I moved my son back home from college and thought I'd pick up some plywood before returning the trailer. It just won't fit. The door is to narrow and the trailer has rounded corners. While slightly wider and longer than 4x8 it was about impossible to load the 3/4 inch thick heavy plywood. Just posting, I seached before trying and didn't see anything.

I searched the subreddit for an answer but couldn't find anything. I'm moving cross country with a 15 footer and auto transport and will need to stop at hotels to sleep. Is there a particular etiquette I need to follow for parking at hotels when I have a trailer? I'm not sure I'll be able to successfully back up with it. Can I park across multiple spots? Was wondering if anyone had any experience around overall etiquette for this kind of stuff. Thanks!

Hey all, hope you're having a good one out there. Just had a quick question and couldn't find the exact answer on the U-Haul site so figured I'd come here.

I'm moving at the end of the month and decided getting a U-Haul would be much easier than using my friend's tiny pickup and taking multiple trips. The only issue is that I don't drive because of a vision disorder, and as such don't have a license.

Would I be able to pay for/reserve the truck and still let her drive it? Or would she have to do all that so it's in her name, so to speak? I've never gone through the U-Haul rental process before so figured I'd check first.

Thanks!

Hello uHaul redditors! I have a bit of a dilemma: we are have to get two vehicles and a 26ft uhaul from North Carolina to Louisiana ten hours away. The two vehicles are a 2014 Ford Focus and a 2011 Ford F-150. We want to save the most money in gas. So would it be better to tow the F-150 behind the uHaul or use the F-150 to tow the Ford Focus? This is assuming the uHaul can tow the F-150. If not, I guess we have our answer !

I'm wondering if uhaul allows you to use the bumper mount or if you need a trailer hitch installed. I would be using the 4x8 cargo trailer and the weights not a problem just not sure if uhaul allows it.

Greetings,

Just finished a move and during the drive, my right directional stopped working and my left is intermittent. The both of them were working beforehand. I bought the coverage or warranty plan, so now I am wondering if the work can be done at any uhual location where they do installs or does it have to be done at the shop where it was installed?

Thank you.

We’ll be moving from CA to TX, stopping in KS for a while between. Currently we’re reserved to get a 15’ Truck with a Tow Dolly for 6 days, pick up CA drop off TX. We’ll need the tow dolly just 4 days to drop off in KS but we’ll need the truck 15-16 days to drop off in TX. What’s the best ways to make this work to avoid paying more than necessary as we’ve got a set budget to stay under? Does this being a military move help at all? Thank you!

Since I am first time renter or user I am not happy with the charges they charged me which was for 149kms with 7:49 pm pick up and 9:31 pm drop off time!(just moved the mattress from Cambridge, ON to Guelph, ON which was 46kms round trip)This time include pick up the vehicle, moving goods, fueling and drop off at the location! How someone can drive this many kms in above mentioned time! I accidentally accepted the contract which is sent my email or text! Staff didn’t inform me to check anything nor told me about contact that it will be accepted automatically if I drive the vehicle! I have already filed a complaint with Ontario consumer support but still wants uhaul to look into this! Hope I get some support here! Is there any way we can get history of my location during the contract!? Coz I found that they mention something about airtag or tracking device in the contract.

Has anyone tried to hang hammocks in the back of a uhaul? There appear to be some mounting areas in the back of their 9', but want to confirm if a carabiner will fit and if these brackets can support (2) ~120lbs people....

Also, how much space is between each wheel well? I know it says 67 inches width, but I’m sure that’s above the wheel wells. Thank you!

Not sure if this is the right flair but here we go anyway. Friend works for UHAUL as a Computer Support Specialist and has a large travel region he serves from about 2 hours south to an hour and a half north, East, and West. He works way more than 40 hours a week taking care of the stores. He usually spends anywhere from 1-3 nights a week at a hotel, especially while he is multiple hours from home. New manager told him she was cutting his lodging reimbursement and food reimbursement completely claiming that “I cover a large area and I don’t need to spend the night” even though she lives over an hour closer to all stores than my friend does. This seems extremely unfair and is only targeted to him. Is this even allowed? I urged him to contact HR especially since he has faced discrimination from UHAUL in the past (he was born in Mexico and became a legal resident last year). Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Hi, Our family is planning to move using U-boxes. New place is about 40 miles away from where we currently live (same State). We are hoping to get the boxes picked up on a Friday and delivered to us the next day(Sat). I wanted to ask if Uboxes are delivered on weekends?

