U-Haul® Reviews
It's difficult to rate but began with having to book an auto transport and a truck separately which was very inconvenient. Doing a one way rental also seemed inconsistent among employees. I couldn't get any information about overnight parking although I called several locations and the general customer service number. I ended up having to pay extra for parking because of this instead of the standard uhaul fee. If I could rate Illinois locations separately, Morton uhaul 5/5, East Peoria uhaul 3/5, Avondale uhaul 1/5
Truck had almost 80K miles and a tire out of balance on the back...made it a bit of an annoying ride. Don't expect anywhere close to the 12 MPG they claim on the website, I averaged 8.5 - 9.5 MPG depending on the state I purchased the fuel, the truck is a gas hog, no real issues...just be prepared for a 200 dollar fill up every 375-385 miles.
We drove a 20' Uhaul half way across the country towing a car with a 60lb dog in the middle seat. I can't say it was the most fun experience, but it was much cheaper to the other alternatives. The truck got around 7.3 mpg and had difficulties with inclines along I80. I would recommend getting the 26' truck as it has a larger engine in it which might have helped make things easier.
Twice now, our reservation for the size truck we wanted was unavailable ON the day we had reserved. The second time, we were not made aware of the "no show" previous use, non- return until we went to pick up the intended truck for our use. We ended up being sent to two more locations to finally secure a truck.
They were ok. The 24/7 mobile service sucks - when your truck is fully boxed in by other trucks on arrival and the pads you paid for aren't there, you're going to be completely screwed if the store is closed. Fortunately I arrived a little before closing and the guys at the site were happy to take care of me.
We were happy with the interactions we had with the employees at the U-Haul in Latrobe, PA. The women who helped us (Sally and Emily) were friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. Sally recommended that we buy the (not very expensive insurance) from U-Haul and we are glad we did because we had a minor mishap that was covered. Thank you for a positive experience!
