Absolute nightmare experience.
On May 31st, despite having a pre-booked U-Haul truck, I arrived right on time and completed the mobile check-in steps. The app gave me a vehicle code to collect the keys inside. However, when I went in, the staff told me they didn't have a truck for me and that the vehicle was reserved for someone else. When I explained that I also had a confirmed online reservation, they literally started yelling at me.
I called U-Haul customer service, and after waiting 15 minutes, an agent finally answered and sent me to another location. After a 40-minute drive to the second spot, the agent there told me that while the truck was on-site, they didn't have the keys and told me to "come back tomorrow." People plan their moves a month in advance--you can't just "come back tomorrow" on moving day!
To make matters worse, I received no compensation at all. According to U-Haul's own policy, if they fail to provide the reserved equipment, they owe you a $50 Reservation Guarantee. I never received a dime.
I eventually managed to move, but with extreme difficulty and stress. This was my 8th and absolute last time using U-Haul. Save yourself the headache and avoid this company so your important day isn't ruined. read more
