U-Haul® Reviews
The 12' trailer I reserved had bad wiring so they gave me a 10' truck instead...so we had to drive 2 vehicles instead of one from Chicago to Ann Arbor. But they discounted the truck to make up for it and I got to the apartment in time for the movers and everything went well after that. The staff at Lincoln Park U-Haul were 100% helpful and I only gave 4 stars because of the trailer issue, which was not the Lincoln Park locations fault.
Made a U-Haul Reservation 3 weeks prior to move and received a phone call from them night before moving day telling us our truck wouldn't be available and we would have to drive to different location (further away) to pick up a truck. They did upgrade truck for no charge due to inconvenience, but that really didn't help or make up for it. What is the point of a reservation if they can't keep it? This isn't the first time it's happened with U-Haul either. Rates were good though and truck was clean.
I reserved a 26 ft truck on May 18th for my upcoming move on May 29th from KS to CO. I never got a phone call to let me know where my pick up location would be. I called them 2 days before my move date and I was advised that my pick up location was in Arizona. I told the representative that I was moving from Kansas to Colorado and that would not work. She gave me the number to a supervisor. They could not get me a 26ft truck I could only get a 20 ft truck. With it being memorial weekend I had no choice but to take it. All of my stuff did not fit. It has been a nightmare. No trailers around in my area either. I will NEVER use Uhaul again.
Not a bad deal at all. I got a 26ft truck to move all my things. Things can add up quickly if you don't know what you need or what is included. Not included are dollies, tie downs, blankets, boxes, packing tape, and such things, so bring your own. Remember to add insurance (highly recommend), mileage, and gasoline to the cost of the rental truck.
