My friends and I were arguing this and I wanted to know if anyone could answer it.What could happen if you rented a uhaul type of truck and dropped it off clean and full of gas by the appointed time on the agreement BUT instead of dropping it off at the local location they expected you to leave it at you dropped it off in another state?

Would they techinically be able to sue you or have any criminal charges against you for that or would they just be able to sue you or bill you for the extra mileage you used?

Keep in mind the truck would be unharmed, clean, full of gas and dropped off by the time specified on the paperwork the only thing different is the city, state isn’t the one you agreed to.

Be sure to include how you know your answer is correct or if it is just a speculation.

Thanks.
UHAUL could pursue civil damages based on your unauthorized usage. Basic contract law would support them in that you breached the contract of use and the only thing they have left to prove is the amount of damages that they seek. First they'll seek the difference in use fees from the contracted use and the actual use. Next is their loss because of the necessity to that asset (The truck) to the expected location as well as any lost revenue for the period that it took to the vehicle. Then they can tack on their expenses (attorney fees, court fees etc.) incurred to collect these damages.

Usually, in the interest of not creating headlines or adverse PR, the location that accepts the turn in would charge the difference is use fees and color it good, but the above scenario is a possible legal remedy to the damaged party.
