PSA: CRIME SCENE FOR RENT TW: MURDER I can't believe I am writing this review but this location tried to rent my roommate and I a literal MURDER truck. I received a phone call from my roommate & was left speechless. She informed me that the 20 ft uhaul they gave us had not only crime scene tape on it but dried, smeared blood on the inside of the truck. Her boyfriend opened the back door & came across the left behind crime. She checked the windshield & low and behold there is a tow number followed up by "homicide" written in chalk. She went to speak to a manager, double checking this wasn't some halloween prank/decor. Turns out they had a note in the system saying Sargent Sandy released the truck from the case. They didn't even get it cleaned before renting it out to customers! After doing some research, we come to find out the body was found TWO MONTHS PRIOR. Not only is this a biohazard, who the hell wants their mattress touching a uhaul that had a decaying body in it?! Because this was the last 20 ft truck on their lot, they came to the solution to give us a 26 ft truck for the price of a 20 ft truck with an additional $50 discount. We were told to return the truck by 4 pm, and received a phone call shortly after 4 since we were running a little behind. The audacity to rush us back after trying to give us an actual crime scene of a truck is beyond me. The fact that they even charged us for a uhaul is absolutely absurd. Thanks for the trauma uhaul!

I was moving over the weekend and was looking for cheap plastic containers. A quick search and U-Haul option popped up. The nearest location with availability was in San Francisco - near Candlestick Park. I booked 10 containers for the next day. It didn't specify the pick up time on the website, so that meant I could pick up before the location closes at 7pm. Next day, I drove for 1.5 hours after work and reached at 6:30 pm. Positive: The location is easy to find, just off 101. There is ample of parking spots. Apart from U-Haul trucks, moving supplies, there's also a storage facility. Negative: very slow service. I was second in the line. There is no acknowledgement from anyone. They were clearly understaffed - one person tk run the entire location. Anyway after waiting for nearly 25 mins, I was called. The person was friendly. She checked the system and mentioned that our order was cancelled 4 mins back (which was confusing as the system never indicated pick up time). Had to reorder the containers. The containers were very dirty. Also during the move, I realized that the handle is very harsh, so you need to wear gloves to protect your palms getting all red.

I was warmly greeted by Cherlyn this morning even though I was in a panic looking for my package…read morebefore my flight took off . Trying to get my package on time literally kept me up the entire night . Cherlyn was super helpful and very kind and help me locate my package by going through the shipment that was delivered early that morning and processed it right then and there for me to be able to pick it up. I am forever grateful!!!!

It's funny because i thought i did a review last year? but i guess it disappears if you don't…read morefinish it? So here is my review i visit this place three times before,and each time they were amazing even on the phone when i asked many questions: they didn't cut me off. I don't know the young girls name? but it was the same girl i spoke to on the phone because i gave her my name and she was extremely nice to me in the store. So yesterday i went here the fourth time,but since the parking sucks here i stayed in the car my cousin took the big box in for me, one it was too heavy for me to carry inside. He was out within 5 minutes even though there was four people ahead of him that's how fast they are customer service is amazing very helpful. So if you live in the neighborhood or even if you don't come to this UPS Store because sometimes Amazon won't take returns or even whole foods. So just to save some time you are better off coming here. That way to have the rest of your day to enjoy,lol. Thanks for the easy RETURN and great service to the young girls I've dealt with in the past 12 months. I would definitely be back if Amazon and whole foods gives me the WRONG INFORMATION and wasting my TIME!lol The store is very clean and they have so many different types of boxes you might need and anything else you might not have at ur house or forgot to buy at Target or even the dollar store, lol. Just get it here at one place! Thanks for reading my review. ~Lizzie~ :)

i've now completed 6 (!!) successful amazing moves with this team since 2012. (i'm officially old i…read moreguess and how did that actually happen!). every time i walk away after a move wondering how i could have ever done it without the OMB team. they are half movers, half therapist! moving is incredibly stressful and having the right people makes what can easily bad day instead be happy and rewarding day. every time i've felt it was really worth every penny with this team. these guys are professionals, kind, friendly. if you're in sf and need to move... well you know what todo!

My wife already left a review but they deserve as many accolades as possible…read more We hired OBM because they quoted us the lowest price, but they were also the best and I highly doubt other movers would've gone above & beyond the way they did. We had a challenging move from downtown S.F. to Berkeley, to a house that is in the middle of multiple construction projects. Yet they made everything feel easy. I had gotten food poisoning the day before and we were stressing because we hadn't yet finished packing. But it was no problem--they loaded the truck with the items that were ready to go while we packed the rest. Make sure to ask for Joseph and his team (Fernando and Victor). They arrived a little early so they'd be ready and were the utmost professional while also being a warm and friendly team of guys. We would have them over dinner any time. Because of Joseph I'm now convinced that moving is both an art and an athletic feat. We had a recliner (100lbs) and a treadmill (200lbs) that were too wide to go through a doorway--and yet he maneuvered them effortlessly through without a scratch on either.

