U-Haul® Reviews
Uhaul was a great company for getting a rental truck. We did not think we would be able to afford using Uhaul, but they were actually the cheapest available option with the perfect truck to fit out size. The Uhaul workers were courteous and helped make sure we were ready for our trip. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
They were very good but since they didn't have the truck size we asked for at a location, they had us pick up at a nearby location - and they uncharged us to do this! Good thing I noticed as they shouldn't have. So beware! Other than that, clean truck, ran well, and we returned with no issues. We didn't use moving pads so they gave us a refund.
How do I start with the bad or the good. Let me do bullets that way I can keep this review short. Bad - A) in the last two days before I was to pick up the truck, the location changed 2 times. B) The truck shutoff on the highway while I was actually driving 60mph. Luckily I was not in a tunnel or bridge and was able to coast it over to the emergency lane(Mind you this was a 26ft truck) C) eventhough the customer service was nice, the hold time each time I called was over 30mins - too long. Good - A) they did extend my days with the truck at no addl. cost. B) when I did reach customer service they were nice and they did call back to check on my status. C) More importantly (I wish I could remember the Mech. name) The mech was Awesome, he literally followed me for a good 45 mins to make sure I was good before giving me the ok sign. Note he has driven 2 hours to get to me, and I was going in the opposite direction of him. Great Guy. He is the main reason they get a 4 star. (Move was from NJ to MD)
Was a little disappointed with the U-Haul, we adjusted the time to pick up the truck to match the time of the arrival of the Seize the Day helpers, and I made the effort to reserve a furniture dolly- only to find that they are available on a first-come bases. Why have the opportunity to reserve, when the truly is not the option.
I had a previous negative experience with UHaul and only used them again this time because of cost. I know they can't guarantee pickup location at our preferred location, but they gave us a truck one hour from our house. We had to call and get it changed to a closer location (that was still pretty far away). Then the truck had a very worn tread on one of the tires (that probably shouldn't have left the facility) that we discovered later.
Reliable Moving were wonderful! They arrived on time and were prepared to work! They worked really hard! They helped me load my U-Haul then followed me to my new place and unloaded the truck for me, as well as help me set up the bedrooms and furniture. The men were very respectful and very easy going. I would definitely use them again and refer them to friends and family. Thanks for you help! :)
I wanted a truck at the UHaul place in Phoenixville, went to reserve it a month ahead of time and was told, there was no guarantee I would get that location.. I did not get the truck where I wanted to and was instead sent almost 10 miles away..racking up the mileage bill. It makes little sense that you can't rent a truck at the closest location and UHaul can just randomly assign you to a location. Hated that. On the positive, the Malvern location was well managed and made the experience there positive.
John's Auto and Uhaul of East Northport, NY, on Laurel is an EXCELLENT Uhaul Dealership/Franchise. Clean, well maintained trucks. Moving supplies available, at your command. Flexibility of truck drop off, after your move. Proprietor happens to be a really nice guy, who is genuinely concerned about you, your move, and what he can do to make both better for you. Use this vendor. You'll be happy you did.
