U-Haul - They Engage In Crooked Practices

Truck Rental - Complaint

NEW YORK -- U-Haul asked if I needed a truck for 4 hours. If you say "Yes" you get charged the same as if you said "No", except you might then get charge "EXTRA" if you miss the 4 hour mark.

This is a shell game. Hey U-Haul - don't ask customers if they only need a rental for 4 hours without telling them they don't save anything and should just say no in order to avoid paying you extra money for no reason.

I don't do business with companies that pull this sort of crap.

Without knowing all the details (for example if there is a special rate for part of a day), I go by this rule with rental agencies: if there is an agreed to return time, I make sure to meet it so I am not charged for overtime.

We realize moving can be stressful enough without any added frustration from the moving company. I did review the Customer Action Form that was set up for you in our Customer Service Department. Information indicated your concerns had been turned over to our Regional Office for the U-Haul Company of Central Canada for resolution and delivery of your U-Box. Please be assured the information you provided will be addressed with all involved to prevent the situation you experienced from happening again. It is only through communication with our customers that we realize what programs are working and what areas need attention. If you need to contact me or have other concerns, I can be reached at maria_palmisano@uhaul.com. Again, I do apologize for the inconvenience you incurred with your move.
