There is no one who will take as good quality care, will be as careful moving, or be as careful driving as you.

Some will recommend U-Haul, and having moved from Austin to Seatle (U-haul caught fire), from Seatle back to Austin (had to unload/reload in Phoenix - transmission went out), and finally from South Austin to north Austin (had to again switch vehicles) I make it my point in life to bypass U-Haul. I’ve used Penske - they use NEW trucks - and have never had a problem since. Yes, a little more expensive; but spending a day with a broken vehicle and then unloading/reloading a vehicle to complete a trip will more than make up any ‘cost savings’ - and that doesn’t include the pain-in-the-butt of the unload/reload.

For Uhaul all maintenance is done at the cost of the franchisee. So the place you rent from pays for maintenance.

So they dont do any maintenance unless they have to, which results in poorly maintained vehicles.
