  Never again. Having rented from U-Haul countless times in the past, I opted for Penske because there were no options for my desired size/destination. The online check-out process was easy enough, and we were all set to haul our belongings from NYC > Connecticut. The pick-up was scheduled for noon on Saturday. Unfortunately, we were running behind, and at about 5 minutes to noon, someone from the location called & asked if I was still coming. I said that I was running behind, tracking around 1:00pm. They said no problem, see you then. I arrived to the location at 1:07pm to find that the office was deadbolt shut, with no one responding to the doorbell or answering my calls. I reached out to Penske asking them what was happening, to which they replied “oh it looks like this location closed at 1:00pm”. I said that someone from the store called me and said “no problem” and never mentioned that they were closing at 1:00pm (had they told me, I could’ve easily gotten a friend who lives nearby to pick up the keys). The customer service rep said he’ll try reaching out to the location (despite my having already done so) and unsurprisingly he said they couldn’t get anyone on the phone. Clearly frustrated at this point, I asked what our options were. They said they didn’t have any trucks for us until Sunday, and that there’s “nothing they can do”. I said that it’s really not right — we had an interstate move scheduled, and it wasn’t as easy as just pushing it back a day. The customer service rep had the audacity to say “well if my shift ends at 1:00pm on a Saturday, I’d also want to leave right on the dot”. Seriously?! I completely understand that I was late, but this had already been discussed with the location, to which they said was totally fine. Not even a courtesy call or anything?! What a joke. The silver lining is that after a quick google search, I found “C.C. Rental” — a similar truck rental company located less than a half mile away. The rep on the phone had me in a comparable truck in under 15 minutes, and here’s the kicker…it was HALF the cost! Not to mention, you get 100 miles included for free. Definitely never trying Penske again, and after my experience with C.C. (from a $ standpoint) I might be passing on U-Haul going forward as well…

  Rented a Ford Transit 250 high roof cargo van from this location for a one-way trip to Chicago and had a great experience -- the Penske rep on the phone (not connected with this specific location) was super friendly and tried to find me all the deals (for example, prices varied depending on which drop-off in Chicago I chose, and she searched for the cheapest). Penske called to confirm the rental a few days in advance, which gave peace of mind, and I was in and out of the location (which, admittedly, is in a not very inviting looking trailer) within 10 minutes on the day of pick up. Bonus: Nobody tried to upsell me on insurance or moving accessories. The van was super clean and new, with only 400 miles, and though this is a very tricky intersection to be driving a cargo vehicle through for the first time, one of the workers helped stop traffic so I could merge onto the road, which was a huge help. I'd considered renting from Budget because I got a cheaper quote, but really glad I went with Penske since they actually guarantee that the vehicle you rent will be there at the time you select.

  This is now my go to place when I rent (which can be often!). There are other rental companies around the same price closer to me...BUT without a doubt this is the least stressful, EASIEST, quickest place with the best Customer Service. JANAE (I think she is the Manager?) ROCKS! She was extremely helpful & Jesse who works there is super laid back & a pleasure, too. Even Jorge(?) who checked out the van with me was great! I specifically called Allen who I was told was the Boss to let him know how great they were. The ONLY issue I have is that it is far from the subway, & I don't think there is a bus from there (at least that I have seen), so if I drop off late, I need to take an Uber home.
