This compliant to UHaul is about false advertising and not charging me the price I was quoted. While making an order online the website showed a 20% discount for ordering online, which I did. The price quoted me was $1,111 however I was charged the undiscounted amount of $1,389 in my invoice. I spoke to the business about this and all they could do was push this issue up as a complaint.I took the attached photo the day I did the online order which was 2/23/2025Business Response

I rented a truck to move on February 27 2025 In addition I hired 2 movers to help with the move. The movers were supposed to show up on the following day 2/28/25 They never showed up. Mind you I have the rental truck for 1 day. The movers informed that they would be there 3/1/25 at 12 pm. They didn't arrive until 6pm that evening. We went to the storage and it took 1 hour to load the truck. We ready to leave and the truck battery died. We then called roadside assistance which took 2 hours to get there. The movers I hired for 4 hours are now sitting and doing nothing for 2 hours. Finally we get the truck started and are ready to unload. The movers unloaded half the truck. I asked could they please complete the move I would give them additional money they took the money. Did not complete the move. Now I'm stuck trying to complete the move by myself. Now being charged for additional days for the truck. This is unfair to me. I'm disabled and needed help. I feel like I have been robbed. Can you please give a resolution? I just need to complete the moving process or my money back?Business Response

When I originally purchased the truck online it stated nothing about getting charged per mile and it was $100 to rent the truck. Then when I came to pick up the truck she told me they charged by the mile if I went over the estimated mileage which was 150 miles and I had gone to 180 miles. Which was 30 over the estimated mileage. So I was lied to from the start. Then they say at ******* after sending me the receipt that they charge per mile .99 cents and charged me for 180 miles. So they lied to me which is false advertisement online and terrible character. They also said if I go over the time the truck had to be returned that it was only $30 but they charged me a full day rate so that was also a lie. I want a refund of the money owed to me or I will be taking them to small claims court and contacting my bank. This is ridiculous and they should be ashamed! They are basically stealing, robbing, and lying to get people to rent the trucks and taking money from there account that shouldnt be taken. I want my money back! I will take this to the news and the papers. I am one they shouldnt have messed with because I wont stop till justice is served. You dont rob people and pull one over on them in business. Business should be providing a good service not stealing.Business Response

Dear Mr. ******************** you for your concern for our customer Ms. *********************** to Ms. ****** rental contract, she rented a 15 truck for an in-town rental. When making a reservation online, we post the truck rate plus the mileage fee. There are no hidden fees. At the time of rental, we ask our customer how many miles they will be traveling in order to estimate the rental charges. When the rental is completed, actual rental charges are calculated, depending on miles traveled and amount of time the equipment is in their possession. Ms. ***** estimated 125 miles and was advised the truck was due back at 11:00 am on February 26, 2025. According to the return contract, the truck was returned at 5:32 pm on February 26th, which went into an additional rental period at $29.95, and she traveled a total of ***** miles. The truck was also rented with a full tank for fuel, but returned at tank, thereby, adding a fuel charge. Rental charges are as follows:
$59.90 for 15 truck ($29.95 per rental period x 2), $178.70 for mileage (***** miles x $0.99 a mile), $2 Environmental Fee, $63.75 for fuel charge and $14.30 for Tax = $318.65.
All charges collected on Ms.****** rental are correct and will stand.

o drop the truck of the nearest uhaul. This added an extra 35 miles back and forth due to Uhauls original mistake. I was really pleased with the service that we received from the other store located at **************************************************************************. They went over and beyond for us and Im really appreciative for their help, but Im disappointed in that fact that all of this could have been avoided. We were told something about uhauls reservation guarantee, but have not heard anything, plus the extra miles was no help. I am hoping they can make this right. I have used the service before and Ive always had a great experience.Business Response
