Homework and preparedness pay off U Haul


Summary: U-Haul was the only cost-effective way to move a tractor and several hobby farming implements across the country from a Gulf Island to Eastern Ontario. We chose U-Haul after eliminating all other alternatives. Trucking the tractor and attachments was too expensive, and logistically impossible. We ...

The Valu Jet of Moving Vans U Haul


We have used U-Haul trucks on four separate occasions: three times across town, and once on an interstate move. We also go there periodically when we need packing supplies for anything -- U-Haul boxes are simply the best we've found. It seems ludicrous to spend money for boxes ...

“But the tank was empty when I drove away!” U Haul


The first time I rented a U-Haul truck, I was very trusting. Without knowing all the rules, I rented a small truck, got in, and drove away. I was about two miles down the road when I noticed that the gas gauge read "Empty." Since it was a gas station ...

One Deathtrap Can Ruin a Long Term Trust U Haul


The following review largely involves the events that took place November 15 of last year. Like another review mentioned, it's taken me a while to calm down and rationally think this review process through. (That, and I've been a little lazy. Worked hard over holidays and haven't ...

U Haul: When You’re Too Cheap (Like Me) To Hire A Professional Moving Company U Haul


I have some old Viking blood in my veins which became Scottish at one fork in my family tree and I have been pretty skimpy with spending money ever since. This especially applies to moving from one location to another. I have moved every 4-5 years or so over the last ...

Slow and Steady Wins the Race!! U Haul


We have moved more times than I can count. Each time, we rent a U-haul truck to get us where we are going. My husband is an expert mover, and can do it in record time. That is if the U-haul would cooperate. U-haul companies put ...

Trouble Free Move U Haul


I chose U-Haul because most "u-pack" services didn't go to the area I was moving, full-service movers had trouble accommodating my short time-frame, and neither of the other major rental companies (penske and budget) had a drop off location within 100 miles of my destination. I picked up a 14-foot truck ...

MOVING? I SUGGEST U HAUL YOUR FANNIE ELSEWHERE U Haul


I really don’t like to write an unfavorable review – and, alas, if this were a perfect world there would be no need to do so. However, after using U-haul recently I feel it would be remiss if I didn’t warn people away from this outfit. My daughter and I ...

Never as simple as it seems U Haul


I've participated in many U-Haul based moves -- both of my own things and when helping out friends. A few of these moves have been hassle free, but most of them have not. The UHaul problems I have encountered over the years include: 1. Being given a 27ft truck ...

When U really need to HAUL A$$ U Haul


Picture this... An emergency call from the teenage sons who are stranded in the middle of the New Jersey Turnpike where their car suddenly "stopped going". I call AAA to find that they will only tow for 3 miles and then charge $2.50 a mile, but wait, this bargain is ...
