Very bad experience - truck developed a serious transmission problem on the was to the storage company. It was switching gears funny as I left the rental center, but I though it was just the way a diesel truck accelerated. Had to call emergency road side service while in Deerfield Beach( drove over from Naples FL). Sent a diesel mechanic who said the transmission fluid was empty and truck not changing gears properly. Waited SIX HOURS on a very hot day for a replacement truck, after a supervisor decided not to tow the broken truck with my possession on board.. All roadside assistance representatives were nice and helpful, including sending 2 men to remove my property from the broken truck to the new truck; however the time it took to arrange was absolutely unsatisfactory. I was provided with an extension of the return time to avoid a second day rental charge, removing charge for furniture pads and a 25 mile credit non their .59 cents mileage fee (after they logged the mileage for the replacement truck from its point of origin which added 40 miles to the overall mileage). I was told I could call Customer Service to discuss additional consideration after closing out my rental and paying. I plan to do so.

It was, fine. I wanted a 10 Ft truck and got a 16 ft. I should have been told they didn't have a smaller truck. It was challengeing for the distance I had to go with that size truck. Next time I want a van.

Unmotivated, lackluster, inexperienced, intentionally slow ("this is a by-the-hour-gig man") and completely thoughtless about the quality of the work. Left empty drink bottles (that we supplied) lying around and in the moving truck. This was the "unload" side of a move - opposite experience with the "loading" movers, which was a very positive experience.

Box truck was not as intimidating as I expected. My husband and I shared the driving. The only thing missing is cruise control which I think would have saved us on gas consumption. I understand from the rental agent where we returned the truck today that this is something that will be included on future trucks. It is a move in environmental awareness that would be much appreciated.

I used u-haul for my last move and their truck and service was very good except that I had to drive an hour to pick up the truck. So I thought that I'd try Budget since they are in Bluefield. Their truck was ok, but I had to wait an hour just to drop off the truck. The manager at the drop off location was unfriendly and at one point raising her voice at both my wife and me. She was so unprofessional that even the trainee who was with the manager told us that she would not work for this company any longer because of this lady. The worse part is that when we called the customer service to complaint about this manager, we were told that they could not contact us for any follow up. I will not use this company again and will not recommend this company to anyone.

I called a week in advance to ensure they were going to have the large moving truck that I reserved. When I arrived they did not have it. Their only alternative was to give me a smaller truck, at a slightly lower rate. It took me 45 minutes to get out of the rental office.