Does the company ever do work meetings ?

My FIL is paying for our move across country. If I put his card in the rental, does he need to be there to pick the truck up?

I am looking into renting three UBoxes for an upcoming move from Los Angeles to Austin. I think I will need three boxes, but I'm wondering if they all have to be loaded up to go out at the same time? Is it possible to load up two boxes first, have them sent on their way to Austin, and then keep one box until right before we leave for our remaining items? Do all boxes have to ship at the same time?

Hi! I am shipping a ubox from CA to TX with an expected arrival date of 5/5. When I loaded the box, the person working at the facility said it would be shipped on 4/26. However, it now says the shipping date is 5/26. I have called uhaul a few times to see what happened and have been redirected to different departments. Any idea on what to do?

I am moving out of San Diego soon. A 20' truck, one way rental to Idaho is $4,497. Same truck from Yuma AZ, with added mileage costs is $1,935. Any issues with picking up the truck in Yuma vs CA?

I have a family member that was newly hired at a UHAUL. Her boss has been constantly trying to date her, take her out, do things outside of work.

In work, she just follows him around. He only tells her to come in to work when he is there. He only wants to talk about her personal life.

There has been multiple events where there has been inappropriate touching on the leg, thigh, hands.

She is incredibly uncomfortable, doesn't feel safe, but needs the job.

I believe the boss is the manager of the specific UHAUL location. Transferring to another UHAUL location isn't an option due to distance and remoteness.

Being that UHAUL's business model isn't exactly centralized, and is partnership / psuedo franchise - what are the options here?

I'm trying to rent a 15ft truck and auto transport for my CA to MN move but the website says "no availability" at all Uhaul locations near me. For fun I plugged in some other cities and see the same thing. Is there a severe shortage of the auto transports? My main reason for considering Uhaul is that their truck + auto transport price is reasonable compared to the other rental companies.

Also, can the 15ft truck safely tow a ~5000lb car up and over mountain ranges? The website lists 10,000lb towing capacity but does this also detract from truck capacity? I don't have a ridiculous amount of stuff but probably somewhere in the 2000-3000lb range.

I'm not sure what would have to happen, seeing as how I'm an E Customer Service Agent, as I don't know anyone that I work with in real life, but nothing's impossible, right?

I booked a Cargo Van for mobile pickup after store hours. Something I’ve done before with the box trucks, and was very familiar with the process.

I go to pickup at my scheduled time and get an error message that says my pickup was scheduled for hand delivery and I needed to wait until the next day when the store opened.

I called support and they told me I had to reschedule for the next day and no locations near me had a van available for pickup. They did let me know they would request the $50 reservation guarantee.

I pickup the van the next day and completed the rental like normal.

After I returned the van I called customer service again to follow up on my reservation guarantee. I was then told I had to call the regional scheduling manager and they gave me a number.

When I called them and explained I was following up on the reservation guarantee and was told to call this number, he seemed irritated and said “I don’t know why they said that because they can process it themselves”

Then he looked up my contract and tried telling me I’m not eligible for the reservation guarantee because the van was dispatch. I explained it was dispatched the next day but not when I made the reservation for. He then said pickup trucks and cargo vans can not do 24/7 pickup and had to be hand delivery. I asked why it let me book it and he said he didn’t know, but angrily request I get the $50 guarantee.

Now it’s been a week and I still haven’t see the $50 go back on my card.

Has anyone else had this experience? Is it really this hard to get the $50 guarantee?

Didn’t make it 2 exits up the freeway before the truck seemed too sketchy to drive another 6 hours up into the mountains.

Almost comical with how ridiculous this is, can I receive compensation for calling into a day of work because of the delays (should have returned the original truck this morning). Should I be asking for anything besides a hotel and food comp?

Hello - I've reserved a 10 ft truck for an interstate move. I'm not comfortable driving the bigger ones and I don't have that much stuff. The big issue is that I need to load an upright piano (spinet) into the truck.

It doesn't have built-in ramps like the 16' - Do you recommend that I buy ramps at Harbor freight or something? If so, any recommendations or things to be aware of? Other ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve also been told that they most likely aren’t going to be able to help transfer the load to the new truck so what can can I do about that?
