to be available to answer the phone, passport and/or your lease agreement and you have to choose 2. But it was still pretty easy and straightforward.
Our stuff was transported on time, safely, and in great shape. As long as we didn’t have to make any changes or need customer service, it was great. If we needed ANY customer service, it was a challenge and the app… the app is virtually worthless and slow to make any changes or do anything but make an initial reservation.
U-Haul provided me with a truck that had known issues. The mechanic at the pickup site snickered as he asked me if I was traveling far, proceeded to reset the vehicle diagnostic code with his scanner, and allowed me to drive the 26ft moving truck with an attached car hauling trailer across country "2100 miles" even though I asked for another vehicle. The truck had little power, spit and sputtered under Excelleration, and the fuel milage reflected a vehicle that was not fully operational.
I brought the household to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh for an unload and carry. I think that, 'We pick Things Up and Put Things Down' could have provided better equipment for them, but the crew said "No Problem" and did the job. The owner, Karim, was good, I lost no time, nothing was damaged, so no complaints
Truck was available, but not too close, and the lots that were close never answered their phones or returned calls. Had to call the central number for help, which they happily gave. Also...the 24/7 pickup sounds like a great idea, but their app is a 100% pain in the butt. I had used that same EXACT app nearly four years ago and all the bugs and bad UI is STILL there. It is very time consuming and in some place is confusing and makes no sense. FIX THAT! It's 2023 U-Haul! And their size estimator sucks. Had to get an additional trailer, which I found out was pretty much how it goes with them. And it was freaking expensive for a one-way (which I can understand to a degree). All that said, the equipment was clean enough and did what it was supposed to do.
