U-Haul® Reviews
Our U-Haul truck was the perfect size and the furniture pads that we rented along with it were 100% worth it. The truck was in good condition (very clean and easy to drive!). Best of all, their customer service was amazing! The lady that got us set up with the truck was more than helpful, she really went above and beyond to save us money and make our move as easy as possible. She even stayed a bit late so that we could run the truck to the gas station and back!
Had truck but no car hauler, even though I reserved it. Girl at counter did not have a clue and insisted I needed 'the ball' on my car. Explaining that HER truck would be pulling MY car only confused her. I had to drive 20 miles to drop off truck because the location THREE miles from me couldn't accept anymore trucks. I did their logistics for them. Will not use them again.
The truck was in fair condition. The transmission was a little frightening as each time it kicked into gear it would jar you back into your seat. There were several times I did not know if it was going to start or make it up the hill. We traveled from the South Hills area of Pittsburgh to Greensburg and had to go very slowly due to the truck going down the road at an angle...frame was most definitely bent.
I made the reservation over 2 weeks in advance. At 3:15PM the day before the move I get an email changing the pick up location and time. Original pickup location was literally across the street, new location was 3 miles away so I had to get someone to take me to pick up the truck. Pick up time was supposed to be 8:00AM, email said Noon so I called and they said they open at 10:00AM. I picked up the truck around 11:00am. However, this put us 3 hours behind with a 5-6 hour drive ahead of us.
"Reserved" a 20 foot truck to pick up in Cortland NY on a Saturday morning. Received phone call late Friday (445pm) to "confirm" my appointment with the representative saying no trucks were available locally, only in Vestal NY. Was transferred to another rep who said the one in Vestal was already gone and the only ones available were in Geneva or Penn Yan. After getting very upset about needing to travel on early Saturday for 1.5 hours out of my way because this company clearly doesn't understand what a "reservation" means, took the Geneva truck. Will be following up with the company, believe they should be owing me for the extra time and distance I traveled to get this vehicle due to their shoddy business practices. Will not be using ever again. Only saving grace was the guy in Geneva who was very good and couldn't understand how this had happened. Truck was in fine condition and worked for what it needed to do.
Getting the U-Haul was fine. Returning it was a huge pain in Philadelphia. The 13th St. location had nowhere to park a truck. Another location had closed, apparently. I eventually dropped it off in a not-so-great part of town far from where I was going. The truck itself was fine, as always, but U-Haul returns have always been dicey.
