Beware of not getting what you want here and through the Penske website. I reserved a common van online. The morning before I was to pick it up, I was called and told they are very popular vans and I couldn't have it. They would give a much larger truck, which would not work at all where I was going. And they also offered me a discounted mileage rate on that truck that was higher than on the van I reserved. I told them it wouldn't work for me and they started looking around SoCal, unable to find me anything that would work anywhere nearby. This is BS, as in Bait and Switch. If your website reservation system is a lie, then take it down. Reminds me of the "Seinfeld" episode with the rental car counter.
Seinfeld:
"But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation."
Rental car lady:
"I know why we have reservations."
Seinfeld:
"I don't think you do. You know how to take the reservation. You just don't know how to hold the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation. The holding. Anybody can just take 'em."
Penske's inability to hold a reservation cost me three hours in lost time as I was on my way to a memorial service. I'm only giving one star since the lady on the phone was nice and did try, but Penske's reservation system wasn't reliable for me and I won't trust them again. read more
