Complaint Review: Uhaul

Uhaul again dropped the ball.  I booked a 6x12 trailer for a date in May for 8 am.  They called and said it was only available at noon.  Showed up at noon to see about 5 or 6 trailers just sitting there..  Get it set up, it shorts the lights out on my truck.  Now they cant rent it to me.  SO I screw around on a sunday trying to find a shop open to find and fix the problem (I didnt know it was a short fuse yet). 

Incredibly luckily I find a guy to fix it, get it back for 4pm.  Get a trailer set up that does not short out the fuse set up by 4:30.  The debit set up does not accept my card or my girlfriends.  Called the bank it was not my end at all, it was uhauls.  Uhaul chages me a $60 deposit which they kept.  The total for renting this POS trailer is now $920.

Normally this would be the usual bs with uhaul but I was on my 7 days off work and had to pack a trailer, then drive from Ottawa Ontario, to Calgary, Alberta (4000 km drive), then unpack it all in 4 days to catch a flight in calgary to work (14 days on).

Plus I had help arranged to pack the trailer at like 2 pm which now was all screwed up and unavailable etc etc

The real kicker was when the trailer started swearving all over the road at 60km/hr.......

It was unsafe to drive, let alone across the country and this happened at like 9:30pm after dealing with their BS all day long.  I had to get to calgary in like 4 days.  So I had no time to actually deal with the problem. 

I left the trailer in Ottawa and drove to Calgary the next AM and paid a guy $2000 to get it fixed or whatever and to Calgary.  Because I am at work up north in Ft McMurray, I was unable to help unload when it finaly got to Calgary I had to pay a guy $300 to unpack it.

So had it been on time, and working, I would have made it on time to Calgary, unpacked and had time to chill before going to work.  Ultimately uhaul cost me $2300+.

I will never ever ever in my lifetime use uhaul again and I urge you all to do the same.  This is not the first time they have screwed me, but this is the most severly.
