    Uhaul gave me a damaged truck and tried to charge me 500$ for the damage. I had proof of the damage there before. I sent evidence and they still tried to charge us. Disgusting business practice. They are scam artists

    It shocks me that anyone rents from U-Haul. The internet is full of horror stories. Are people gluttons for punishment?
    I drove an Enterprise moving van both ways (they don't do one-way drops) and it was STILL cheaper than renting a UHaul. Plus, Enterprise treats its customers with respect. UHaul outlets treat customers like inconvenient pond scum.

    It's not just U-Haul. I had the same thing happen when I reserved a Budget truck in April. On the day of the move, June 3rd, I was supposed to pick up my truck at 11AM. At 10AM, the local Budget office called to say there were no trucks available within a 200 mile radius. They told me to call another company, and then hit me with a "no show" penalty on the card I had reserved with. It seems this is what the rental companies have resorted to. I always thought a reservation that was confirmed meant exactly that.

    I went to pay for a storage and truck rental that i reserved online. The rude and hostile manager told me, that just because i reserved it, doesn't mean its available. So no storage unit for me and the truck was at another facility. And i was charged another $10 on my card as soon as i reached the parking lot. Oh yeah, the 1 month free storage is a bulllshit lie as well.

    We're having a nightmare also. Got the 6 by 12 trailer in West Texas. Day 1: I got to Salt Lake City and one tire blew out in the middle of I-15. 2 hours later, repair guy comes and replaces it. On the road again and when filling up in idaho, checked pressure and it was half of recommend. Filled it up and stopped in Dillon Montana for the night. Day 2: decided to stop at the travel center in Butte Montana to make sure all tires were up to pressure. Filled up the driver side front, then went to the back one. Filled out up and then the front blew a hole and is completely flat. Still have further to go.

    I am currently going through a similar situation. I confirmed a 15' box truck and ended up having to drive over 600km (round trip) in order to get a 26' truck due to limited availability. Normally I have zero issues with U-Haul and every other time was perfect.
    A summer full of medical issues, life with 2 small kids, and tight deadlines forced me to go through with the costly move. Thankfully they are not charging me extra for the larger truck, or to pick it up a day earlier, however I will have to pay more in gas. This maybe my last time with U-Haul.

    Normally for one way they call you two days in advance to discuss options if your reserved trailer or truck is not at the location you wanted it to be.

    U-Haul depends highly on the franchisee and how they organize things.

The day before, they called and said they don’t have a truck available at that specific place but I could travel a couple hours to an alternate site to get the truck. I don’t have time to travel across the state to get the truck. WTF is the point of reserving a truck from this company? Do not waste your time with U-Haul. It’s just another corporate entity without any concern for actual people.

    Uhaul's reservations mean nothing. My story: I went to a local U-Haul location for a storage unit. The unit I wanted was the last one of its size they had available. The guy at the location told me I could go online and reserve the unit. I did just that and scheduled the move-in for later in the week. The day before I was supposed to move in they called me to say that they rented the unit and it wasn't available. They said it was available on a first-come first-serve basis, and apparently reserving it online per the salesperson's instructions didn't count. They knew I had reserved the unit and if they had called me I could have confirmed that I still wanted the unit and if necessary I could have gone over there to sign the contract immediately. Nobody cared. It seriously messed up my move.

    I'm a used car dealer. When I started 7 years ago, I had 400 bucks to my name and a few hand tools. Being flat broke, any car I got, I had to tow because it wasn't moving on its own power. Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the UHaul Auto Transports would be harder to find than a 5 legged unicorn, other dealers were snapping them up to move their inventory. I got to be pretty good friends with the guy I rented from the most, and he would reserve a trailer for me, and if I didn't need it, I'd promptly call him and he'd rent it out to the next guy. His wife developed cancer, he closed up shop to look after her. So the day of the auction, I'm looking to reserve a trailer. There was another UHaul shop, local, just down the street. I go to reserve the trailer, but the guy says I can't unless I'm certain I'm going to use it. He won't allow me to cancel if I come back from the auction empty handed. I ended up with 1 car from the auction, and I immediately called to rent the trailer... it's unavailable. So I'll take whatever is closest, and the closest trailer was 70 miles west of me. I went ahead and drove 70 miles to get that trailer. I get there early, that shop wasn't open yet. While I'm sitting there waiting for them to open, I'm looking on my phone to look up the business to see hours of operation, when I see the reviews. Complaint after complaint after complaint that they were charging people for damage to UHaul equipment that was pre-existing, or in some cases, non-existent. One of the comments suggested that one should take photographs of the equipment with GPS tags on, and then texting the pictures to one's self to document the condition. I had to wait until they opened because I didn't know which trailer would be assigned to me. Once I was assigned a trailer and the associate was hooking it up, I started photographing the trailer, which drew the ire of the associate who demanded that I stop. I wasn't snapping pics inside the business, or encroaching on the associate's personal space in anyway. We were out in the parking lot, and I stood at a distance where I could optimally photograph the trailer. I did get to snap the rest of my pictures when he left to get parts. He was hooking up the trailer and was ready to send me on my way and never noticed that one of the lights didn't work, and that one of the tires has no tread. When I pointed it out, he demanded to know how I knew that one of the lights didn't work. I pointed out the torn wiring that was dangling underneath. At least he didn't question me about the tire, but of course it would of been hard to argue when the steel belt was fully exposed. Didn't look like the tire was worn out. I'd say that the tread just fell off the tire. It looked like an orange after having the peel removed. It was still round and holding air, but I wasn't about to ride on that. At that time I had almost 100 UHaul rentals, but that would be my last rental. I bought my own trailer after that. I liked that I didn't have to worry about trailer theft (quite the problem in my area), not having to worry about having a secure place to park it, but after that experience, I figured that seeing to my own trailer would outweigh having to deal with this again. In the end, it worked out. The UHaul auto transport is only limited to a wheelbase of about 135 inches, so the biggest I could tow would be like a full size SUV or a regular cab pickup. Extended cab with a long bed was a no-go. My personal trailer doesn't limit me to such anymore.

