    I needed to rent a truck and thought I would give U-Haul’s new service a shot. Basically, you can rent a truck on the website and pick it up using their mobile site. Well the process was pretty slick and straightforward, it was a little laborious but I’ll probably use it again. Here’s my full experience renting with U-Haul self service truck share.
    Need to rent a truck? Reserve now! Pick up anytime, day or night using your phone. Online help is available.

    U-Haul Truck Share® 2
    U-Haul Truck Share 24/7SM was created in response to the sharing economy that is sweeping the globe. U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 offers self-pick-up and self-return of trucks and vans at all hours. An internet-connected mobile device with camera and GPS is all that is needed to take advantage of the self-service options.
    This transformative technology employs a live verify system, which utilizes a team of trained and certified specialists who quickly and accurately vet customers during the self-pick-up step to safeguard the best interests of the customer, community and company.
    We’re on Your Schedule
    The millions of DIY movers across North America can now reserve, pick up, return and pay for their U-Haul trucks entirely on their smartphones. No more lines. No more scheduling around the confines of normal business hours.
    Need to start loading your truck at sunrise before your pick-up location opens? Terrific. Prefer to return your truck at night once you’ve unloaded, despite your drop-off location being closed? No sweat. U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 is available at all of the 21,000-plus truck sharing locations in the U-Haul network.
    Membership is FREE
    U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 doesn’t require a membership fee like car share companies. Log on to uhaul.com and create an account for instant membership privileges. U-Haul believes it has the largest such vehicle sharing membership base in North America.
    “We needed to address the changing demands of a tech-savvy moving public,” Shoen said. “The solution is an expedited and secure process that accommodates every schedule. It’s what our customers demanded. After a decade of work and millions of dollars in development, U-Haul is changing the game.”

    I guess this process goes smoothly depending on where you live. I live in The Bronx and signed up for 24/7. I got an email confirmation saying I could pick up the truck an hour early as long as I bring my phone to start the process. I get here early, and it says to wait till the place opens up for me to have my vehicle hand delivered :). Awesome!

    Thanks a lot. It did help me prepare well before going there to pick up. Few issues I encountered - Since I was doing it first time, they wanted to do certain identity verification, either two reference contacts, or passport or lease agreement. It took me a while to get it done. I wished if this was done earlier when booking, rather than during pick up. Another issue was with the photo of DL and many other items I had to take. My phone camera (OP6T) takes high res photos. So, the uhaul was not able to accept high mb photos. I had to do some camera settings change to work. Everything else was just as seen in the video. Thanks a lot for this.

      To you, maybe. To the rest of the world, maybe not. It is incredibly convenient for those who need to pick up a vehicle at a time they are not open, like me needing one on a Sunday (when they are closed). People have to think about ALL scenarios other than what they have personally experienced in their life. Have a great day.

      @petervonpanda  4 роки тому

      Hi, I work for U-Haul, and I thought Peter’s video on the Truckshare Program was great and very informative! The 15 ft Truck is the smallest truck big enough to put a ramp under the box, but if you are planning on moving just 2 appliances, the 10ft truck would be the best option for you. As for Dollies, you can definitely rent them online, and if using the Truckshare program, your dealer will place them inside the truck before your rental. Best of luck on your rental!

  • @drwombat
    @drwombat 2 роки тому +1

    So what was your total mileage driven as well as your rate? Could you possibly do a breakdown of the receipt and all of the fees and charges? It does not seem nearly as good of a deal as advertised I mean g you would expect a vehicle that has $19.95 plastered on the side of it as though it were the majority price tag and for the fees and various other charges not to exceed that $19.95 sign on the side of the truck so I'm very surprised that you started off at twenty bucks and then somehow got hit up for an extra $60 on just fees and mileage because that does not seem like a $20 deal...
    And all that being said, what exactly does the $20 deal get you? 1 mile? you rent the truck drive it for a mile and then take it back and there's your 20 bucks? I mean it just seems like a total bait-and-switch for them to put $20 on the side of the van and then for your fees to exceed the cost of the rental so I mean geez
    I mean it's well known that the rental car agencies and rental van and hauling agencies for moving houses and whatnot those companies are ripe for disruption in the same way that ober disrupted the taxi industry and hopefully once technology decides to disrupt those industries we will have a plethora of options to be able to rent vehicles on demand and might end up in a situation where even in large sprawl cities where a car is a necessity, we'll end up at a point where we no longer need to own a vehicle we can just rent one whenever we need one and it's affordable enough not to have to weigh the pros and cons of buying a car vs renting one for $500 a week you know?
    Anyways, great video /rant

    • @ChaseBenjaminCollects
      @ChaseBenjaminCollects 2 роки тому

      They charge you 19.99 a day for the truck but then they slap on .89 cents a mile onto the charge! So if you’re driving a long way, it’ll rack up the bill quickly.
      I’ve heard that they do give you deals if you are driving more than 200 miles or something like that. But it’s still pretty costly at the end. But, if you don’t own a van and need one, it’s the best deal around most of the time!

    Don't trust this video. U-Haul will charge you much more than you should pay!
