U-Haul® Reviews
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.
Truck was ready & waiting for me. I had a chpoice between a 15 ^ 17 ft. truck. I took the bigger "just in case". It got horrible mileage and had some issues on some of the bigger hills, but is got me the 340+ miles I needed it to at 75 mph. $254 for 3 days 400+ miles free. It was nearby, and I got 1 month free storage at U haul with the rental so a good deal over-all.
Horrible reservation system. I ordered a 21' truck from a place 3 blocks from my apartment and they called a week and advance and said the could not guarantee that truck and would give me a 15' truck and a trailer. I said ok. Then the day before the move I had someone call to confirm the truck at their location and it wasn't even near my house and then another place called to confirm the trailer that was even further. With hiring movers based the time of picking up the truck I knew those locations were not going to work. I call the reservation number and talked to a lady for almost 2 hours!!!!(i was put on hold numerous times for long periods of time) and she said she could not help me and if I wanted to cancel the reservations. Meanwhile, after getting frustrated, I had a friend next to me call a UHaul place somewhat near my place to see if they had a truck and trailer for one way travel....guess what? They sure did. The only reason why I gave the review 2 stars and not zero is because the gm at the uhaul place i called was amazing. He gave me the truck first to fill it up and then told me if I needed the trailer to come back and if not then he wouldn't charge me for it. He also gave me his cell phone number to text him for anything else. I would recommend everyone to call the uhaul place you want to book through rather than the reservation number. I wasted so much time.
I called early to book a 24' truck. Everything was confirmed. The day before my move I got a message from Uhaul saying the truck would be at another location inconvenient to me and later than I wanted. I called the place where the truck was to be brought to and the man there said: "I don't have any trucks, I don't have any trucks. He could not verify that I would have the truck the following day. I had to have the truck because I had movers coming! I had to find another truck. Chris at Patriot Movers was able to do that.