    I’ve had one good and one bad U-Haul experience. They are shady, I swear they cheated on the mileage, claiming the odometer read “Y”, when it really said “X”, I showed them this and then they claimed that it the extra charges waived only applied when the odometer read “X” on certain “blackout dates”. That was my bad experience.
    My “good experience” was a polite/friendly agent, fair/honest billing, and a truck that actually didn’t smell like urine. Sadly that place went under new management and the second time became my previously mentioned “bad experience”. Perhaps it was just that particular location’s new management that was lousy?

      Also on Penske’s insurance: if something breaks like a side mirror, they will take a couple of weeks to fix and charge you for loss of use for many weeks even when u bought insurance from them. Their insurance covers only damage and not loss of use.

    also most people dont realise cuz no one actually reads fine print etc is theres a "confirmed reservation" and "garunteed reservation" you as a customer going online or calling the call center to place a res. only "confirms" that they received a reservation from you but you are not guaranteed the equipment. The "garunteed res." only happens after youve spoken with an employee at the location you wish to pick it up at and they confirm they indeed have what you need at the time you need it. Its all on the website. No one reads anything and feels entitled to everything they want but Uhaul is a bad company 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

      I don’t think you paid attention to the video, @nickmarshall245! The corporate office gave the same story. Where it’s an authorized dealer, mom and pop, whatever… doesn’t matter. U-Haul doesn’t guarantee you’re going to get what you reserved. A legit rental company isn’t going to have silly reservation differences… “confirmed,” “guaranteed”… a reservation is a reservation. Confirmed and guaranteed mean the same thing to the consumer. It means you have a reservation. When you start using words that mean the same thing as an excuse not to have equipment that was promised… it’s called shady business practices.

    I guess this review is for all the disgruntled U-Haul users out there. I have had mostly very satisfactory experiences with them. I have rented the $20 van several times without any problems, even was allowed to drop it off 2hrs. after the 24hr. period was up. I've rented the trailer several times to clean up my yard without a hitch (it had a hitch but that was to hook up the trailer to my van) lol.....and I have rented the motorcycle trailer with no issues. I have been using them for many years including renting bigger trucks for moves that we made. I think it mostly depends on the location manager and staff. I did have one location about 12 years ago where the manager was very rude and even threatening because the truck that I requested was not there, but that was an exception.

    I am a U-Haul dealer and want to clarify. (1) when you made the reservation it clearly states on the reservation the they CANNOT guarantee your PU location. Why? Because customers do not return equipment on time and at the correct location. (2) when you see a dealer with lets say 20 trucks and trailers, only 20% of equipment is ONE WAYS, 80% our IN TOWN rentals and must be returned to the original location. (3) It could very well be the case

YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BE OVERCHARGED REGARDLESS IF YOU SCHEDULE AT THEW OFFICIAL CENTER OR UHAUL UNOFFICIAL CENTER. NON-ACTUAL EMPLOYEES aka a "dealership". They work at that business and are only working for that specific business only. Their profits are what matter most to be honest!

      I did exactly what a customer is supposed to do… Reserve a trailer from a specific company for a specific date at a specific location. Just like renting from any other company. UHaul just can’t deliver and doesn’t understand what a “reservation” is, unlike all of its competitors who can deliver what they advertise. Perhaps you need to read up on what a reservation is and stop blaming the customer. Again… typical UHaul. They don’t take responsibility for anything. And the more of you that post ignorant comments like yours, the more people see how true it is that UHaul blames the customer for not being able to run their business properly. Please prove that some more for us. Tell us again how it’s the customer’s fault UHaul can’t deliver.