Booking: I sent an inquiry directly with the company due to their stellar reviews, and they were able to schedule me in for my preferred time/day. The overall process was really convenient, especially because of their flexible time window. Moving: the two movers, Herman and Aleksei, were incredibly efficient and very sweet/patient throughout the move. I appreciate that they handled both my expensive & economical items delicately. Also, I wasn't completely prepared on my end with the move such as knowing details like where to park for loading/unloading or even which items to move vs discard, which I had been dreading for weeks. However, thanks to their expertise and versatility, the move was stress-free. And a huge shoutout to Herman for his guidance and coordination that really ensured a seamless experience. Overall, this company lives up to its 5-star rating, and I highly recommend Herman & Aleksei if they are available!

Paid a little over 2.5k to move a 630 sq ft 1b/1b 3 miles and had 3, and eventually 4 movers. Overall I'd say it was good, not great When I scheduled I explained I had two walkins with lots of clothes - they assigned me three people when I likely needed more as I had a walkup. We ended up totally missing the window for the move which is more my fault but I had asked the people who confirmed if they felt it was reasonable. They helped move the hanging items (which I expect) and had me pitch in to pack the glass despite having asked for them to send someone to do this. It's not an issue but I do think there was a general lack of communication bw the movers and the ppl who helped book that made the day less efficient than it could have been. I'm happy to pack those things as it gave me an outlet for my moving anxiety and saves me time ofc but even without packing glass it still took 9 hours When I realized we were pretty behind it was very easy to get someone else last minute at noon, so that was helpful and everyone coordinated quickly to make it happen. All the guys were also very respectful and carefully wrapped my furniture (table, 4 chairs, coffee and side table, large tv, bed and heavy lifting frame, chair desk and small wine fridge). I think I have a lot crammed in to a 1B and was overall a good experience, though not quite as smooth or efficient as my previous SF moves Pros: Crew is friendly Didn't break anything, including my fancy stemware Cleaned up after themselves removing wrap and paper Very efficient by helping me add an extra mover at a reasonable cost ($50hr) Cons: Timing ended up being totally off :( not their fault completely but I tried to communicate several times during booking I had a small elevator window and a lot of stuff Pretty pricey for a 1 bed 3 mile move

I booked Kerb for my cross-country move from CA to MA based on the favorable quote I received…read more This initial quote, however, turned out to be a bait as they ended up charging me extra $2,000. I was told that the movers would arrive between 9am and 11am. Instead, I was given several updates from the foreman, who repeatedly gave me revised arrival times that were simply not true. At one point, he blamed traffic on a specific highway -- yet a quick check of live traffic data showed that route was completely clear. The crew finally showed up at nearly 3pm -- four hours late -- completely blowing through the reservation window I had secured with my building for elevator and loading dock access. I attempted multiple times to reach customer support at the number advertised on their website. Not once did I get through. Their customer service line put me on hold and played music for a few minutes and disconnected. To add insult to injury, after the packing was done, I was handed an additional charge of over $2,000 on top of the original quote -- this, after hours of delay and disorganization entirely on their end. The job should have wrapped by 3pm. We didn't finish until well after 6pm, creating further complications for my move-out schedule. If that weren't enough, the vehicle transport I paid for was delayed by at least four days due to truck repairs -- information I only received after paying. I'm flying out of state before my car can even be picked up. When I received my household items, there were several damaged items. I expect to find more as I unpack my boxes.

In October 2023, we hired Kerb to move most of our furniture and other items from the D.C. Region…read moreto Northern California. On the basis of that experience, we are giving Kerb a 1-star rating. On the day of the move, Kerb's D.C. Area crew damaged one pathway light and one copper post cap on our property. While in transit, more than 20 pieces of furniture were damaged, including an expensive, hand-constructed dining table. The cost to repair and refinish the dining table and one leaf will be $1,100. Three lamps and four lampshades, all of which Kerb's D.C. Area crew had packed, were damaged beyond repair. When we promptly submitted a detailed summary of the damage, the response from Kerb's Customer Care Department was not just inadequate, but unapologetically silent on its movers' lack of care in handling our belongings during transit. Additionally, none of the insurance options that Kerb had offered would have made us whole upon taking into account the cost of the insurance and the corresponding deductibles. Because Kerb failed to deliver our furniture intact, and because Kerb's D.C. Area crew did not instill any confidence whatsoever, we do not recommend this mover to anyone else who is planning a cross-country move. Nor do we intend to hire Kerb again to transport our remaining belongings to Northern California.

