U-Haul® Reviews
Seriously under estimated truck size and our belongings. We decided we really need to downsize. Hope to never have to do a do it yourself move again. Past moves were company relocation paid for and had everything done for us. It's tough work! Would look into other truck rentals though if we have to do it ourselves again to compare with U-Haul as far as pricing.
I will never use UHaul again! I rented a 26 ft truck and a 5x8 trailer. The trailer connection was not done correctly from the beginning and had to stop at 2 different Uhaul locations to connect the electrical properly. The truck was a really beat up truck. I asked if that was the best one we could get since we were travelling 3,000 miles. They assured me it was fine. The connection from the antifreeze hose to the radiator burst off because there was no clamp on the hose and we lost all antifreeze and water while in the dessert! This happened 2 times until we had to go 70 miles out of our way to get a set of clamps to fix the problem ourselves and also had to get more antifreeze. We called Uhaul and they said it would take hours for them to get to us while stranded in the hot dessert! And from the start, the power steering didn't work while trying to make turns. We called UHaul and they said they couldn't get to us for hours to fix the power steering, and we waited and they only replaced a belt, but that still didn't fix the power steering problem! At one stop at a UHaul center in ElPaso, I told the manager that I wish we had a different truck and he said that we could get another one but NEVER informed us that UHaul would pay to have my belongings transferred into another truck, which I found out they would pay this! Then in Pheonix, AZ, we stopped at another UHaul center with problems with the air conditioning and informed them of this but nothing was done. The whole trip was wrought with major problems which could have cost us loss of life or a horrific accident! Again, I will NEVER use UHaul, and hope others take heed to the horrific problems I had with using UHaul!!!…...
Terrible. I have rented from uHaul for over 20 years. I have never received such patched up, crap equipment. The drive which normally taked 4 hours took over 9. I lost money on waiting movers because I couldnt get there as scheduled and sat in a NO AC hot box in July. Not an apology, apethetic at best. Uhaul has declined.
Rented two U-Haul trucks within a month to complete my move. The first time, my truck order was incorrect and all over the place. This more recent time went much smoother. Customer service on location was good. Phone ordering system could use improvement. Truck was decent. Price and location worked well! Would use them again.
We had a blowout in Gallup, NM on the trailer hauling the car and we waited about two hours while they dispatched someone from Grants, NM. The uHaul service people were very nice and did follow up to make sure we were back on the road. We moved to Manteca, CA and were told we had to return the truck to Salida, CA. When we took the truck back, we went 50 miles more than what we were supposed to (we stopped in Kingman, AZ to sleep at a motel) but weren't charged. I would use uhaul again, next time I would get some added mileage for stopping at motels, etc.
