U-Haul® Reviews
U-Haul was ok... they actually moved my reservation from one location to another, which was fine cause it was only a few miles down the road. Then problend arose when specifically explained to the clerk on 2 separate occasions how long it would take for my job and still received a call first thing the next morning stating I needed to bring the truck back because they habe another reservation waiting to pick up the truck! I rushed through the entire morning to take the truck back, only to be told that they had the wrong truck! I would recommend U-Haul but I would be wary of what location you choose!
I had a good experience with Uhaul. The truck was a huge help in my long distance move and we had a trailer hitched to take a car. We were able to get in contact with customer care when we needed assistance. Our only hiccup was the trailer hitch was stuck and we had to make two trips to Uhaul to get it unhitched before we could unload and then return the actual truck. Would definitely use them again.
Used trailers 5 times. One time did not have the trailer we ordered and we had to use a smaller trailer after they sent my husband to the next county where they didn’t have one either and knew nothing about him coming. They did compensate us with giving us half off the next trailer we rented after I complained. For the last move we had gotten a 28 ft. truck and found we needed a 6x12 ft. trailer to go with it. When we got it home with it, it had a flat tire. We took it back to u-haul only to be told to take it back home and they would send someone to fix it. It held us up a couple of hours.
I had a 26 foot truck and tow dolly. The equipment was fine but when I attempted to turn them in I was informed that my local U-Haul dealer did not accept the tow dolly. I was forced to take them to another dealer at a greater distance requiring the purchase of more fuel in order to meet the quantity required. I also incurred additional charges for being "late." The manager of the new receiving dealer removed the late charges and I am very grateful.
I needed a tow dolly and advised I would be in to get it on my way out of town before they closed. They called every hour to h9ur and a half, all day, to confirm. I had to hook it up and secure our car by myself in pouring rain. I am a disabled Vet and cannot crawl under the car to hook chains. My wife begged for help and a young man did finally do so. When dropping off the truck and tow dolly wàs told that my destination office would not accept the tow dolly; had to drive to the next town where mgr was very helpful. It shouldn't be necessary to beg for help to safely use their product.
Uhaul dealer was very helpful and provided very good service for truck and trailer. The labor help provided was not acceptable and added two days to my move as well as cost to rent a 12ft trailer for the items not loaded on the 26ft box truck. I only supervised the first third of the truck loading which was acceptable as it was being pack correctly. The balance of time was spent directing to wrap furniture with blankets before they were moved and to do it correctly. Either this 3 man crew did not know what they were doing or were taking advantage of the situation. Upon arrival at my new location, I watch the truck being unloaded and saw that at least half of the truck was not fully loaded. 2ft of space near the top was open and could have easily accommodated the items on the 12ft truck. I wish I had arranged the moving help at the originating location thru Hire A Helper for qualified movers.
Booked a truck in the town I live in. They called me 30 minutes before my pickup time and told me I had to go to a place 30 - 45 minutes away and didn't even give me any mileage for free. So I ended up paying for the extra miles even though I booked the truck for a place 2minutes from my house. Not satisfied at all with their logistics.
Horrible! The auto transporter we rented was faulty. It collapsed and damaged my vehicle. U-haul would not bring me a replacement; I had to go get one myself. We got a dolly instead and it too was faulty. It was missing the pin to keep the vehicle from turning. It was just a horrible experience and I will NEVER use them again.
The U-Haul was good and I would use them again depending on the location of the drop offs. They had a very convenient location for us to drop off in the middle of nowhere which is why we used them instead of another provider. I wish the trucks had been equipped with better audio options. When you have a very long drive, only having an AM/FM radio got really old. Especially driving through back country where you can't get very many radio stations. The truck does hold a lot of gas so I didn't have to stop very often. But it ended up being more expensive than I had anticipated given the advertised price.
