| - We paid a moving company to move only our larger, two-man items to our new home. We just needed a small box truck to move our boxes, totes, and other miscellaneous items.
We actually just rolled on in here one morning at 8 am and asked what was available to rent for the day. Luckily, they did have a 10' box truck available! Perfect!
The rate was $19.95 per day plus 69 cents a mile. Not in a mood to price shop I was glad just to have a truck available at the first place I tried! I did opt to take their insurance for $14 per day. Usually, I am not one to just grab the upgrades and extra insurances, but the peace of mind alone was well worth that measly $14 fee.
If you have ever rented a truck before, than you know the drill. They pull it up, do the walk around, and verify the gas level. Honestly, just throw some gas in the tank before you come back. The price they charge you to refill it is not worth it!
After using the truck for about 7 hours, we swept out the back of the truck and brought it back. The gentleman who checked us back in was very friendly. After asking how the truck worked for us and if we had any problems, he was able to verify the charges and print up a receipt for us! The charges totaled around $80. I can totally live with that. He was also really grateful we had swept up the back of the truck. It was almost funny how happy he was about that! What can I say? I aims to please!
I was really satisfied with my experience here and would definitely recommend them to others. I sure as hell ain't moving again anytime in the foreseeable future(damn sight better not !), so I can't say I will be using them myself again anytime soon.
The only thing that really bugged me about this place was the fact that when you pull in off of Las Vegas Blvd. there are a group of guys apparently looking for under-the-table-temp work here. Kind of like Home Depot style. When we turned in about 8-10 guys were literally jumping up and down and waving at us while aggressively approaching the car. A definite W.T.F moment, if there ever was one. They followed us to our parking spot asking if we needed help. Just said no thank you and they were cool about backing off politely. Still, that should not be something you should have to encounter when you pull in to U-Haul to rent a truck. I asked the guy inside if he was aware of it. He just rolled his eyes and said, "yes we are and it's really annoying. Metro really doesn't care about it". Nice.
Anyways, that aside I really had a great experience here!
4 solid stars.
