U-Haul® Reviews
Truck was in excellent condition except the air conditioning doesn't work when going up a hill. Weird. The pickup was very smooth. The confirmation call was poor. The caller told me that the 10 foot truck (I reserved a 25 foot truck) would be ready at 10:00 am (I reserved it for 8:00 am). Sloppy. But it all worked out ok.
The staff at the rental office went above and beyond to help me solve a problem. Unfortunately, the problem was caused by some corporate folks who apparently thought my car would fit on their auto transport trailer, and it did not. So, Uhaul corporate gets zero stars, but the Uhaul rental store folks in Auburn, Washington get a bazillion stars!
The 17 foot U-Haul truck I had rented ran very well, was clean and newer, and had everything in working order (including the great air conditioning). The U-Haul truck was absolutely perfect for my move. I have always used U-Haul trucks for my moves over the past many years, and I will continue to give the U-Haul company my business in the future as well as recommend them to other people who need the great services they offer.
While PODS was my original choice for this move, when that fell through at the very last minute, Uhaul was there! Only 2 days in advance, we were able to reserve a 15' truck. My husband said it was very easy to drive. We could have used a larger truck, but he didn't want to drive anything larger. When we had to go a little out of our way to pick up the truck, as there wasn't one available closer, they added on extra miles in our allowance to make up for it. Easy to check out and back in too. We also had a newer, very clean truck.
U-haul was a nightmare. They let you book a particular day, but not a time or a location. They never called to confirm our reservation and when I called them, I found out they were making us drive half an hour away to get our truck and that it wouldn't be available until several hours after we thought we would get it.
UHaul is the company I rented mu truck from. I used the Mesquite store. The last time I rented which was on 08-12-16. They had one worker three customers . Employee wanted on one man finished and started talking to another employee about dry wall needing to be taken care of and then they went outside to see about truck and left myself and the woman in front who had been waiting over 30min. Unfortunately the workers lack of customer service was obvious. I had rented a26 foot the day before and even though info was on contract we were lead to believe by paying extra fee there would be no Che for mileage which wasn't true .we weren't told if we needed more time that it would be cheaper to have kept the truck a day or two instead of re renting and loosing time and more money. This last rental experience was extremely costly in time and money and because of that I will look else where for rental trucks and equipment
Unfortunately, the guys ran into a timing issue due to the move scheduled before me. I had a deadline in which I had to return my Uhaul truck rental. The resolution was what impressed me. After I explained my issue to them, they went right into solution mode. One man came over within the hour to unload the truck and put everything into the garage. They returned later after they had completed the previous job to take the items from the garage into the home. Things go wrong in every business. What separated these folks from most other companies was their willingness and resourcefulness to figure out a solution and not just expect me to be okay with their problem. It was not a big job, but they didn't treat me with any less concern. Well done, Bell Boys Moving North!
