U-Haul® Reviews
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.
our reserved truck was not there at 8 am. I dropped my husband off to pick it up promptly at 8 am so he could drive it home. He called me 20 min later to tell me to come back and take him to a different location because they didn't have a truck for us. This set us back nearly an hour. Not very happy about that.
Gave 4 stars because they never made it clear that we had to strictly stick to the times scheduled. We were running late by 1 hour, and were getting multiple calls from the office to see where the truck was, telling me they had a reservation. Seemed unrealistic to me to think that nobody every runs over and have a reservation setup back to back.
I never had problems with Uhaul but this struck me as odd: they charge for the blankets but they expect you after a long and stressful move to fold them back?? and I f you don't they charge you $25?? it costs them $25 to fold 10 blankets? also they should consider having a 24h help line in case you are travelling late and have questions. For such a big company the customer assistance is very poor. On the positive side, the tracks are big and have a ramp and the pick up and drop off is easy. I might use them again just because they are relatively cheap (if you don't count the extra charges) and the have stores almost everywhere.
We had trouble with the ramp. It was broken. A piece broke off and we could not use it. There was no one available to help us. Very frustrating. When I was trying to rent a trailer to haul my 8 foot wood rack, no one told me there was a trailer to do that until the last day. We had to go to a separate place to get the trailer. U haul would not bring our truck to Kilgore where I live, I had to drive further to get it and I was in a time crunch as I had movers coming. Overall, the truck and trailer worked well.