    I have my own Uhaul horror story, this incident happened in 1980 my family was moving from Houston Texas to St. Louis. We had 3 kids at the time so you can imagine how much we had in the largest truck they rented while driving through Oklahoma the truck broke a tie rod so we call Uhaul and all them (thinking ok no big deal I'm sure they have problems they said to 'find' a motel and call to let them bring another truck OH they also said they would handle the charges motel food etc. We did as we were told and next day we're waiting for them at check out time we hadn't heard anything so my husband calls them...and this is where we would swear we talked to exactly the same you did. Omg they say they are still looking for equipment rebook another night. Next morning we get a call from a manager of Uhaul NO equipment located on huh then he asks us who we have fixing the truck, oh btw he adds their not paying for anything its co. policy you break it you fix it. We got the royal runaround basically contract says all this, we looked of course we don't see it in the contract tell us where it says that. Absolutely the ultimate statement this idiot said " oh sorry you have a old contract they have a new one, but that's something we could pursue in civil court. I wish I could say they fixed the problem but nope. That day we started looking for a solution we finally went to Ryder. Three days later we finally make it to St. Louis where we were met by police for a stolen truck, thank God the police officers were so understanding, they listened to what happened we showed them our agreement, the officer called and spoke with that lovely manager, we hear them talking and he says "well sir they showed me their rental agreement and their correct" manager days but they have our truck that's theft. Officer says "well I guess YOU should make sure your offices only have your new paperwork, your truck is at the motel you stranded them at and all we can say is if you want to pursue this take it to civil court. Frankly sure I don't think you want your business practices on the news. I really hope they do sue you !"

    So there are two sides to every story. I can tell you first, just because you ask for a supervisor doesn’t mean the company has to transfer you to one. This is a common misconception. Two, when you setup the reservation they also told you at the time that they would have to call you to schedule and confirm where you will have to pickup from. This means that their locations all around the area are fully booked up but they are gonna do everything they can to get you with equipment on the day you needed it. Three, why would you call back over and over again if you know you are gonna get the same info. Just cancel and find another company. There are a few in that area and I looked. Please remember that there are two side to every story. Oh and they didn’t hang up on you. I can guarantee that you are one of those people who act like they are hot s&$? And talk down to people. That would have been the only reason they would have canceled you and then hung up. U-Haul will try all they can to help but if you are a rude or mean customer or talk down to a rep or sup they will cancel your reservation and hang up. You wasted so much time trying to make U-Haul do what they told you they just could not do, when you could have called budget or another place. Another thing, they would have told you at time of booking that 30 days out is very far from reservation day in the moving world and it’s hard to make sure that this equipment will be there because of all the other orders between then and now, which again I know they told you. I really hate how people don’t listen to all the information that is given to them and just push for reservation to be done quickly. You know you were told all this, plus it’s in the contract which I encourage everyone to always check everything you are signing or any info sent to you and read thru it. I’m sorry you went thru all this but you wasted so much time trying to change something that will not change and instead find another solution. If it can’t be done just because you puff out your chest and say you need to fix this that it will be fixed. Customer service people are doing everything they can to help you. Everyone please remember that before reacting to a customer service personnel like myself. Not saying I work for U-Haul but I definitely know their system and this story has a lot of holes in it from my point of view. Like I said….two sides to EVERY story. Have a good day everyone!

    • @JimORearsWackyWorld
      @JimORearsWackyWorld  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nothing you’ve written changes the fact that UHaul made a promise they couldn’t fulfill. Their only job is to rent equipment and if you can’t provide that equipment that was reserved well over a month in advance, then you’re in the wrong business. Also, you can’t guarantee they didn’t hang up. You were not on the call. This was a complete failure by a company who had one responsibility… provide a truck at a particular location that was reserved well in advance. Rental car companies do it all day long with absolutely no issue. This should not have been an issue either, since UHaul is in the same vehicle rental business.

      Ummm, no. This happened to me yesterday. Pretty much was told my truck wasn't available, but I could get a smaller truck for more than my reservation was for. I asked how I was going to get all my stuff moved, and he interrupted me to say that that's what I signed up for. There was nothing else they could do for me, and then asked....well, you want this truck or not?
      That's NOT a reservation because nothing was actually reserved. And it's sure not customer service.

    People have one bad experience and say “don’t blah blah blah with this company”. Listen, it was one bad experience you had that is atypical of UHaul. They couldn’t be a billion dollar company if they were consistently bad….
    You could always install the hitch yourself and go buy a trailer for $18,000 and do it yourself. Oh wait, you can’t? Uhaul was able to make moving affordable. Crazy.
    Uhaul isn’t my favorite company by any means, but I’ve never had an issue. I just understand that people don’t return stuff when and where they’re suppose to and not everything is allotted to being a One Way.

    I remember the first time I rented from U-Haul in the late 80's. I needed to rent a truck. They told me the amount and said it's $200 deposit and we refund the amount when you return the truck if no damage, unusually dirty, and gas is replaced. I said ok. I started to give the associate 200 cash and she said we don't take cash for deposits only cards???? I told her I don't use cards if I have the cash. She said, I'm sorry sir but that's our policy. They want your card number so if there's any damage, they can charge your card and you are stuck at least temporarily. All you have to do is call your card company and tell them you didn't authorize the charge and by law they won't get the money. Of course even if they don't get their money they still have a record of where you live and your name. Anyway I went to one of their competitors gave a cash deposit with no problem. U-Haul, it's not just a job it's an adventure. I also heard these days by the time they charge you all the fees which they have to show upfront on the rental agreement a 19.95 a day charge if going 50-250 miles will cost somewhere close to 300 dollars.
