U-Haul® Reviews
I have used the same Uhaul Rental site for several years and continue to recommend them. They are courteous and efficient providing well-maintained trucks and trailers at a competitive price. The single issue I would highlight arose as a result of the company trying to move (apparently) all business transactions to the cloud with all customers using the Uhaul app to transact and complete the rental agreement including completing and signing the contract, and payment. This is a good business decision but the app was not as intuitive as I would have liked and on multiple occasions during the check-out process the sales rep had to leave her desk to show me where on the app the specific button or toggle switch was located. Upon my arrival to check out the vehicle the customer ahead of me seemed to be having similar issues. While I will accept a level of responsibility (i.e., familiarize myself with the app) I would suggest the company continue to improve their app to make it more user friendly and intuitive. The overall rental process was solid and I would recommend Uhaul for future needs.
U-Haul is good and I'd recommended them over any others, mainly because there was an issue with picking up the 17 foot rental truck at one location, they offered me a bigger truck (20 feet) for the same price and extended the time, I originally reserved the truck for 12 hours, but for the inconvenience they said return the truck in 24 hours, next time I need to rent any moving truck I will use U-Haul
I made arrangements with U-Haul at 902 W. Walnut to receive a 10 x 16 x 6.5 drive up storage unit for Monday July 5, however upon arrival I found that reservation # 741050-00104216 for Darmita White was cancelled and we had to cram all of our furniture into 2 10 x 10 units on the 2nd floor where the elevator was out of order. We were terribly inconvenienced and the movers charged us an extra fee for having to transport the furniture up stairs. I have never been so disappointed with a reputable company before in my life.
Luckily was able to find a 15-ft U-Haul truck on very short notice near our starting location (near Ann Arbor, MI), and picked it up shortly after the reservation. The U-Haul folks were helpful with choosing the accessories we needed (dollies, # of blankets etc.), and got us on the way. The return to U-Haul in Philadelphia was trivia...basically just drove in, and the attendant said "you're good" and we were done... :-). Great company...
Great move. Only problem was opening the combination lock that we bought from Uhaul to secure the truck. Had to stop in Nashville to ask for help. Great guy showed us how to bypass the security latch and only lock the handle so that lock would not jam. Why didn't the renting store show us that? I told the drop off Uhaul store and they didn't know that trick either. Pass it on.