First off, a huge thank you to Vincent at this location. Vince saved my ass when Uhaul F'ed me…read more Vincent was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. From today forward he shall by known as Saint Vince. Sure you have choices when renting a truck. While in town moves don't require you think about the equipment, cross country you do need to. Is the truck gas or diesel? Better mileage with diesel, means a cheaper cost. Does the truck have a drivers air seat? This makes a difference when driving 16 hours a day. What is the total cubic size of the truck. What tightly fits in a U-Haul 26 foot, can easly fit in a 22 foot Penske. Finally, take a look at what rental trucks are sitting on the side of the road waiting for service. What you'll notice is they are all Uhauls. Enjoy your move. Take it slow and steady. Thank you Vincent and Penske.

By Thomas J. Anderson…read more Abstract: This review documents a cross-country rental experience with Penske Truck Leasing, specifically a 26-foot box van rented from the Home Depot location on Liberia Avenue in Manassas, VA, and driven to Poulsbo, WA. The journey, spanning over 3,000 miles, revealed systemic failures in vehicle maintenance, customer service coordination, and operational safety. The findings suggest a troubling disregard for basic mechanical integrity and customer welfare, raising serious questions about Penske's fleet management practices. 1. Initial Condition and Departure Upon arrival at the rental site, the vehicle presented immediate visual red flags: dents on all four corners, two substantial cracks in the windshield, and an overall appearance of neglect. When questioned about roadworthiness, the rental agent assured that the truck had been "checked out" and was "good to go." This statement, as later events would prove, was dangerously inaccurate. The DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tank was only half full, and the fuel gauge hovered between three-quarters and full--minor but telling signs of a lack of pre-rental inspection rigor. These oversights foreshadowed deeper mechanical issues that would emerge en route. 2. Mechanical Deficiencies and Safety Hazards From the outset, the truck exhibited erratic behavior: Lane Departure Warning System: Activated continuously despite proper lane alignment, indicating sensor miscalibration or system failure. Cruise Control: Non-functional, adding fatigue and distraction to a long-haul journey. Steering: Initially tight in spots, later developing severe resistance at top dead center and every quarter turn--symptoms consistent with a failing steering box. The vehicle's powertrain was equally inadequate. Acceleration to 60 MPH took nearly a minute, and the truck could only reach its governed top speed of 70 MPH on downhill grades. This underperformance posed a hazard on highways, especially during merging and overtaking maneuvers. 3. Catastrophic Steering Failure and Emergency Response In Tennessee, the steering system deteriorated to a dangerous level. After 100 miles of battling the wheel, a call to Penske resulted in dispatching a technician who confirmed the failure. A replacement truck--already with 200,000 miles--was delivered via semi tow truck. While Penske promised a 3-3.5 hour wait for the replacement and moving crew, the tow driver arrived early (2.5 hours), but the helpers were delayed by over 4 hours and ultimately unnecessary. The tow driver, acting beyond his duties, assisted with cross-loading--a commendable act of professionalism in stark contrast to Penske's systemic failures. During the tow preparation, a chilling discovery was made: two of the four universal joint cap bolts on the drive shaft were cross-threaded and not fully seated. This defect could have led to catastrophic drive shaft ejection at speed, endangering lives. The original assurance of roadworthiness was not just incorrect--it was potentially criminally negligent. 4. Replacement Vehicle: Marginally Better, Still Flawed The second truck, while not actively dangerous, was far from ideal: Suspension Seat: Unlubricated, producing loud creaks and pops throughout the remainder of the journey. Passenger Window: Would not stay closed. Side Mirrors: Repositioned themselves at speeds over 45 MPH, rendering them useless and requiring constant manual adjustment. These issues, though less severe, reflect a continued pattern of poor maintenance and disregard for driver comfort and safety. 5. Delivery and Administrative Breakdown Upon arrival in Poulsbo, WA, the receiving agent had no record of the rental. The truck was ultimately accepted with a signature on a blank sheet of paper--an astonishing lapse in recordkeeping and accountability. 6. Conclusion This rental experience was not merely inconvenient--it was hazardous. Penske's failure to maintain basic mechanical standards, coupled with poor logistical coordination and administrative oversight, placed the driver and others at serious risk. The discovery of improperly installed drive shaft components alone warrants investigation. Penske's reputation as a reliable provider of commercial vehicles is undermined by this experience. Barring injury or fatality, this case represents a near-worst-case scenario in rental logistics. I will not be using Penske again, and I strongly advise others to scrutinize their rental vehicles thoroughly--or seek alternative providers. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Respectfully, Tom Anderson
